I’m putting the cart a little before the horse.

This time I’m blogging it with some pretty funny blog material, tutorials, and just trying to track the entire event from looking at the house to closing on it, Working on it and then selling it.The first one I did OK, the second one I allowed myself to get derailed with my daughters disastrous life and so I really took a beating on that and decided I needed  to get back up on the horse and stay focused and show myself that I can do it right this time and I did or I should say I am.
