I recently got a new job working about 30 min. away in Blacksburg, VA. Riley and I started to look for a place to live that was more in the middle for both of us. Salem seemed to be the perfect fit. It was cute, poverty free, and had this very friendly small town vibe, kinda like mayberry. After looking for about a week at really expensive, big, and maintenance free houses, we decided to go with the complete opposite. We purchased a tiny, cheap, fixer upper. We are so excited and overwhelmed with this house! The past 2 months have been hilarious. I now realize that I have married the clumsiest man alive, a regular chevy chase, bless his heart. After 2 paint buckets spilt, tile broken, paint in the eye, water faucet hose spewing in the kitchen and then putting the hose INSIDE my car...... it has been funny. We are going room by room and putting our/my style in each. I can't wait to see the finished product. We are still living in the apartment while we work on it. At the end of the month we should make the big move. We are just trying to finish painting and tiling before furniture goes in. We tried to stay there one night in our sleeping bags but the paint fumes were too strong that we left at 3 in the morning.
Here is a short little video of the house and neighborhood. We need to take more pictures.
