  Yes, we're going to take a walk through it in a few weeks. I've never been in all the bedrooms or the basement, so who knows if we'll even want to buy it after taking a closer look.   At least I know they moved not...

Well, it looks like nobody has too much of a problem with our buying the neighbor's house, which is good.    As far as the financial obligations of owning two houses for a period of time, that is something we are going to...

FWIW, we really like our Trac phones. DH and I are not big cell phone users, but we do use them sometimes. I budget $12.20/month for them, and that includes BOTH phones. Best of luck paring down!
