I think we're fixed!!!
Comments (1)um. . now that we are fixed can we get our fix?? LOTS OF PICTURES, I mean. . .lol Bring um on. . ....See MoreBy the way, I don't think we're going to build...
Comments (7)So I'll continue in here. Here is a preliminary floor for our remodel. But we have changed a few things already: 1.The master bath is NOT 16' wide! 2. Master bedroom has an overhang that extends 5' feet but it runs off the page here. This is a rough starting drawing, but you can see the original foundation through it and what we are adding....See MoreI think we're watching too much CSI. lol
Comments (11)One day while walking the dog, & chewing gum I choked and spit out the gum, then got to thinking "what if someone gets murdered here, & all they can find is that gum, and they have my DNA and nothing else??? Of course now we tease about "don't spit out that piece of gum/candy/lifesaver" Since i was in the army, worked with mentally retarded patients, and took a training as dispatch, my fingerprints are in every database they could check, that would mean my DNA to right? (on the show it would.... )...See MoreI KNOW our Realtor thinks we're nuts!
Comments (31)You are always going to have folks who THINK new is better. It's the way they are wired. A good many of those folks are in the real estate profession. They are looking at things from the point of the bottomline. Not always the best place to measure success from. I'd start by finding a different contractor. When it comes to contractors you generally have two types the one ones who like new because it's fast and easy and it fattens their wallets with a quick turn around and the the ones who are masters and will work with you to save what they can. Generally speaking the latter is more costly but they also have the advantage of being better problem solvers and better at their craft. There seems to be a point of pride they carry which the gut and build guys just don't have. That house has character. It has a good location and if you can afford to fix it up so it maintains that charm then I'd go for it. You fell in love with it as it is. Fixed up and maintained somebody else in the future will love it just as much if not more. My biggest rule in home ownership is go with your gut. If your gut tells you it's better to save it than flatten it them do it....See MoreAnglophilia
