Okay, new thread for those brave enough to follow me on this journey. Buying this place, has been the hardest, craziest, weirdest experience in all my life. The papers are signed and I own the house now.

My insurance company called two days ago saying they need pictures of all the outbuildings OR they need to go out for an inspection. Hubby told them we would be there and would get pictures. For some reason, he had to throw in a remark about how we might take out some of the buildings so they were questioning the amount of coverage we would need. The original amount they told me for outbuildings was $26,ooo which I thought was fine. I guess because of the number of buildings, they decided that was not enough coverage. What did they think would be more appropriate? They wanted my outside buildings at $90,ooo coverage! Heck, I could rebuild the house for that!

So, after sending all the pics and descriptions, they decided they would keep the coverage as is but one building would have to go. They want the chicken coop torn down?? Now, I agree it looks awful. I think the walls look like dumpster finds. I have no idea how old the thing is, but let's face it. It is a building for chickens! LOL What I know about chickens-they taste good! Do they not fling feathers all over and walk in their own poop? Last night in chat, it was referred to as my $64k chicken coop. I figure this is a good place to start the new thread! I have 30 days to tear it down, so no need to landscape it!
