Home Search Continues

Yes, good luck finding the perfect place. I would love to move to Montana but it's just not feasible for me. I don't mind living in Eastern Washington but am kind of concerned about what is in store for the entire state with the power that King county holds over the state.

I am enjoying this thread, it's almost like looking for a place for myself.

I’m waiting for the home in Fortine to drop below $500K. I think it’s overpriced now. I’m taking a chance no one will bid on a home 20 miles from Canada. It is in the middle of nowhere yet is near a couple hundred people.

I have PTSD and can’t live in a remote place without going off the deep end. I made a promise to a dozen other Vietnam Veterans I would not withdraw from society and must not break that promise.

I had a difficult time today remembering events and broke down and wept for a couple hours. I regret some of the things I did in Vietnam with every fiber of my being.

I’m okay now.

Understood.

Looking is fun. Not finding anything isn’t.

King, Snohomish and Pierce counties rule the state. With people moving from the cities and going to rural areas that might change. This is how federal house seats changed after the 2020 census.

Agree with everything Dave says, particularly that we are enjoying this thread. It’s almost like doing a home search in Montana vicariously through Sir Henry’s search. Thanks for taking us along.

Everything is cool. Anything can trigger me.

Edit: now that I think about it it was a doctor visit to the VA Hospital that triggered me. It was something the doctor said. You would not normally link what she said as being a trigger. Like I said anything can do it.

This one just came on the market and I like it. It seems to be priced right and I like Great Falls.

How do you get to the sink?

They are both nice! Seems like you would have to hire a window washer for the one in Great Falls.
The other is nice as well, but, good question regarding the sink???

Yeah that sink position would be a deal breaker if the seller refused to fix it.
But maybe they reduced the selling price by $100,000 because of it.

I’m thinking it might just be a temporary home for me. I want out of this cesspool they call Seattle.

Cannot blame you one bit...good assessment! Considering recent past. Adios,

Here is another version of a listing in my last post with a link. It appears that large face of mostly glass flexes in the wind. I caught it in the “information” on this link.

Not enough wood for you in that one and looks like there would be some up keep there one might not care for. Nice view. I wonder why people build homes like this and then want out. Where are these people moving to.

[GeoBoy]

Gene, nice home but a lot to clean and maintain. Do you really want to maintain 8 acres?

That big south wall of mostly glass flexes up to seven inches in high winds. It is not to code. The entire wall needs to be redesigned and replaced.

This may sound strange but I enjoy vacuuming and dusting. Especially in the winter. Land I can mow down it’s out buildings that I don’t want to care for.

Do note the size of the tractor and rotary cutter in the shop. maybe it could be included in the sale….
What a view tho…..

So I imagine the guy who has that house is selling it because he doesnt want to spend the money on it to fix the flexing windows. Im sure that would cost a few bucks.

They had an estimate of $27K to fix it. I’m thinking more like $227K. It has major design problems. I think the owner is scared to be in the house during high winds.
