cheekyNow Playing: Day 2575-Next GP Chapter... Turning Lemons Into Lemonade :)
A HUGE shout-out to sis and her hubby down south as they celebrate a little ole someones birthday today. A mere 30ish birthday or... maybe a few years younger?..
*WINK*
I am so happy that everyone had such a great time! You all more than deserve it and such a dashing couple!
Framily, friends who are family. XOXOXO
We are still in the process of things legally with regards to our lemonade home. Due to a few family members stating to some, that they are tired of hearing about the lemonade home, along with anything else that is negative. Whether that be the house or health issues. I have decided to honor ones wishes with many BLOGTASTIC entries for the upcoming month of February! A little hint... Greenscreen! Now mind you, I am not referring to our entire family, please now... No assumptions. Heeheeheehee!
We have, however, come across some very interesting findings. Thanks to those who have also weighed into the great lemonade house mystery, those whom have recently given us some friendly advice based off of many years of experience. Professional experience.
It seems, we might be sitting on some sort of sinkholes, among other foundation issues. There is also a fairly large and very long creek that runs behind our property. Actually, it begins from the top of the hill and down around to other properties on our street. Mind you, this doesn't mean that it was OK, to lie on a disclosure nor sell a home without listing it, 'AS-IS.' This photo is a neighbors foundation, also separating, which could be contributed as well to clay in the soil, the creek running through the back of the property, limestone and rock shifting, among other things. Needless to say, we would not recommend anyone purchasing a home in the small city where we recently bought our home. In fact, Geo Engineers gave us even better information, after realizing the city soil report for our home has been recently and quite mysteriously, locked for public viewing. Hmmmm?...
Per told by Geo Engineers who are also working on a local Walmart store, a mere 1 minute drive from our home, which is also sinking. "I would not suggest buying a home in the city which you currently reside because the ground is not stable." Too bad we weren't warned this ahead of 
time, same as not knowing a year prior, local counselor and the city mayor approved the Duke Energy tree slashing proposal. Like... sometime before closing would had been nice to know everything. Who would had thought to check on the soil and city property soil report, before purchasing a home? Not I. This entire experience has been some what, positive. I have learned a great deal about a huge array of topics that I would had never, prior to purchasing a home, would had ever dreamed about learning.
There is always a silver lining! A-L-W-A-Y-S!
Knowing that other neighbors are dealing with somewhat, similar issues, doesn't make what happened with our fictitious purchase any better, but at least if we sink, our neighbors will be going down with us. Together! Hahahahaha! Well, there are other options you know. Like... turning a storage shed into a really cool eco-friendly tiny house! Put three of them together and Eric said, "You could have a super tiny home with an attached garage! Hahahahaha!
Then of course, there is always a possibility in purchasing the oldest home in our little, lazy, river town. If this old, back in the day mansion, can not only withstand the test of time, but as well, too many great floods to mention. Then sign us up! WOO~HOO!! It's not only a sturdy home with lots of potential, but what a great place to investigate with all of our equipment. BONUS! Heeheeheehee...
Why, look at the time! Yep, time to get my Steelers face on! I have hope, but this sure is going to be one HECK of a playoff GAME!
WOO~HOO!
