See, the forums have embraced your family. At least one member of your family has Sakhir as a pen pal, and you have me. You got the rotten end of that deal, but beggars cannot be choosers can they now?

Fortunately for you, I believe a few others have embraced you as friends, which helps even out the deal a little on your side.
You're on for the excavator date when the ground isn't frozen again!

I think the blue (purple)room occupant is still shy about contacting Shakira. I passed along his email address to the parents who's child tutor mine in weird shit weekly since they don't teach physics in the fourth grade here because they wanted to send their thanks for inspiring their kid too. I don't think they did tho, we finns are weird. As odd as it sounds, this forum is a tight community and people like you know just how protective I am of my family but also, how willing I'm to share them.

This project is so different from anything I've ever done previously. I was supposed to buy an other house last spring when my aunt called me for help. The street view pic is missing a line of those over grown bushes since those were taken down by wind. I took my kids in the evening to help her out and she thought my kids would like to see the house.

I was a weekly visitor there when I found out I had a great aunt in the 90's. The former occupant, Kaarina, is the one my first born is named after since she was the only positive female role model I had while growing up. While we were walking around the house filled with stuff, my first born told my aunt she really doesn't want to move in the house I was buying. "This is my room. If you won't sell this house to my mom, wait ten years and I'll buy it."

A week later the aunt called and asked me if I was interested. I told her straight away I'd take it but that I would need a month or two to finance it. I'm no stranger to debt but it became clear Finland and banks don't work at summer time.

It's ugly as fuck from the outside. The interior is filled with stuff since my aunt used it as a storage ever since her mother died 16 years ago. If you ever need a 19th century book or newer, I'm your source. I have so many boxes of handmade lace in my hands nobody besides me spends time drooling over them.

Then there is the furniture and the hundreds of years of history around it. It is next to a viking burial grounds owned by my relatives. I get to wake up every day in two weeks surrounded by our civil war, our ancient history, the trees that are older than people I can name, hell I named my fuse box so it would feel he (he has a temper...) still has a place. I can't make myself put any bathrooms in the old side of the house since they'd mess with the flow of the place.

I am in the process of updating my will. Only my kids can buy others out from it, but it has to remain in the family. My lawyer kindly told me there is no way of doing that if I won't do open houses and make it a museum so...

I guess I'm going to live in a museum soon. I'm willing to take the financial hit but I truly want that piece to have a life beyond my own, beyond my kids. I want all it to show. This will be my last home. When I'm in a grave I want to know I left my mark to something that's pretty fucking epic.
