Rapaire - Congratulations; enjoy your house, at least for the first weeks - then you will see that your work will never end. I'm a house owner for 60 years and I'm always harrassed by my wife: Repaint here, a tap to repair there, and when did you mow the lawn for the las time? &c. ... Now the whole electric system must be replaced, since it's 70 years old and growing dangerous, so we live in a construction site again.
But you may sometimes still find time for your books and trumpet ...

Only if you bring your pacifiers.

Why not -- we can kidnap MAG, Jen, Mousethief, Mudjack and Jeannie for the occasion and descend on Rapaire with a couple of dozen square feet of our own!! LOL!!!

I found two that come close in Realtor.com:

Single Family Property, Area: 1450 - East Boise County, Approximately 3.14 acre(s), Year built: 1995, Scenic view, Garage, Central air conditioning, Spa/hot tub, Fireplace(s), Den 5 Bed, 3 Bath
3,990 Sq. Ft. MLS ID#: 98135662

The other is:

Single Family Property, Area: 1450 - East Boise County, Approximately 2.69 acre(s), Year built: 1998, Scenic view, Garage, Fireplace(s), Den, Office. 4 Bed, 3 Bath 3,759 Sq. Ft.
MLS ID#: 98145353. It's actually in Idaho City.

Top listing sounds more like what you describe, but it seems odd to have a duplex out in the boonies. Is it in Boise proper?

SRS (I love this kind of detective work!)

4200 squares? I could have a REAL shop somewhere in that! And I thought my 2000 was pretty good. Heating bills may be 'interesting' in Idaho...but it sounds good!

Isn't Rapaire in Idaho? Hey, I can make it too. Let's have a BIG party. Please set up the coffee pot in a convenient spot. Appreciate it. (And I want the bathroom closest to the music room, please.)

4200 square feet is a tad smallish compared to where you lived when you were the Chancellor of Notre Dame, I suppose, or President of the US. But for most working class Americans that is a pretty generous chunk of residence you got there Rapaire!! Might one enquire what you're paying? Only if it isn't tabu to ask.

Congratulations on a house. Now, a heap o' living.....

At 1:30 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time, today, October 8, 2003, our offer on a house was accepted by the sellers! YES! Before the weather turns really cold I can move out of the cardboard box under the bridge!!

Now we'll have room for my wife's fabric, for her to quilt, for me to sit in a corner and mope, but mostly a place WHERE I CAN PLAY MY TRUMPET AND NOT BOTHER ANYONE except Pat.

No, it's not the one with the pit. Someone else got that one. This one is a tad smallish, with a nominal 4,200 sq. ft, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, two full kitchens (it used to have a downstairs apartment), two fireplaces with inserts, and back yard that looks out onto a golf course (but not where flying golf balls will be a frequent hazard).

What's that? What do you mean, "Now you have to pay for it?" Aw, poop.
