Rented at first, then purchased from Ray Vandersluis' mom. She gave us an exceptionally good deal because we taught at the Christian Schools. I think it was $80k. We severed the two halves, after some fighting with City Hall, and sold them for about $61K each. This got us into home ownership.

With a Postma-- not Steve, I think. Nice guy. Notes here Wonder what he's doing now? He was a good worker and showed me some of the ropes. I remember the first time we carried a new windows from the truck, it was too heavy for me-- we gripped it with gloves on the sides-- and I had to put it down for a second. I didn't know that putting it down on the concrete would destroy the "seal". Cost Ron Stronks a pretty penny, but he was pretty reasonable about it.

We obtained the dog from Otto at LHCS, nice guy. After a time, we found the kids couldn't really handle him and he chewed up everything in the back yard. Besides, he peed every time I just looked at him and opened my mouth-- so we brought him to the pound sometime early 1998. Sadly.
