Hi Devon,
The house will be our private residence, & is called "the prettiest house in Tartu"
by the local residents. My husband, Erik, speaks Estonian & I learnt it for 18 months
when Sam was a baby. We will have an income from the rent of the 3 apartments
that are in the same building as the guest apartment, & as there will be no mortgage
to pay off, Erik won't need to work full time. I don't know yet if he has any political
aspirations, but you never know, he might follow in his grandfather's footsteps &
decide to get involved in the local political arena to see if he likes it or not.

I visited the website of the place in Estonia that Pene directed us to. It is a house originally belonging to the Piip family, returned to them after the last half century of communist rule during which time it was state owned. What an interesting story.
Pene, do you and your husband speak Estonian? What work is he planning to do there? Will he enter politics? Will you run the house as a guest house or use it only as a private residence?
