5:30 am
5:31 am
to their house so the transition would be easier when she. you know to help my dad with. my sisters or have kids and it was harder for them to you know pick up and move. in with your parents. you know ok there. perry. this is my little house the green one right there. i love my little house wish i was here. i bought this house in two thousand and two when i was in construction but my motorcycle when i was in construction my car when i was in construction. yeah i could have done this with. that
5:32 am
seven hundred fifty square feet it's a duplex somebody else owns the other side they used to call it the little doll house it was always clean i had nice things and then when you lose a job making eighty thousand dollars a year. you know your options are either to keep it and struggle or let it go and i chose to to run. she was just out of her apprenticeship when i met her and i was fascinated that she was doing this job as i didn't know i mean i watched flashdance back in the eighty's. and i didn't know too many women who got into the trades and succeeded and work cept in. i was bartending and one day somebody so want to apply in the trades the trades like yeah you know. so i went. to all the trades i went to electricians pipe fitters sprinkler fritters
5:33 am
. i remember when she got into the. they gave you a booklet to study over for the test and she must have studied that thing for. a test to test and i started may eighth two thousand for the sprinkler for years. i thought i'd died and went to heaven i'd never made their kind of money in my life i've never had insurance. i couldn't make the doctor's appointments like oh my god i have insurance. and i remember what working on these scissors left you know to people attach screws and fittings on the hangers to put the sprinkler as women in the trades generally don't make it very far if you do it because you have tough skin and you have to be because a lot of those guys will razz you you know what i mean they don't feel women should be doing their job it was spawned i had a lot of fun it was a busy time we were consistently and then in two thousand and eight it dropped
5:34 am
everything. and i got laid off in december of two thousand and eight when they started hiring back they just didn't call her back for whatever reason a younger stronger man could do probably more then you know a fifty year old woman is probably what a lot of them think but it's tough it's tough to go back i thought for sure that i would be able to retire in that field. i think the. it's my fear fear is of not making enough to be able to keep. you know the things that i have. because it takes a lot on a house. i bought the house in two thousand and two for ninety five thousand. and now i'm underwater on this mortgage. or someday i'll be back.
5:35 am
coming she's worked up. to today's christmas think will see what it actually fixed . jose and elizabeth have signed a contract on a two hundred sixty nine thousand dollar house in a county where the median home price is much higher when i told my parents that me and jose are planning to get a holiday you know we've saved enough money they told me that if we could find a place that was big enough for them to move in with us that would help them a lot and so we did that all checkups there is now. i think we did things backwards
5:36 am
we started looking at houses and getting really eager and looking at all these nice houses with all the things we had on our checklist that we've meaning and are getting along without even going to a letter asking can we have full can we afford. the couple has prequalified for a special mortgage program for low income individuals if approved their downpayment will be as low as three percent. of. all we have right now as our downpayment. in the one month's one want of a mortgage payment. what we'll do is we'll come back a couple days before and make sure that it actually did everything good clothes and do the paperwork and you get the keys that day which is very good there get in there before the holidays and start building some memories. scared. it's big purchase. yeah one of the
5:37 am
biggest purchases we have is a home. so therefore. by your feel better after you started from when to say this is my house you know i wouldn't take that away from. a stove or a surrogate he was not mine not my property or. we would have been no no it's not a perv. or something happened to one of the company i work for goes bankrupt and then we were in a house that would campaign. i don't feel comfortable going outside of our spending limit although it is easy to enlist emery county oh my goodness it's just like i said it's just the zip code good adds another twenty thousand dollars. in two thousand and ten the cost of living in montgomery county was thirty percent higher than the national average and was the tenth wealthiest counties in the u.s.
5:38 am
. but want to live in the county were born and raised in. families up here. i don't know any other place. jose and i went to twelve here in montgomery county went to great schools we met my cousin introduced me to or on facebook. i knew she was prudent and i knew she liked star wars me being a nerd sent a picture of the guy with the stormtrooper helmet on looking at how much a creature can prove you know she's all this is really awesome you know i could give you whatever sauce are cool you know kind of in there oh my look here's a virtual hug we can share this looking back at us like. i was a virtual. who's they started talking to me on facebook. let's be honest in this one sex the guy was hot i got that he's very good looking guy. is very lucky. the first date came up my cousin they were like go there don't

5:40 am
room. so. that made me change my mind. we need this house. i barely have a lot of probably one job. i'm giving them everything they want as far as i'm very accustomed to so great teamwork and no performing well but it's not a matter new to. there's all these guidelines they said. but man is moving pick and choose who they want to enforce to galvanise on. for an example but alas like more than i have as many will recall the sea cargo walkers have to have on the bottom floor you know all the heat was up stairs with
