We Didn't Like Ike!
Comments (4)I was following your location and thinking of you, just like I was with our family in Houston. In actuality, there were more deaths from Ike in the Midwest than in Texas. My DD, just up the road still doesn't have power and had to borrow our g'house emergency generator to kick on her freezer because it won't hold cold forever. We had nearly 80 mph winds here and have sustained a four figure damage to our property (grounds, not house) and we'll be cleaning it up for weeks. No rain, however. But the traffic lights on the major shopping artery in town are still down and roads blocked because of fallen wires....See MoreWe didn't have accommodations like this when I was in college!
Comments (30)newdawn1895 - Not only in the downtown areas, but the art district and the Riverview districts are all undergoing fabulous transformations. Chattanooga is such a neat town. I wish I had taken a photograph of my sons street. The avenue was absolutely beautiful! Most of the houses and yards were well kept, and the flowering trees were gorgeous hanging over the street. :) golddust - First of all, I wanted to tell you how much I love your dog. What a cutie! Secondly...what a tub! I love large old tubs like the claw-foot that my son has. I asked the guys if either had taken a bath and they answered "no" because they were using the tub as a storage place for their bathroom supplies. Now that we have provided a space saver tower over the toilet, the tub is now free for bathing. LOL You are so lucky to have many of the original features, like the built-ins. Your kitchen appliances are tops! I would love to know the date that my son's place was built, and also the history. Guess I'll have to ask the owners....See MoreWe made an offer! - And a list of those we didn't buy ;)
Comments (21)Ladynimu, we are at the tail end of our process (closing on our purchase next Thursday!) and also had a whirlwind period of looking every night. We were buying locally, though, so one night we'd do our drive-bys and the next we'd have showings scheduled to look inside the ones that interested us. A few we did not make offers on: The one with the "fun house" door frames... obvious cosmetic fixing could not disguise the fact that the door frames were crooked - closer to the ceiling on one end than the other! ANY of the ones where the neighboring homes were less than 20 feet from the structure we were looking at. We own motorcycles, and try to be good neighbors with regard to the noise generated by warming up the bikes. The lovely family home with the 18-inch-wide hallway that led to the basement door, and the disturbingly tiny winding staircase that led to a finished attic space (no kidding - four-inch deep step, four-inch riser... for CHILDREN ONLY? (Too bad, too - we both LOVED the location of this one.) The one with the weird labyrinth of rooms that was a foreclosure and had been vacant for three years. Generally, everything we looked at was tidy and presented as best it could be, with only a couple exceptions. The home we purchased has been a rental for a few years so it needs some TLC but we are happy to do that work and it will be a great home for us. Glad you found something, hope your favorite comes through! Janet...See MoreSome woman didn't like her Christmas gift from hubby--now it's on
Comments (32)Well -- I imagine that they had an interesting Christmas gift-opening session (wonder if anyone else was there)! LOL! Reminds me of the time my boyfriend's mother (now my mother in law) gave me a fertility doll for Xmas. Opened the present in front of some of his relatives who were meeting me for the first time that day. AWK-WARD. (MIL didn't do it to be provocative; she bought it during a trip to Morocco because she thought it was interesting. Yeah boy.)...See MoreJudyG Designs
