So Gab (South Gabrielle) What a Cool Street.

History

Sometime in 2006 it will be our fourth year living on So Gab. When we were saving for a house, we want to make sure that it's near Gadsden Park . We finally found this one crack house on So Gab. The house was at its worst shape. Side door was broken in. When the realtor showed us the house, it smelled so bad. Everything about the house was just wrong. Former residents must have left in a hurry. Remnants of rotten food was left rotten in the fridge. Toilet leaked. Anything that could turn a buyer down....you name it..

I heard stories of people saying "Ooh, I fell in love with my first house." Or "I just know I had to have it..." and lots of flowery comments. Not our house on So Gab. But hey, the backyard got potential!! Big trees, live oak...etc. So we convinced ourselves, we can do it.

No Turning Back

Soon, I'll post a pictures of what we when through to get this house liveable. It's not an extreme homemakeover, of course. ABC or HGTV has never showed up wanting for sponsorship. It was just my husband (aka the mule) who worked like a dog to move us in. I helped sometimes but most of the time was too depressed to get motivated.

First day of moving in, Chocolate the dog, peed all over the house. She did that all the time....everytime we moved to a new place. And she kept it up for a week or so.

First day of moving in, we slept like two rocks.

More to come....
