Recently, some friends told us about their new house plan. They have a place out in the country on which they've been wanting to build a home, but after one thing or another kept arising, they weren't able to and were forced to move into town for a while. Until they bought a school building. This school building is quite nice though. With two large, open classrooms on both ends, a bathroom and an office in between them, they make for a great open floor plan for a house. It sounded interesting when we heard about the building and it turned out that there were more for sale.
After much thought and prayer, we bought two of them.
One will be my house and the other will be my pet boarding building, with better facilities for the business. For example, the "boarding building" has the two classrooms and two bathrooms, instead of an office. That leaves plenty of room to expand my services. I'm not sure what all I'll end up doing, but I am toying with the idea and considering baths and nail trims.
We have a piece of pasture land right by the highway and set both buildings there. Now clients won't have to drive so far into the middle of nowhere to leave their pet(s) in my care, it'll be easier to see, and all around better for my growing business.
There is still a ton to do, like hook up water and electricity, setup a septic system, cleaning, remodeling, etc. before I can get moved in and settled, but it'll be an amazing adventure full of learning new things and expanding.
