Well, it is happening. The old shitter is really ours. I suppose we need a new nickname now that it is almost ours (tomorrow). I think we are hurting the house's feelings with our negative talk. We need a new nickname with a little more encouragement. We need to boost up it's self esteem. Start to give it a little love.
There's a book from the 70s that posits that if you talk to plants, they grow better. We need to start applying this theory to this new house project of ours. No more negative talk. It's got a lot of "potential." It's gonna be beautiful - one day. It's like a pimply teenager. A little awkward, dressed up all funny, squeaky voice, bad manners.
So with that introduction, here are the pics. Squint your eyes a little and imagine something totally different, just the same shape on the outside. All grown up and beautiful.
Oh - and where is it? It's in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis, 5 blocks west of our current house.

Welcome to the two house owner club! I really like your new place. It has a really simple design and looks like previous owners haven't messed with the basic design too much. Plus everything is generous - it looks like it is going to have great open space. Have fun dreaming about what its going to be...
