Bought a house!
Noyzee and Nautilus, you may begin the bidding war on my new HVAC system!!
So after 1.5 years after moving, I FINALLY bought a house on Friday! It’s in Southwest Dallas area, and I’ll be about 17 miles from work and 15 miles from downtown dallas! Some highlights are that its 1841sq ft, built in 1975. It’s a brick exterior, gas powered fireplace, central air, covered pato, natural gas grill, double oven, and had a wrap around driveway with a 2 car garage PLUS 2 car carport! My focal point when house hunting was to find a house with a wrap around driveway so as to keep my loved ones out of the eyes of those who may wish to do harm to them. The carport will provide shelter from the sun when car washing, as well as protect any tertiary vehicles that I will eventually aquire. This will serve to satisfy my car hobby for the time being (until I need to build a 3rd bay with a lift!!).
Here are a few pictures. I will send out more pictures of the interior once it is furnished and the garage is fixed up. (these pictures were taken over the course of 3 months, so that is why the grass is green in some pics, but dead in others).

I'll give you a bid for the HVAC... but you might not like the travel expenses
