The Man Can't Help Himself

My husband has a problem with stress buying. We've been stressed out, so now we have a new computer with all kinds of upgrades, and now....this:


Yep. We are buying ANOTHER house. This will be #3. Actually, we've been trying to get another house for several months, but since they are so incredibly cheap, they keep getting snatched out from under us. This one is a 'flip' - aka we will renovate and then sell it this summer or rent it if we can't sell for a certain level of profit. It's in the Westview neighborhood, which is next to ours and is also a neighborhood we really like. It's a great old house with a ton of potential that's been messed up a bit by other renovators. It needs mostly cosmetic work. I'm sure I'll give intermittent updates about it as we progress on this new project!

In other news, the Georgia Board of Education recommends that the Kindezi School Charter be approved! The school will open this fall with an initial enrollment of 96 students and grow to a capacity of 216 over the next five years. We are very excited - our kids will attend this school. It proposes a six students to one teacher ratio with differentiated learning based on the Socratic method and an arts and leadership focus. Basically, the kids will get one-on-one instruction since the classes are so small. Hooray!

That is a charming house! I can't wait to see what you do to it.

Wow! I too am a stress shopper, but I usually get like a shirt or a pair of pants. A little jealous about the house! I can't wait to see the results.
