That's around what she spent. 147k I think was the final total.

Not bad for a duplex. She could have bought it herself and rented out half. But as it is they'll both be paying around what they paid in rent, but gaining some equity along the way.

My only concern for her is she's taking the downstairs which is huge. I don't think she's aware of how big her heating bills will be.

Oh I'm looking soooooooooooooo forward to her first heating bill. Expecially since they say it's going to go up 39% this year (lowered estimates from earlier this summer).

When she'd come over to my house she'd gripe and moan about how cold it was and I'd say "Wait until you get your first $150 heating bill and see how warm you keep your house!"

THE FUTURE IS NOW! Buwah ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa!

Yeah! It was in the journal sentinal two days ago. We Energies is saying natural gas rates will be up 39% this winter.

I heard double digit raise, didn't hear 39%. thats just outrageous.
well, I'll be staying put I think. thank goodness for radiators.

Yay, FF's back! Have you started school yet? Indiana schools started yesterday.

I went for a walk tonight in the glen. I'm kinda bumbed, but totally understand them cutting down the invasive species trees. the place isn't nearly as lush as it was when these trees were up. I'd say 40% of the trees are gone. I just hope they are replaced with native specie trees soon.

I thought that no way would there be deer up there now. there's no real hiding places. I was wrong. I so a doe and a fawn up there eating leaves from some bushes. that made my night.

yea I just sat down on a log and must have watched them for 15 minutes. once they saw I wasn't a threat, they just went about eating. its nice to have a taste of the forest this close to my home in the city.
