_{^{~Groovin' With Soccamom~}}

When we bought this house last year, it was purchased in a pretty big hurry. We had toured it and though hubby loved it at first sight, I had my reservations. I liked the house well enough, just not the location. We are right across the street from Miss Boo's school and on a fairly busy street. As things happened, our house sold and we were nearly out of options and decided to make an offer on this place. By that time this house had been on the market for awhile and the owners had moved out of state thus allowing us to place and win the home with a fairly low offer.

One of the major things that attracted the hubby was the fireplace. He'd never lived in a home with a fireplace and was excited over the prospect of a roaring fire on a cold winter evening. Because of the timing we weren't able to have the fireplace checked until recently. You probably know where this is going: the flue handle is broken and it looks as if there may be some exposed insulation in the chimney. I really don't know what it's going to take monitarily to fix this, but it looks as if there may not be any cozy fires yet this winter. Poor hubby.
