So I bought a house...

Yeah, that. My offer has been accepted and everything, it's just a matter of the inspection, water test, etc. Closing date is May 31, just in time to use that pool. I'll be building a double garage on the lot immediately upon moving in, and the garage will have 12.5 foot ceilings, so I can have a hoist. Definitely a major improvement over the 100+ year old house in the boonies I've just sold...

Here's the listing...

Oh, and before anyone asks: I've been trying for a week to get hold of the guy selling that 20th Cougar, but he's not answering his phone or emails. It's March Break here so he may be gone away...

2100sq ft, that quite a shack... Congrats....
Yeah, it's bigger than I need, but I'm buying it as an investment/retirement nest egg as well as a place to live. Also that 2100 square feet includes both levels plus half the basp00get, so it's really no bigger than a standard 1000 square foot bungalow with a fully finished basp00get. The place I just sold has 1600 square feet with an unfinishable basp00get (it only has 6' ceilings and stone walls, not concrete)

Salt water pool?
Yeah, the pool has salt water, with a chlorine generator. It works by ionizing the chlorine out of the salt (the "chloride" in "sodium chloride"). The chlorine stays "free" long enough to do what chlorine is supposed to do in a pool, then recombined with the sodium and starts the process over again. The pool at the family cottage is set up like this too. It vastly cuts down on the amount of pool chemicals that are needed. Basically you shock the hell out of the pool to open it in spring, then it takes care of itself. The salt is very dilute (not near as concentrated as seawater) and is not consumed. You only need to add a bit here and there to make up for salt lost through water loss (by splash out, back flushing or overflow).
 
Thanks for the congrats, guys. I'm quite excited. Now if only that guy with the Cougar would answer, life would be perfect :D

That's a heck of a nice house, though if it's only 15 years old, why does it have baseboard heating?  Sounds like you'll enjoy the heck out of it.

Because oil is really, really, really expensive here (about $4.50/gallon) and natural gas is not an option anywhere except the richest downtown areas. I might have a heat pump installed though...
