| More Information..... :) Ok, here goes..... I worked at an elementary school for 13 years - same school two locations. At the "old school" we had pea gravel instead of grass - and occasionally the pea gravel wound up swallowed, in ears and up noses (go figure). At the "new school" we had wood chips -- the kids wound up with lots of splinters. We would have rather had nice green grass, however, grass wouldn't withstand the wear and tear of playground activity of 500+ kids every day. My personal opinion -- buy the house if you like it, have the chips removed and get some nice natural sod. Once again, I feel like you are to be commended for doing your homework and being so concerned about the health and safety of your furbutts. GOOD LUCK in finding that perfect new home! |

| Yes I think you are right.....I was thnking Astro turf ( I still have to look into it). as I can see it "now" the house might/will work.....the porch has to go(cosmetically ) and the wood chips will have to go. But those are the only things that are really bugging me. Subject to a home inspection of course. The area is beautiful and the veiw from the house is great......but it needs a lot of cosmetic renovating (not falling apart). To bring it up to my specifications or more salable going forward. I decided to wait till Thursday to make a final decision on offering a bid and then I want them to go lower so I may have to wait another week before I bid(you know that negoiating thing). The less attention they get the better my chances . Tina |
