Bought House in Texas

We were diving through the golf course neighborhood and noticed a house covered in vines -- with papers taped to the door.

We bought the foreclosure home that was only 5 years old for $150,000.  It's 1700 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths.  Nice floor plan.  Large fenced yard.  Only a 2 car garage.   It needs some cleanup, but no significant remodeling.     We have room in our budget to make the home more energy efficient -- including installing a PV (photo voltaic) Solar Array.   

Here's the house - and the beginning of the Texas Energy Retrofit project.  The vines need to go as soon as we arrive in the fall.
