Creepy Mr. Rogers references aside, we’re truly wondering who will be our neighbor. As most of our dedicated readers know, a house was recently built on the lot behind us. Let’s back track a bit with a little history lesson. The previous owners of our house had two pieces of land which were previously sub-divided. However, they clearly used both properties as one considering their house was on one property and their shed was on the other property.
Our house was an estate sale and when we purchased back in August of 2011, the estate holders sold our house and, separately, sold the property behind us. Long story short, a local developer bought that property and slowly but surely has been building a house on it.
For awhile, it seemed like nothing was going on with the process, but lately things have really been moving along. As we mentioned in a previous post, one day we came home and the shed had been completely torn down!
The latest development is all the hay they’ve spread around.
Might I add…our grass is looking might fine! 🙂
I don’t know much about planting grass, but I’m guessing this is something that needs to be done before laying sod. Again, not an expert in this area. However, what we’re really wishing waiting expecting is a fence! This has been a point of contention for us since we bought the house; “Who will buy the fence?” “Should we wait until they buy one?” “Will they buy one?” “If we split the cost with the eventual new owners, who actually owns the fence?” These are the questions we are constantly asking ourselves. But not now, we’re just waiting to come home one day to a brand new fence! The good news is, according to online real estate resources, the sale of the home is now pending! So we may have a neighbor sooner than we think.
Sad, but true, that this is the most exciting thing we have going on at the house right now. There are a bunch of open-ended projects going on right now such as:
- Re-doing the threshold between the kitchen and dining room.
- Finish installing the new drop ceiling tiles in the basement (this project is embarrassingly behind)
- Re-paint the living room a more muted, earthy green color
- Hire an electrician to figure out what’s going on with our ceiling fans (the wiring is older and we don’t want to mess with that)!
We promise we’ll get back down to business soon and then we will have tons to blog about! Stick with us, but in the meantime, follow us on Instagram (Follow Megan and Andrew) and Pinterest, and be sure to give our Official Facebook page a “like!”
