Things you thought of after your home was built
Comments (27)BIG ONE that I've never seen: -Pay a little extra for a quieter bathroom exhaust fan, especially in the powder room. Ours, and those in almost every house I see, is so loud that anyone would be embarrassed to use it, or leave it on afterwards. Others: -Framing in wall next to where desk is to hold up desk -Having air returns and ducts in conditioned space (never asked about it) -Make sure can lights are sealed or in conditioned space (climbing into attic this weekend to fix) -Have gas fireplace box protrude into room, and put bookshelves next to it, rather than have it bump-out into the outside, where it is difficult to insulate. Although we plan this to be our only house until our little ones are grown, my wife smiles at me when I discover problems and reminds me that this isn't our "forever" house (that's heaven, y'all). :)...See MoreI would like to assoc. you with your home soooo
Comments (105)Love to see all these beautiful homes! Our family room is where we spend all our free time. In the moments that I'm not running around the house or chasing the small person seen in the picture, I am watching HGTV or using my laptop while sprawled on the couch. I can't seem to get my act together to take new pics for this post. I have rearranged and changed things quite a bit lately, but this is what it looked like a few months ago: Lo Jen...See MoreSetting up DS’ first apt on the cheap
Comments (31)Amazing work there! The Mexican Bingo is totally GENIUS. It looks terrific and I know for moi I would have never thought of it (or if I did, I could have never completed the thought to action). In my area, CL is not really an option. Freecycle is quite good. We just moved here 6 days ago and in our old area and this new area, Freecycle is quite happening. My daughter has buynothing where she is and it is outstanding. It is not in my area. I am hoping it will start here. Anyway - GREAT JOB~~~...See MoreWhat feature do YOU really like about your house, apartment or condo?
Comments (72)Whether one has a house worth 100 and no other assets or liabilities, or a house worth 100, a mortgage of 50, and another asset of 50 which can appreciate in addition, the house is entirely owned by its owner all the same. The negative of having no loan on real estate is that it prevents the diversification and additional amounts of investments that would be possible if the money that was otherwise used to repay the loan were invested separately in other investments. Borrowing money for real estate has nothing at all to do with living beyond one's means if the payments can be afforded. Those who are the most sophisticated with financial matters, that being large business and companies actually in the finance industry, borrow money. Those least knowledgeable, mostly individuals with no finance experience or knowledge, think of paying off a mortgage as a desirable goal. Take that truthful observation and reach your own conclusions....See Morenicole___
