Transcript excerpt
So if you're new here, we bought this house in 2019 and renovated part of it to move in and then pandemic it. So we hit major pause. But when we bought it, it was as is potting siding, squirrels in the attic. Come to find out better on there was a snake in the attic. Fast forward 2024, we decided to do the siding, do the roof, the windows, and make this, like, great for the next, like, ten years. Well, then we lived somewhere else for a whole six months, and I was like, wait. We already have a dream. So, we went full sent on this house. I was like, this is our dream house. I don't wanna leave, so we're gonna make it everything we want, and we're not going anywhere. So this is it. This is where we're gonna be, and that makes me so happy. When we bought this house, I, like, saw this in my brain. I was like, someday. Tier gonna have a covered porch, outdoor fireplace, windows that go through, watch the sunset, and, like, seeing it in real life. It's really too much for the heart, honestly. Can't believe it.
