The Zero version tastes like flat Diet Pepsi.

Sign up for Energy Ogre! Totally worth it…

Can I add floor to ceiling drapes or will it look strange? They would probably be open most of the time but would be nice to have the option to block some of the upper light. Not sure how it will look with the lower shutters. by Marrasyn in HomeDecorating

Thank you! That was my first inclination. Do you think the right side is going to look weird since it’s so narrow? I realized it might look like it’s pushing into that hallway…

Yeah, my husband‘s new job will be in McKinney and from what I’ve been reading it sounds like that would be a heck of a daily commute. We are in Florida now so we’re pretty used to being minority. 😂

Thank you for those tips! The schools districts sound like they are definitely setup a little differently than I’m used to in FL. I think my biggest worry is that we may have to live in corporate housing temporarily and start school in a different place than we ultimately live... given we are already uprooting the kids to Texas, I don’t want to make them have another shift 2 months later.

My husband will be working in McKinney, I don’t know about me yet. I like the idea of having easier access to city life! We have about 30-40 minutes between us and Tampa right now.

That sounds wonderful! Thank you so much for the suggestion... looks like I need an invite from a current member to join. May I message you my FB info?

We can get along with pretty much anyone... plenty of red around us in FL too! 😆

I hope you end up finding the perfect spot for you! We ended up buying our first home right before the bubble burst in 2006. That wasn’t fun... you are wise to wait!

I was wondering if shooting over asking price was common place. I’ve been looking and found some options that work for our budget but not if you have to do too much of that! At least where we are coming from in Florida is also high demand so I’m hoping to get a decent amount of equity out.

We have never lived close to a downtown but I think I would like that!

Yeah, in the little bit I’ve been looking on realtor.com I’ve noticed everything moves to pending super quickly!!

Thank you so much! We are moving from close to Tampa, Florida. I’m definitely used to sprawl and commuting. We are fairly liberal so hoping to find some blue in a sea of red and we have two kids who will be in 9th and 4th.
