Cory and April’s New House

Posted on August 14, 2008 by under Life.    

We finally got to check out Cory and April’s new house. We had previously only seen pictures of it. They don’t close until tomorrow. They were supposed to close on Monday, but the seller’s ex-wife wanted to collect unpaid alimony from the proceeds of the sale so the seller had to work that out somehow. Minor snag aside, it looks like everything is going according to plan. The seller let Cory and April move the stuff from their storage unit to the house’s garage. We did that on Tuesday. Here are some pictures…

I would say that WE helped move the stuff, but I’d be lying. I maybe helped a little bit. The guys did most of the work. =P

Cory and April’s house floor plan reminds me of mom and dad’s house except on a smaller footprint. Same split bedroom floor plan minus the formal dining and with two bedrooms on the main level instead of three. Then the laundry is in the basement, whereas at mom and dad’s the laundry is on the main level. Both house plans have the same mid-level walkout except mom and dad’s breakfast nook off the kitchen opens to a covered deck.

Other differences include two bedrooms in the basement of Cory and April’s house instead of one big bedroom at mom and dad’s. I wasn’t really counting mom and dad’s office as a bedroom because it has no windows. Also, mom and dad have that extra bar area that has the double doors. The larger footprint affords them all that extra room, though.

Overall, Cory and April’s house looks great. It sounds like they got a fantastic deal on it, too. Plus, it’s in Wichita instead of in the boonies like the other house. =P

I can’t wait until it’s our turn. We just can’t get motivated, though. Ugh. At the rate we are going, our house will be paid off (ten more years) before we complete our remodel.
