17. That sounds like a lovely place.

I'm glad you got things fixed up and can have the peace of mind. It's worth a lot!

I looked for my current place for an eternity because I was looking for something very specific. I needed it rural, but still close enough to the city to be able to get there when needed, and I needed something unrestricted so I'd be able to have the cat sanctuary. I didn't want to have to deal with a well. A septic is enough worry!!! LOL

When I finally found this property, it all fell into place. I converted a cat barn into a heated and cooled area for the cats. That opens up into a catio area that was formerly horse stalls. That, in turn, opens up into a large covered kennel area under a bunch of oak trees. The house on the property fit the human needs, and the owner accepted the offer. I'm about 30 minutes from downtown San Antonio.

The termites have had me stressed. A pest control guy that I've used before is scheduled for next Thursday. We'll see what he says. I will happily take you up on your offer to ask questions about things. Not that you know termites, but sometimes there are structural questions, etc. that go along with everything else. Appreciate the offer!
