I have recently purchased a 392 Sq Ft ( 14� x 28�) store front shop in the small town of Linden Indiana ( population 892 ) . I was built in approximately 1903 it has served as a shoe repair shop , a veterinary clinic , a pet grooming shop , a plumbing service office and as an antique shop. I am in the process of making the necessary modifications to make it a livable home. I am 27 and single and have simple needs. My father has been an avid diy �er having recently added a 14 x 20 kitchen to his own home from the ground up.
He was his own designer , excavator , framer ,plumber, electrician , roofer , and finish carpenter. While assisting I decided a small inexpensive home would be the way to go.
Three weeks ago I purchased this little shop for $9000.00 . We have located small house furniture and appliances that few people have ever seen. An antique Murphy bed that folds to the space of a fire place mantel , A butterfly table that folds to 12� x 36� and stores 4 nice wood chairs inside itself . My crown jewel of the kitchen is my combination sink , stove and refrigerator that comes as a single appliance 24� x 32�
Our current project is to install cabinets , a new shower and up grading the plumbing. I was very fortunate that the electrical service was updated well and the roof is in excellent repair.
I have pictures taken on day one and some updated photos of work in progress. If I have made the correct contact I would be happy to send them. If there is a better contact to be considered as a project I am in hopes you can contact me with that information.
Dad and I are trying to complete as soon as practical so time is of the essence to see it in its current condition. I would really like to send a message to young singles that home ownership need not be a 2400 sq ft home and an $ 800 � $1000 per month house payment. With a little sweat equity and ingenuity you can have a very comfortable and very affordable home on a very modest budget.
With sincere thanks,
R.Scott Henry
The letter above was sent to the TV show this small space by my son 2 years ago when we rehabed his little store front cottage. Thought you might find it interesting. Bob
