Bidding War

February 15, 2019By MaverickHouse

I am typing this post Feb 15th 12:26 am.  A home buyer and his associate just left.  Last week I signed the paperwork to sell my house, and I started a bidding war between 2 different home buyers.  I did not know these guys were so serious about real estate.  I just did the paperwork … Read More

Where will I live?

February 14, 2019By MaverickHouse

I had a slow start this morning.  I woke up way too early, finally fell back asleep and didn’t eat breakfast until around 9am.  After a couple of pancakes, I checked out Mule Expedition Outfitters in Issaquah, WA.  If my house sells next month, I am going to need a place to sleep.  I am … Read More

Change is a coming

February 13, 2019By MaverickHouse

also, change can be very profitable.  I have been collecting change for my entire life.  I remember kids throwing change at me in junior high, and collecting it.  The kids finally quit throwing change at me once they realized that I was making between $3 and $5 per day. Whenever money gets tight, I would … Read More

A slow day

February 8, 2019By MaverickHouse

I had a slow start today, I don’t feel like I accomplished that much.  I went to Costco midday and purchased some plastic bins, some water, a full tank for the truck + 5 gallons just in case, and lunch.  So many people were complaining about the lines in stores today, I apparently got lucky.  … Read More

Where do I begin

February 7, 2019By MaverickHouse

Many people tell me that the stories I tell, that the life I live, the places I go, the things I do, are fascinating to hear about. I have been trying, unsuccessfully I would say, for many years to find my niche. I don’t feel like I have figured out how to convey my emotions, … Read More

My House

October 22, 2018By MaverickHouse

How much have I mentioned about my house on my blog?  I’m not sure.  Well, near as I can figure, it was built in the 1890’s.  There is newspaper glued to the wall, that I found underneath 7 other layers of wallpaper, from 1898.  Its crazy to see an advertisement that says “3 pairs of … Read More

Buried Treasure

October 20, 2018By MaverickHouse

Today I was doing some digging underneath my house.  I found another medicine bottle today.  I was inspired to share with you some of the other cool things that I have found.  I know a few of the bottles broke while I was shoveling dirt, but I have a pretty cool collection going.  Now the … Read More

My Winter Abode

October 13, 2018By MaverickHouse

I am sitting here, at a loss for subject matter.  I was going to write up a little blog with photos/videos of the gardening work I have been doing for the past 2 weeks.  I had to put that plan on hold because its currently in the mid 40’s temperature wise.  My house is from … Read More
