Sorry for not posting for such a long time but I have not been available for quite some time. There has been a couple of moves since my last post. I have definitely been around the block but it looks like we are finally going home. Back to Nuttal’s Place!

I must admit I totally forgot about this web site and have been just sitting on it. Now I can start posting since I really have never used it yet. This is already half way through 2008 and I just found this site.

A lot has happened in the past couple of years and I have a new grandson that I spend a great deal of time with. He is so sweet and I am so excited for my youngest daughter to have such a beautiful baby boy.

My husband and I are so excited to be moving back home finally. We welcome the ghosts that live in the house and all. We love our haunted house and plan on living out the rest of our lives there. It may seem like a big ol’ house to some but it has always been our home and our children’s home. Even the kids are happy as hell that we are moving back.

Everyone is anxiously awaiting all those family gatherings around the big kitchen and the Holidays filled with family gatherings. Since we gave all our belongings away when we downsized to a trailer, we have been picking up all the furniture we can find. It will be a busy summer settling in.

The house is in pretty bad shape. The last owners did not take very good care of it and lost the house and foreclosed. It is taking longer than expected to close on the house. There are a lot of things to take care of before the house can pass FHA inspection. The house has been stripped pretty much. When people say “everything was taken but the kitchen sink” well…. even the kitchen sink was gone.

Buying a foreclosed house is a big savings to the buyer but a lot of the responsibility on bringing the house up to code falls on the buyer instead of the seller. There has been a build up of mold in the downstairs bedroom due to the house being shut up for so long with no utilities running. The well is not working and a new well needs to be put down. The fixtures need replacing and electrical needs work. The wood stove in the back room has been replaced with a different stove that has no name on it and the insurance company is having an issue with that. We still do not know the shape of the furnace or the hot water heater.

The house inside is filthy. All the carpets need deep cleaning. the floors and walls are nasty and the fixtures need extreme sanitizing.

But all and all, we are going home. It will be good and we will be good. I will keep you updated on our progress and get some photos up as soon as I can.
