    I love bricks, and what a great looking interior design. image


    I'm almost done a full reno job on my place. Got rid of the old 1979 walls and halls to open the place right up.

    Congrats, now is the time to put in the surround sound before they finish mudding the sheet rock.
  • Nice house, but I'm going to ask an off-the-wall question. Is that you doing the house maintenance, or is it someone else?

    Awesome! Congrats.

    Good stuff. I'm looking to close at the end of October on a place...squeakin' out just in time to get the $8k 1st time home buyers creds toward closing.

    Edited to add...

    Looking at the pics I said to myself, "he's got to live in Florida."

    We`ll take it.

    congrats. I just bought a new house too. I've been here almost 2 months and was gonna wait until we got everything situated and then take some pictures. I'll work on them next week. What part of Florida do you live in?

    Basspro, are you in Florida? Me too.

    Great time to buy. I hope you are very happy there.

    I'm going to wait till the end of Summer when the Commercial Real Estate Collapse kicks in and buy some multi family homes, condos and apartment buildings myself but it's way to early to do this in my opinion.

    May I suggest you get Lawnmowerman to work on that front lawn.

    Congrats on the new house. I just closed on my first house about 3 weeks ago in the Canton, OH area. Not buying two years ago was probably the best move that I ever made, as I got into one of my dream neighborhoods and still stayed well within my budget.

    Hey Corvette, before you post any photos of your house why don't you warn us because I am sure they are so HUGE it might crash our little computers!

    Congratulations Bill. I hope you enjoy your new home. I love the real estate market right now.

    Ditto. We bought 6 months ago and got our dream house for $75K less than it would have cost 18 months earlier.

    Congrats to the OP on the new place!
