P*O*L*L - how often do you 'visit' check on your home?
Comments (19)Well, we were the opposite end of the spectrum. We built from 1300 miles away and visited I think 5 or 6 times. Each time we flew down we grouped as many things together as we could. Ours was a custom build, approx. 7000 sf under roof with a pool house and boat dock. Can't say that there is anything that we'd do different. Our next door neighbor is a retired architect and he tells us that he's convinced we have the best built foundation in the neighborhood and was very impressed with our build. That was after the fact. We were incredibly fortunate, thankful and love our home....See MorePoll: Is Home Ownership the Way Out of Poverty?
Comments (34)Jane, I personally would be hesitant to invest in a small condo now. Condos went down first in the last decline. I knew so many friends who bought in the late 80s who were upside down on their loans for a really long time (close to 10 years) meanwhile they needed to move on and start families and needed space. Some rented the, some sold at a loss and some sold only recently and tripled their money. Please make sure it is in a location you can rent out if you need to. However, everyone debates whether prices are going up or down so who knows Momtokai well said "Why is that an immigrant person who may have been a college professor/professional/businees owner in his/her country will come to America and cut your grass and clean your house, but a person born in this country without a high school diploma thinks it is beneath him/her to do that kind of work" I think education or skills training and a work ethic is the way out. We came here in 1968 and my parents had no money but they were educated and had a profession and because of the Vietnam War, were able to actually get jobs in their field since everyone was off fighting. They did not own a house for another 10 years but by then could afford something very upscale. They bought right before the price jump of the 1980s but then I bought right before the price crash of 1987! So it is also a function of random timing. I agree they are not your typical immigrants but I think throughout the generations the typical immigrants worked to better themselves. A house was a byproduct of that, not the cause of it. I think part of saving for your first house teaches money responsibility, without that it is like handing someone a hunting rifle and sending them out to hunt without teaching them how to use it I think there is a big difference between a first generation person who is working even if he is illegal and washes dishes and the entrenched poverty where mom, grandma and great grandma are all living on the dole...See MoreCabinet guy not working out::( what would you do?
Comments (5)First of all, I wouldn't pay anything tomorrow unless everything contracted for is delivered (and installed?) in good condition. As far as using him for further work - that depends. What were the reasons for the delay? Are you happy with the quality of the work? Does he seem honest? I doubt you'll have a problem finding someone else for the rest of the work - it's a separate job - just as long as you're not hiring them to clean up the other cabinet maker's work - then you might have a problem....See MoreHow do I figure out what style of doorknob works for my home?
Comments (7)Our floors and banister are the dark brown and our kitchen/dining floor is the oak wood look tile: Here are the door knobs currently in the greenish ANTIQUE brass. We had a lot more antique brass, but are transitioning the brass to the AGED brass look, like this in our kitchen/dining pedant (also have chrome in kitchen):...See MoreMonique Barrow
