During this time I was approved for a HUD loan to purchase a traditional stick built home. The only sweat equity I would be
allowed would be some of the finish work like painting and carpet. I could handle the painting but what do I know about carpet or where would I get the expensive tools to stretch a rug.
The other problem I ran into was three nephews, one niece, and their half-brother that were abandoned. Those plus my three children for a total of eight all born between February of
1978 to Febrary of 1982, talk about a ball and chain, but even if I had it to do over I doubt I would have done anything different. During the time from then to now I was on a waiting
list for a house for 12 years. Now my youngest daugther will graduate from high school this spring and is planning to go to college this fall. I guess I can look forward to
grand-children. Latisha has been hanging around the house since she was a rugrat. Now she is only 15 months and seems terrible twos are already here and speeding toward status of curtain
climber. The score is one new living room lamp down and one to go! But ain’t they sweet! If you are still with me now we can get down to how the above design came about.
Below you will find links to pages that attempt to explain that process.
