Our Decision… ?
We've thought carefully and decided on a place to live…
House #1
House #3
House #2
Which one will it be?

11. House #3!!!
We chose house #3, because of its 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it's newly renovated, there's yard work provided, and its location was something we originally weren't thrilled with but decided was worth it.

12. Why we didn't choose the other houses
This house was way too small and although we liked the location, having only 1 bathroom and such a small house just wouldn't do it
This house was in a good location and was brand new, but the bad layout and 1 bathroom made us decide this wasn't for us

13. It's a wrap!
