Let the games begin...

So on October 5th I went to the St. Lawrence County Tax Sale and bought a house sight unseen for $5,500. In retrospect I should have probably looked at the house before bidding but the yuppie couple who bid on it were running up the bids on properties all day and I thought I would return the favor. After being outbid on properties all day I was in a state of shock when I finally got the winning bid especially since it was on a house I had never seen. After walking through my new "house" I decided that I was definitely in for an adventure. The house is at the end of a dead end road across the street from a paper mill and a railroad repair yard. My plan is to fix up the place and sell it but I pretty much have no clue what I am doing when it comes to home repair so comedy is likely to ensue.
