Today I bought a House

Today is my first day towards settling down. (Yeah right) Ok so I have a home base now. The front yard is a nice size and the back yard is just right. Deep enough to store the trailer and still have room to work on her. Room for a shop. The garage will be big enough for some storage and my car. Not sure where I am going to put the motor cycle yet. I have some project that have to be done before I move in due to my allergies and the rest can wait until I am moved in. All the carpet has to go fortunatley most of that is in the basement.

So sometime this summer it looks like I will have Coutesey parking (if I am home).

Congrats on your new home!! It sounds like a great place from your description.
do you plan to replace the flooring underneath the carpet or just leave it? Carpet is nice but harder to keep clean anyway! =P

Congratulations Michelle!

May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.

... Yee Ha! Just wait until you get to settle in with Sarah. That will be so great. We are happy you found your place and send many good wishes your way, Michelle.

When do you expect to be traveling back home? Any idea yet?

The sense of belonging in a place and being able to to go back to it when the travel part of your life is on hold for periods is very rewarding. Congratulations on the new place Michelle. Pictures?

Playing house is almost as much fun as playing Airstream Best wishes, Michelle, as you begin this new adventure...and, sometime, we may just take you up on that courtesy parking since you've landed in one of our favorite parts of the country! ~G and M

The carpet has to be removed due to my mold allergies. It will be replaced with Bamboo if at all possible.

I did buy in the town of Missoula and I kept my land Greenough as well.
That is going to be my weekend retreat once I get a driveway up to the "house" site. I also have plenty of room for a dry camping rally.

Congrats...and Bamboo is a great choice for flooring. We know there is little chance of you growing up.

Well, congratulations on your new house - which I hope will be a home for however long you need it. No need to "settle down" just enjoy it for as long as it serves your purpose.
