Well, I'm just about all settled in. I've completely renovated one of the rooms and made it look brand new. Picking up all my appliances today, and only have the electrical and a small bit of plumbing left to repair (hobo junkies tore out all the copper piping and some of the electrical). By time I'm done this old house will look brand new, modern home.
The drive up here was insane. I really don't know how I didn't drive off one of the mountainsides or something crazy (a few semi-trucks did). The entire way up was sleet, snow, and solid ice roads. This didn't help that I was hauling a 7000 pound trailer with all our junk in it. When I weighed in at base before leaving and the gross weight of my durango with the trailer was over 11,000 pounds. What normally used to take me little over half a day's drive in the summer while cruising in my trans am took us three days, having to stop at hotels because the roads were so bad at night. I managed to get us up here with everything in tact and no (but almost like 5) accidents. Never doing that again unless I'm getting paid. =P
I really do miss everyone down in North Carolina. I made an awesome group of friends down there. I don't know anyone up here in Michigan anymore. On the bright side all my family is up here and they've been mad helpful getting us set up in my new place. They even gave us all our appliances for free and helped with some repairs. Once summer comes around and I've really set anchor I'll get around to finding more friends up and, and I'm definitely going to try staying in contact with ya'll down south. =3
There's a lot to be done, but I'll manage.

Yeah, I paid 7K for it and estimating the cost of the one room it should only cost me another 5K to completely turn this house around and make it a 80k house. Just wish city bums hadn't torn out the copper plumbing and electrical. That was a pain to fix. >.<
