As many of you know my wife and have been living apart these past ten months and we are about ready to sell the house on Rowan. That is almost complete and buyer just has to sign the title agreement and it’s hers. We think we have found our place outside Cheney and Airway Heights which are towns outside Spokane. It’s 4.5 acres with a mobile home, a barn in the back, a shop, and unused pasture that will eventually be mine and Stephanie’s new home, either a modular or conventional house.
Our realtor told us the zoning rules and yes we can have another residence but it can only be no more than 800 square feet, but we can add upward, meaning a second story. There are other issues related to this and we are free to petition for an exemption. It still isn’t a for sure thing, but if we can make it work so be it. In the interim her daughter, children and husband will inhabit the mobile home, which is a nice sized double wide, though it’s a bit old: 1976. My wife and I agreed to live in a camper and the truck camper until our house is built hopefully in the following year.
