My uncle is being helpful, like: All you have to do is blow out this wall and extend the bathroom. If you're going to borrow $100,000, why not spend $100,000 more and be done with it, with no hassle?

It looked like somebody evacuated because there were toys out back covered by cobwebs. A car in the driveway had a five-year-old expired registration. It was like something went wrong and they left in a hurry.

Everyone had a different opinion. I found the whole thing very confusing.

I crunched some numbers. I saw we could look up to $800,000 and above, depending on property taxes.

You can't go anywhere but up or down. The constant smell of must made me sick.

You want a buyer beware? It is not their problem if you work out of the house and need high-speed cable and lots of phone lines.

I thought it was O.K., I thought it would work. The school bus goes directly in front of the house.
