Quin Gets A New House!



In just over two weeks Quin gets a new house. We bought this place in Loveland, less than ten minutes directly south of Matt and Becky's house. It's got all the space we need and have needed for many years now. We're graduating from our previous 1200 square feet to 2800 square feet!

We get some great new features too, such as a three car garage (woodshop baby!) and a 1000 square foot basement. We get a dedicated dining room, a living room and family room, and a loft for the office. In the basement we'll set up a permanent photography studio. Quin gets a nice big back yard to play in.

We got a steal on the house. It's a foreclosure, but we lucked out and it's in great shape. Just needs fresh paint and carpet. After we close, I'll spend a couple weeks moving, painting, and installing wood floors throughout the main level. Then carpet will be installed on the top floor and we're ready to start living there!

One of the really cool features of the house is that it was built five years ago, by a builder that specializes in green homes. This place is built top to bottom to be environmentally friendly and energy efficient. In fact, our house was rated as one of the most energy efficient mass produced homes in Colorado. We'll save an average of 75-100 dollars per month on utility bills. Now that's cool.

We're super excited to finally get our lives back to normal. No more living out of boxes. No more storage units. No more going without just because something is buried in that storage unit. After over a year of living in limbo, we can finally get our lives back on track!
