#HouseSearch concluded. We bought the place. Followed by coffee with the daughter who managed the sale.

Then the old man gave us the tour, one key at time, showing us his treasures and saying goodbye to all his stuff (he's taking very little).

He was disappointed that his treasured gasoline barrel had rusted through and evaporated long ago.

Unfortunately he absolutely had to demonstrate his blank gun to us that he kept under his pillow, so we're half deaf now.

Arrived, inflating air mattresses for the night. Notary tomorrow.

Old, old house. And barns. Fields. Old junk everywhere. So much work. But it's a chance at finding a home. Are we really doing this?

The very old owner is in the other room, singing a dirge. He will stay for another week.

Bedroom is full of flies because apples were stored here.

Went up north into the "highlands" (Aukštaitija) again and after another thorough look and lots of talking, we signed a preliminary agreement to buy this homestead with all its land, history, problems and promises.

Been freaking out a little, but you gotta go do crazy stuff sometimes to keep life interesting.

If all goes well the sale should complete in about 45 days, so we have some time to prepare.

So we made an offer on this homestead today and negotiated a price.

There's a mandatory wait of 45 days and a lot of paperwork. We are learning about special land use rules and confusing real estate legislation. More questions for the broker. It may yet fall through, so we try not to get too excited.

Probably a crazy idea, but the last crazy idea (living and cruising on a sailboat) worked out pretty well.

Legal stuff gives me headaches though. I'd rather fix stuff.

Viewed the 90 year old house.

The logs are in great shape for their age. It was built well, using only trees felled in winter (dry, no wood boring insects) and maintained since.

The owner, born in 1926, showed us the property and his photo albums. He's been living here for 40 years.

A good barn, a bad barn, sauna, two wells, grain store, beekeeping stuff, loads.

Loads of work, too. Original windows. No shower. The road is noisy. Single phase electricity.

We like it.
