Argh!

Note to my subconscious: this is not a funny April Fool's joke.

I had my first homeowner nightmare last night. We bought a Greenbelt Coop* frame house (they're a lot cheaper than the brick or block ones) sight unseen and OMG it was awful. Gaps between the floorboards, nothing underneath them but the first floor, and a running gap between the floor and one whole side of an outside wall. And the building swayed when you jumped hard. It really felt real, which was the truly scary part. Oh, and it was in either North or South Carolina. Mom and Dad had to come rescue me because I was practically hysterical (Don't know where Ken was, probably working.)

Fortunately I was awakened by the water-testing guy calling to say he was coming around 9 or 9:30.

*Ken and I have been eyeing that community because it's affordable, has a close sense of community, and has lots of great amenities like a woodland trail, coop nursery, and community center.
