New house! - 06.23.2008, 02:20 PM

Because it's a major life event for me and you guys are pretty much the only friends I have outside of family, I wanted to let you all know that I'm buying my first house!

My wife and I have been looking for months and we've finally found it. It's not much of a house for some of you folk$, but it's fantastic for us. The best part is that it has wood floors for my son's new wheelchair (another exciting life event, as he's been needing it for a long time now). It also has a finished basement with a large room for my home office - r/c room.

I can't tell you how excited I am for it. Just thought I'd share.

Anyway, look for me to be selling lots of R/C stuff soon to help with the down payment. I won't be selling everything of course, but I really need to lighten my collection anyway. With the new house payment, I won't be able to afford to fix broken cars anyway!

Yeeeeee-ah!

Did I mention that it's right up against a mountain with tons of bashing spots?! Party!!!!



He's down by the river ... walking on water.

Dude that is an excellent house!! Congrats. That mountain looks great! After R/C I boulder or in New Orleans (since there are no boulders) I urban climb. I think you have a great home.

wow, that's a great first house!! i'd say it's probably better on average than most people's first homes!

i just bought a house 2 weeks ago (my first one too - mine's not nearly as nice as i bought it alone lol) and know about sacrificing r/c's. i thinned the herd down to just my xray xt8...

anyhow, congrats!

I'm buying mine alone too because my wife's only job is to take care of our two kids and spend the money I make. :-) I must admit that one of our kids needs a bit more attention than the other, so she has her work cut out for her. Fortunately I work from home, so I get to help out a lot with the kids as well.

Congrats, Clodmaxx, on buying your first home too!

We are scheduled to close the house on my 30th birthday, which is extra cool for me because it was always my goal. The house is pretty nice for a first home, but it's probably not as expensive as it looks because it's in Utah (cheap houses).

That would be way cool to have a housewarming party. It's too bad all you guys live far away!

Here's a pic of the new wheelchair with Wyatt(2 years old) and my wife, Bree. (Oh yeah, Wyatt got his wheelchair on his 2nd birthday, and that's why he's wearing that funny hat.)

Thanks, mkrusedc.

I guess I shouldn't leave out my daughter, Mia. She'll be 4 in August.



I do feel very blessed. We don't have everything we want, but we have everything we need and more.

At 30 years old you have already "made it" if you realize that.
