Property

Liane has been searching for houses and potential property upon which we might build. The Eagle Glen addition mentioned previously is a contender, and recently we found a nice, 2.9 acre lot in an addition called Lake Trail Estates, which is about half way between Sweetwter and Columbia City. We don’t need anywhere near 2.9 acres – I can see me in a riding lawn mower already – but it is a decent lot with a view to a small lake off the back. It features a topography that looks like it could work well with a walk out basement, which is something we really want (more on that later), and the small neighborhood it’s in looks like a nice place to live.

We’ve looked at a few pieces of property that have potential and many that do not. It’s very hard to visualize what a house would look like on some of them. Then, of course, there is the anxiety about what we don’t know. A mentor of mine used to say, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” He didn’t mean it to state the obvious. His point was that there are many things you know, and many things you know you do not know, but the dangerous things are the things you don’t know you don’t know…if that makes any sense… We have a lot to learn and understand before we proceed. For now we’re just looking.
