We do have snow and some tough winters, but others have been mild. My sisters and I have agreed on a reasonable price, but will wait for the appraisal, so it may go down, and they agreed on that, in order for me to buy them out. I also talked to city hall, and I will have to go through a zoning change procedure. I am ok with that, as I see it as a sign if I should be doing this or not. If I don't get the zone permit, then I will not buy the house. Thanks for all of your input, and I will keep everyone updated. Quilting is not a hobby to me, it is my passion, and I would be so blessed to be able to follow my passion.
