Wanted: A Home With Good Bones

Irma Breakfield and Scott Merritt sold their home before they had time to secure another one. A family friend took them in until they had time to regroup, but they are now ready to begin house hunting. They are looking for a house with three spare bedrooms--one for their two children, one to use as an office and one for overnight guests. They probably won't find every item on their list, but as long as the home has good bones, they will be satisfied. Merritt is a general contractor, which means the couple can stretch their budget by doing all their own repairs. Realtor Joey Paige accepts the challenge of helping them find a house that meets their needs.
