House Hunting in The D

We've been house hunting in Detroit (the city... not a suburb)

for 13 months now & have seen over 50 houses. Now we're

currently in the process of buying one... but there's lotsa ducks

that still have to line up. (to coin a corny phrase... hee hee)

Walking through all these bits of history has taught me more

about Detroit, then & now. I've learned lots from our friend,

Tim, who's basically a walking Detroit-Housing-Historian.

Thanks, Tim!

As frustrating as "house-hunting" can be, it serves to enrich

my understanding & love of Detroit!

Here's a tiny sampling of the many interesting things we've seen.

(I've taken an average of 30 pics per house. That's 1500 pics.

Most are deleted, but I saved a few.)

(historic but poorly functioning kitchen)

(elevator, built in 1920's)

(Missing furnaces, water heater, copper pipes)

(bathrooms with nothing in them)

(historic beauty... and secret rooms!)

(Remains of a kitchen in a 5 yr. old house)

(If only the inside reflected the same care as the

outside of this showed)

We continue to pray for GOD's plan...

not our's!
