lenore Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Oh I meant to be nosey, How much if you don't mind sharing....Texas is looking better and better everyday.
ArmyofOne Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Oh I meant to be nosey, How much if you don't mind sharing....Texas is looking better and better everyday. It was completely free! Donated by Military Warrior Support Foundation's Homes4WoundedHeroes campaign. They buy, renovate and donate homes all over the country to combat wounded veterans such as myself. All I have to do is live in it for 3 years, pay my utilities, insurance and taxes, and the home is mine free and clear.
lenore Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I am saying this from my heart, I have wanted to contribute to that organization for a long time. I am sending a check tomorrow, because you sir are a proof in the pudding of a courageous young man that has been thru more than most Americans in these conflicts (WAR) and I as a former Vietnam veteran salute you. God Bless the good, hard working people that are in this nation. Kudos to you and your wife, and may you succeed in whatever direction you head. Thank you for your sacrifice, and I hope in my heart your head injuries cause no further pain to you. God Bless our service people whom are under paid and unfortunately not appreciated by the lack of leadership in our Commander in Chief and Politicians that have no respect for America. Thank you Josh.

lenore Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Hey, now project time....Your Ram fits that driveway well. Whats your first mod.?
ArmyofOne Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Morrison family move 2.0! First mod to the house is definitely getting the fence fixed. Its coming apart in a few spots. After that, The 8ft wide gate will be cut in half and hinged at both ends to form a pair of 4 ft gates for access to the backyard with a bobcat or backhoe...just in case. After that, a 12'x12' sundeck off the back patio. From there, who knows?!
ArmyofOne Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 More Pix! ^Living Room ^Dining Room ^Galley Kitchen ^Living Room again (Front door is on your left) ^Master bedroom (HUGE walk in closet. Its the size of a 4th bedroom Beautiful Texas Door ^Garage ^And a welcome home.
lenore Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Looks fantastic. Yea 4 foot gates are better. Put a rolling wheel on the ends and you have great support. As for deck, I only do concrete. Less maintenance and easy upkeep. you could add brick to match the house as expansion joints.
13IS250C Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Very nice. I hope you and your family enjoy many long years there.
