House Update
I didn't get the house with the Perfect Yard. It went to people who I'm pretty sure will not fully appreciate the Yard Perfection they now own, but, hey, that's the way life goes.
I am now looking at a fairly nice house that has a Decent Yard. So, among other things I have to decide if Decent is good enough or if I should hold out for at least Pretty Good. (It does have a good-sized lot, but half of it's in front of the house which, in DebLand is called a Waste of Space.)
And I have decided that I'm definitely looking for a house with interesting architectural detail. Plus, I'm all about the built-ins....
