I know I got all excited about the move to Missouri but soon to find out there were more problems with the house than I originally anticipated. First, it was the septic tank, it wasn't sitting level (the guy put it on pea gravel and just left it, didn't level it), then we had the roof that had to be replaced because its over 30 years old and with all the storms they get it had storm damage. Then, after that it was the siding (wood siding) and it had major termite damage so basically right there it would have been a choice to tear it down and start over. After that the judge calls us and says the lady who is selling it with her soon to be ex-husband wanted to move back in because she got evicted from her apartment for not paying rent, said she begged and begged and he told her she'd have to pay the state taxes which came to 5,000 dollars. By that time I was so fed up with stuff I said we're not buying it, if we want to we'll go somewhere else. But now with Gary working at Toni's and me working at Rural King we're thinking about just buying the trailer we're in, the only bad thing about it is there isn't a basement. I agree with him, we are settled and we're established and I really don't want to have to pack again (hate packing) so it looks like we're staying in Illinois. We might eventually move the trailer to a different location but no time soon though. So yes, we're staying here like it or not everyone lol j/k.

there are plenty of nice houses here in town for sale. Just maybe one may be the one you like. I have found a few, but not exactly what I want.
