  1. Isn’t 35,000 alittle high for that? Haven’t we seen some brand new houses for that price occasionally?
    After seeing the 70-something thousand McTiny in this newsletter it puts this house to shame. Ugh!

  2. Tried to e- mail Cathy but it said address was invalid….
    ?? How do I contact her or have her contact me?
