Our Aging Neighborhood

We have been talking about refinancing this old country home and taking out extra money to finance a complete remodel. Before we can do that we need to figure out a few things. Is it worth it? Do we like the neighborhood now? The neighborhood was getting older, but now everyone is selling out and a new younger neighborhood is sprouting up around us. We can hear the neighbor kids when they are out playing and it sounds like there are a lot of kids living near us. Do we want to move into an older neighborhood where there are fewer kids?

I know we will have the grandkids over often so maybe the age of the neighborhood doesn't really matter. I think it does. We need to consider it as we decide what to do.

We have done a lot of work in the past couple weeks. The outside of the house looks so much better. We've been working in the landscaping, and on the house and deck. We had a tractor out here for a couple days and that made a huge difference in the amount of labor required to clear around the trees.

This is a lot of work, but we can see progress.
