La Casa Lewandowski

Mr. and Mrs. Lewandowski have just signed the lease on their new house!
La Casa Lewandowski
After a week of trying to track down the woman who is moving out so that we could look inside, we have now seen it and liked it! So, tonight we signed the papers and on September 1, we are the tenants of a 3BR 2Bath home in the Sauce Neighborhood (pronounced sow-say here!) The front of the house is currently painted a cute pink color. (seen above in flaking pink) They are re-painting in September and we get to choose the color. I vote for pink. We'll see... I just figure that this may be the only house in my lifetime that will be pink.
This is one of the smaller bedrooms.
We're working out a deal on buying the appliances from the previous tenant!
The house has many perks. There are 4 air conditioners in the house and ceiling fans throughout, so we will be able to stay cool inside. In addition, our big backyard is also home to a small shed-size building known here as the maid's quarters. Inside, there is room for a bed and dresser, there is a shower and toilet, and an air-conditioner. We don't plan on getting a live-in maid right away, but it's nice to know we have a place for her if we need it!
We've already found our guy to mow the backyard- his name is Leonardo.

In front of the house, we have a big covered terreza and 2 stalls for parking cars. Since we don't have a car down here, we'll be able to turn that entire space into a tropical outdoor living room- complete with handmade Honduran wood chairs and hammocks!

Our dog (we get to find one soon!) will have plenty of space to frolick and play. Tonight when we went to look at the house, 6 teenage boys were playing street soccer out front. Happy Honduras!

In the new house next time the toilet clogs instead of the maid fixing it you will have to call Handy Manny and his trusty toolbox He speaks Spanish!!!!!
See Disneychannel.com or just ask Allie or Jessie how Handy Manny can fix it even better than Bob the Builder- We miss you Uncle Tommy and "Green" (Jessie's name for Karine when she was too lazy to learn the right way) Love, the Lewandowski girls- Allie, Jessie, Megan, Kirsten and Daddy Doug too.

Looks like a nice place. I think I've seen it before. There is just something extremely funny about "La Casa Lewandowski."

Okay... I'll be the maid (if I don't have to wear the outfit)
