Yay! Moving this weekend. Wanna help?

[Blueszilla]

Yeah!

The house has a lot of fruit growing in the back! Strawberries, Apricots, Peaches, Some sort of red berry (possibly loganberries), oranges, and a neighbors overhanging fig tree!
I'll be moving over my zucchini, purple & yellow bell peppers, black cherry tomatoes, Virginia Sweets, Rosemary & Basil.

My garden grew three sizes!

Most wonderful! Let us know what you make outta that. And some pics!

I love houses from the 60's and earlier. I love the way the designs were so unique back then.

Can I be somewhat of a Debbie Downer for a minute? Looks like a nice house and a great deal. They eschewed a family for single young people? (assuming their credit was good.)

I'm not jumping to any conclusions, but I heard quite a few horror stories in recent years of guys getting foreclosed on and just renting out the property in spite of that and delaying the inevitable foreclosure until the Sheriff just shows up at your house and locks the doors.

Just want to make sure that doesn't happen to you.

Its all good, and rightful to be cautious. I think the family may have decided to go with a different option, or maybe their credit wasnt any good. That, or they went with us because we were willing to sign a longer lease. We found the house through a listing agency. I dont forsee any issues like you described.

have been up to the fairgrounds there a few times, seems like a nice area. Nice view of the San Gabes.

Looks kinda like the house from the brady bunch....

True. But all I can think about is Workaholics. You're gonna need a ladder, four folding chairs, and a sturdy roof. It also sounds like you need to learn to can fruit. Congrats. Sounds like you landed a sweet place.

Indeed. Luckily this places has a ridiculous amount of storage space. I'll have to get some mason jars! Mmmm peach/apricot preserves...

 

[bluesblaster]

yum !

Looks like a nice pad.

How close to the racetrack are you?

 

[pocketgroove]

Very nice, congrats on the house! It really sounds like a good setup.

 

[MatticusMania]

Looks like a nice pad.

How close to the racetrack are you?

Just over two miles.

The house I grew up in, and moved back to, is just over 4 miles from Irwindale speedway.

If you produce some really hot peppers, I'd be happy to purchase some from you.

some of them bad boys could use some serious pruning

Make sure you check the caulking too.

I'll likely get around to planting some hot peppers. Maybe not really hot peppers, though one of my roomies does enjoy some a lot of heat.

You should PM j-raj (TB mod). He is the resident pepper-growing guru. Seriously.

Sounds like something I should do. Ive only ever grown Mammoth Jalapenos. I'll eventually try my hand at something with some more kick.
