    Its like a dream come true.

    We basically divided up the house. the workshop, finished basement, downstairs bathroom and main bedroom are mine. Shes got the upstairs bath and the two smaller bedrooms, the living room and the kitchen.

    I told her when i moved in.. the secret to living together is staying out of each others way.

    Having three floors makes getting some 'alone time' pretty easy.

    I have to say that does qualify as two really great acquisitions, or one super package. It sounds like it is a match for sure.
    The place is looking great. I had a theory 21 plus years ago, keeping checking stuff off of the honey do list, and she will keep adding stuff, but never finish the list, it keeps your stock value high.

    My dad said hes been working on his for about 30 years!! TBH after renting apartments for the last 20 years i kinda like being able to fix the place up the way I like it. The lawn will be a chore in the spring and we have a few other big projects lined up for this summer. Pride of ownership has a new meaning to me.

    Nice place. Sounds like you are getting a lot done.
    I too am glad I watched my Dad work, I just wish I knew a fraction of what he does about carpentry/plumbing/ electrical/etc.

    I'm wondering what it is like to have two bathrooms and space to put things!
