For those of you who have been following my "homeless" status (never without a home the last 2 years just not one of my own!)...

My sister and I bought a house in Virginia 2 days ago!!! Well, we have a ratified contract and just have to find the money to close June 15.

The property is 19 acres, mostly wooded. A wide creek runs through the front of it, with a covered bridge across the creek to the road. The house is 3 bedroom, 2 baths, and has an addition on the front that's a den or family room. That room has pegged wood floors and a brick fireplace with gas logs. There is another smaller addition on the back, ostensibly an office but I think it will become a mud room and house the freezer. Front of the house has a 54 foot long covered deck, and a smaller covered deck on the back of the house.

The house is actually a single wide mobile home but doesn't look or feel like it. House is about 20 years old, on an old homesite. The site itself has an old barn, a chicken coop, root cellar, a potable spring and a spring house. There is also a workshop that we might tear down and replace with a larger shop space.
