Yall lazy fat people

 Well   the  waterfront  property I loved and  fought for for a YEAR  while my husband  dithered and lied  like a rug is unfortunately in contract to a  Texas couple who will most likely close on it .  ( theyd be CRAZY  not to considering the prices of  everything else out there  - he fact is  I got 250,000 off the price and my husband allowed others to cherrypick our deal by  waiting too long to close the idiot )  

 We didnt get the loan at the last minute because it turns out he  also lied about filing his amended taxes at the beginning of the  loan seeking process and  the bank wouldnt  loan the money when he filed  the amendment literally the day they were issuing the commitment .  

Basically  he was trying to save $27,ooo in taxes and was  too  DUMB  to realize  that  because he didnt CLOSE   a few months ago hed have to pay  2010  taxes too ...  so ANOTHER 30,000  on top of the original 27,000.     

And now we hve no house which was  the bargain of the century  (  and hes realizing it now ,  the fool ) ... but what can I do ?  

This  other house is  actually nicer and larger but theres an accepted offer on it and it too needs a LOT of work .  Well see  if  the first guy can get a mortgage  ( i doubt it considering theres  two feet of standing water in the basement lol...  ) if he cant .,..  were the backup .   I know what to do!  

This house needs  roof work , a new geothermal heating  cooling system ,  insulation , paint ....  but it IS truly GORGEOUS .  

We also  made ANOTHER offer  on THIS  house  .. but its a little small  for us  ( the view is AMAZING  though  .... and were negotiating that ...  but the land here is less than half the first house , the square footage is about half  the first house , the town is  the PITS    even though its  part  of  Southhampton (  the ARMPIT  of Southhampton LOL ) ..and of course the land s totally raw and HAS to stay that way largely  ... so  no horses , hardly any gardening .... only half an acre ....no dock  ,no pool  , no studio  , no garage ... 

a very painterly house though  ...

WOW - looks like a gorgeous location!  Are you trying to buy this place by yourself now, without him?  

 nah  .. I couldn't swing a CAT  Jody  much less  a bank loan lol !!   The reason I never suspected my husband of DOING the things he did is because  we've always known that his Father HAS to come live with us as soon as possible and we MUST have  a far larger house in order to accomodate him .  

So what my husband did sabotaging the great deal we had makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

In terms of our marriage ...  whatever happens his Father  needs a place to come ... and also purchasing a house  is what is fair to ME  and what was promised to me when he proposed .  As a matter of fact  the promised purchase was SPECIFICALLY for the house that he sabotaged .   GRRRR 

Hmmm - and you think its going to stop now?  That's probably just the first promise he'll break to you.  Sounds like you've got yourself into a pickle. 

When I was married to my first husband we had a house under contract and I stopped and evaluated our relationship and decided I couldn't get into a financial contract with him when I knew it wasn't going to work out.  Just couldn't see myself making myself stay in that marriage just for the sake of a house payment.  I got out.  Best thing I ever did... Yes, the house was on the water and would have been worth a fortune later, but it is what it is...

 You definitely have a point there Jody ...but I think the time to reevaluate will be AFTER we buy the house not before  .    I have everything to gain and not much  to lose  from this transaction .  

Hopefully everything will work out just fine . 

No offense taken, the only gardening i do is flowers (perenials)and indoor plants. Sounds like you are having a bountiful crop!!

UGH! My garden this year is HORRID! I lost all zuccini and squash, my cucumbers have decided they want to sleep more often (wont grow) forget the carrots. looks like I may have some watermelon but dang it I have lost it all. My tomatoes are coming in but they are still green...I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure what I am doing wrong. I weed every day, water weekly. I have no clue. Now I had WONDERFUL strawberries this year and would LOVE some raspberries. Maybe I need to move it all around and find better spots.

mulching really helps me Stacey ..both to control weeds and o make the soil retain water and nutrients and stay an even temperature . I just buy plain wood chips ( or chip my own ) mulch from christmas trees i find in the street ....

when i started mulching i REALLY noticed the number of worms in my soil grow exponentially and the crops health and size and productivity also ... and i could use a LOT less water ...

( believe it or not I hardly have to use the hose anymore despite having a lot of containers ) yep I use mu;ch on my containers too ...

the other awesome thing about " perpetual mulch" is U rarely have to weed - U just move the mulch out of the way , plant a row of seeds and weeds mostly dont come up . The mulch also lasts from year to year and keeps your soil VERY soft so U never really have to dig either ... unless U want to dig compost in . ( usually I break down and do that and re- mulch ..but i have a SMALL garden ) . The ONLY way I could EVER manage a huge one is with a 3- 4 inch layer of mulch on the soil yes it REALLY DOES work !

I wished you lived closer so I could get from your garden-LOL since I don't have one.  We do have blueberries and plums!!!  My DS brought us some tomatoes from his garden and they were delicious.

Good luck on your Georgian mansion - I can't imagine what all you could grow on 4 acres....
