having a blast here in tn, the weather is co-operating nicely.
got here on wednesday, did some grocery shopping and had a quiet night in, hotel provided dinner
thursday we whent out to look at 5 houses, of those 2 are still strong contenders...
#1 is a house in pulaski tn, cute, small would need a 1/2 bath added asap as the only bath is through the bedroom...kinda an odd layout but workable. 2.3 acres and the owners got some wiggle room on the price.
it is having a septic issue (broken pipe most likley as theyve been parking a truck on wet ground in the area leading to the septic...)
the floor in the bedroom by the bathroom door is a little dipped...bad structure mabe? none of the other floors are dipped/unlevel and the celings are all level...
the 2nd bedroom is a makeshift, looks like its been mabe a porch or something in the past, its very odd...but again workable for the price.
#2 is winning so far and is in Lutts (about 1/2 hour from shopping in savannah tn and about 1 hour from shopping in florence AL)
house is stuck in the 70's (even though it was built in the 80's lol.) but definatly nice, its got no drywall, instead the whole place is done in the thin panneling stuff...bad cause welll its panneling (and it looks like someone been punching holes in some spots lol) good because it would be incredibly easy to pull out and replace with either new NICER panneling or drywall...
its got 1 fll bath thats deifnatly workable, laundry is in there too and a tiny 1/2 bath off one of the bedrooms, toilets probbaly will need replacing theres some cracks in the tanks, and they look yicky...
2.37 acres of mostly cleared level to sloping lot and some woodland at the back.
its cheaper but its a hud home so not as much wiggle room on the price.
friday we decided to be tourists, whent to the zoo in the morning then to 3rd and lindsleys in nashville for dinner and a show, caught the abba tribute band knowing me knowing you and they were AWESOME and the food delicious.
saturday more touristy stuff, whent to the nashville farmers market, definatly a good place to buy started veggies, plants and herbs...the fleamarket side wasnt anythign impressive though.
then we took a drive to the opryland hotel, STUNNING, couldnt spend more than a couple of hours there unless your planning on eating and such, but otherwise, VERY pretty...
had a quiet night in.
today was crazy day...we decided to drive the 2 1/2 hours back down to the lutts house and get more pictures from the outside and of the land...i realy like it...and the drive is pretty...but 2 1/2 hours is rough...my biggest concern is while it would be great for me, id probably have very few places to take guests (unless florence has places to visit) we then drove into savannah which would be the closest major shopping (walmart and such) which then made it a 3 and a bit hour drive back to nashville...LONG day.
tonights a quiet night in too...after all that driving today, im tired.
tomorrow were meeting another realtor whos going to show us some properties to the north/north-east of nashville, about 45mins away from nashville itself...probably a little better in terms of acess to activity for visitors, but i know at least 1 of the properties were seeing has less land than the lutts house.
no restrictions though so that works.
then tuesday will be a quiet day, packing, and seeing last minute things, were going to walk broadway and catch a show/meal that night as a "last huzza" before flights home on wednesday.
i promise there will be pictures once i get home and have full interwebs back
btu it is absolutly beuatiful out here!
