Southern mansion

We bought a house today! Not quite a mansion but it is a good size for us and has an amazingly large backyard (0.5 acre block). We even have a FROG (finished room over garage) for guests. On the northern side of town, it's in a sub division called Middle Point that does not allow clothes lines, boat parking, or poultry. Garden statues, mass plantings and tree houses must gain permission. We thought we had escaped the evils of pine trees but alas there are heaps of them in the backyard! It will probably be a month or so before we can move in but in the meantime we have a lot of furniture to buy.

Congratulations! Looks like a great house. Have fun looking for furniture and setting it up. Shame about the no chicken rule :)

I gather the lack of clothesline is because Americans generally tumble dry their clothes? Congratulations on the American dream :) Kath xo

Congratulations. Now you will own half an acre of the US. A good start for property investments.
