As of yesterday, we reached the one month until departure from our old house, to our new house! Our old house is a, quite frankly, delapadated 1973 Nashua trailer. Looks like hell on the outside, but nice and homey on the inside, but honestly, after 50 years, falling apart. Leaks and such. Besides, though we owned it, we were sick and tired of paying someone else a lot fees every month. We wanted our own home, own it, and owe no one else. After 16 years if scrimping and saving, (and that isn't easy with a film hobby, hee hee) that dream is coming true. We will be moving into a built in 2006, brick home, and it even has 5 empty lots behind it, that will be ours! So far, we have about 60 or more percent of our house packed, a good start, we won't be behind the proverbial "8 ball". Still, I am already going thru our old digs, and getting nolstalgic. All of our kids, having grown up here so far. My wife and I's first home. ECT.

Congratulations, Osi and family, this will be great for all of you. Will you have enough room for a backyard screening? It would be great to see pictures of before, your old place, and after, new home if you choose. -
Osi,
This is very exciting! All the best to you and your family as you move into your new home. I'm sure we all expect to see a new post from you in the Screening Room Photos section soon.Comment

I'd love to have the room for a private screening room, but I think I will wait on that, but I will post some photos of the "before/after". With those 5 empty lots attached to the property, there will be a lot of room for backyard projections! I've been working out ideas for the framework for a deluxe screen, with some light wood framework, a nice clean silk sheet, and easy enuf to store in the garage!Comment

Fantastic, Ossi !Comment

Congratulations Osi, your new home looks beautiful. There is absolutely nothing like owning your own home and I have no doubt that the struggle to buy one will be well worth it for you and your family. And how great that you now have a film room!Comment

That's about two thirds of the collection. The other third is on "cold storage", as in optical sound, potential fade or already a little faded. I love my man cave! A room for me! The best thing is that we paid cash. No mortgage! Now, where are those rare features I have always wanted? I'll finally be able to snatch them up! Many thanks for your help, Doug!Comment

Osi paid cash for his house! He must have sold a print of the original Star Wars!
Seriously though that is an amazing accomplishment by Osi and his family, no 30 year 7.5% mortgage, just sit back and enjoy it all!Comment

Congratulations, Osi. As already mentioned here, it is a great feeling to buy a home and not have a mortgage for the next 30 years of your life. I have done the same thing myself and I am very proud to have been here four years in a prepaid home.Comment

I'm so very happy for you Osi. I wish you and your family much joy and happiness in creating memories in your new home.Comment

We have an enormous backyard, not pictured, and it's going to be two thing. A butterfly Haven, complete with lovely wildflowers blanketing the whole thing, with Milkweed around all the edges, lots of Monarch butterflies around these here parts, and in meantime, I will start our orchard in the midst of it, but that will take years. One thing that people who have owned a regular home don't realize they have, and we now have, is space! In our old home, a 1972 Nashua trailer, we lived in a trailer park, with neighbors, on all sides, only about 6 feet away. There was always too much noise and no privacy. The quiet at night now, is just heavenly!Comment

Congratulations Osi. It looks great and has so much potential and no mortgage problems. Enjoy. Ken Finch.Comment

Enjoy that lovely new home Osi. Just not so much that you don't want to sit in the dark watching your films.
