Well, we went and looked at the house in Folcroft today. It was certainly somewhat less than perfect, but after a few hours messing around with the IKEA home design software - I was actually convinced that it might actually work for us.
Then, this evening, we got an email from Iris (the realtor, and Melissa's sister-in-law) saying that the previous quote for mortgage payments that we got was actually flawed - the result of a system malfunction that occurred during a lighting storm. So instead of the payment being $540, it would actually be $872 a month. The former would be $110 less than we're currently paying for rent. The latter, $222 more. Sigh. That would be a real stretch even before we took on the added expense of a dog and her upkeep.
So it appears that we're going to be hanging out in our current shack for a while longer. The good news is that at least having Jessie around has seemed to improve relations with our neighbor. Silver lining. Or something.
