A little history of The Ugly Lake House. I decided that if I wanted to stay in Michigan that I would have to live on lake and this lake must be attached to other lakes. I may or may not have a short attention span.
The fall of 2010, my sister Amy began showing me houses around the Portage Chain of Lakes. For those not familiar it's north of Ann Arbor in Hamburg. Yes I did say, "Ham"burg.
After looking at a few other places, Amy showed me The Ugly Lake House. After a brief tour we walked out and I laughed at the mushroom shaped structure. She tried to point out all the "potential" the place had but I just wasn't seeing it. As you will soon see it’s a little bit of train wreck.
A few days passed and I had given it some more thought. I decided to take a couple of my friends to the house and get some feedback. Bryan and Roy both said it "may have some potential and would need a ton a work".
After much internal debate I decided to put an extremely low offer in. Apparently someone else had the same thought and I was out bid. The Ugly Lake House was out of my life. So I thought…

| Signing my life away! |
In January of 2011 the house came back on the market, my offer was accepted, inspections were completed, and I finally closed on March 28th, 2011! Hopefully the "potential' is there.
