Hello! My name is Meg. My husband and I just moved back to my hometown in the Midwest. I've always loved old houses and knew that one day I would have one of my own. We just put an offer in on an adorable front gable bungalow and I am so excited to start getting my hands dirty! I know I'll learn a lot from this forum.
Interesting fact: I found an exterior photo of a house in Houston, TX, that is almost identical to "our" house!

Re: Hi!
Welcome!
Since there's another house that's almost identical, it might be either a kit house or a plan book house. Definitely worth researching.

Re: Hi!
Thanks for the warm welcome! The sellers officially accepted our offer today, so we are on our way owning this beauty!
I would love to see if it's a kit home. Once I have more extra time on my hands, I'll do some research.
