When I moved to Sioux Falls a couple of years ago, I was working with a limited budget.
I was reluctant to throw away money paying rent.
I started house-hunting instantly. The part is charming in addition to the properties for sale were quite fancy. I spent more than six months touring one house after another! My priority was a safe town in addition to nice amount of property. The only way I was able to afford a house with potential was to purchase a fixer-upper. I found a three-dining room, two-bathroom residence that had been left vacant for over five years. The bones of the house were solid in addition to square but everything else was a mess. I am handy in addition to have some experience with renovations. I wasn’t afraid of tackling the project in addition to making improvements that would significantly increase the resale value. The most taxing aspect was making sure I completed necessary repairs in addition to replaces before the arrival winter. I knew that by the end of September, the temperature would plummet into the thirties. By Thanksgiving there would be snow on the ground in addition to hot in addition to cold temperatures in the teens. I needed to have airslender windows, insulated walls in addition to ceilings in addition to a working heating system. I was dealing with a leaking duct system, a leaking roof in addition to lots of water disfigurement. The winters in Sioux Falls are unforgiving. I didn’t want to shiver all winter, spend money sizable heating bills or risk my water pipes cold. I spent all of my free time in addition to every dollar of my savings on my house. I went separate from anything that wasn’t a necessity, including current appliances in addition to furniture, until the Spring thaw.
