We Fell in Love with a House

When Annie and I first started looking at houses in the west part of town, we found a little gem that really got our attention:



Sorry for the scan resolution; perhaps the future will hold crisper images.

Continuing on, this tiny little place was in a quiet little corner of Tulsa, very little crime, quaint neighborhood, the works. The house had two outbuildings for storage, which it needed, because it was only 528 square feet. It had a carport. And the price was just about right. We really liked this house from the curb, too; it was a pretty place.

Then we went inside and really looked around. The back bedroom was just added on, probably without a permit, because it certainly didn't meet code. The walls bore cracks galore from a foundation poor. And the central air conditioner? Its outside unit was no longer resident. And the carport was in need of repair and/or replacement.

We realized that the house had real issues, considering the back bedroom and the foundation, so we had to cut the ties of our heart.
