Went out to get another Saab and came back with this.

...a house.

We picked it up tonight and agreed on a deal. Built in 1952, Garage is big for a 2 car (I'll get pictures eventually), 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, 1570 sqft. Wood floors throughout (done by my Uncle's Business which cracked me up when I found out), Central air and heat, 0.5 acres, room to grow and add additions like a 4 car garage.

Anyways...a few pictures for now.





Oh and I'm getting a Doggah, we are going to hit the shelters soon I've been wanting a dog for a long time, thinking about a beagle.

I like it.

Does it have a basement?

[Slick2500]

Must have been a sidewalk or something leading away from the front door, you can see where they put sod in.

Nice looking place!

[ericspecullaas]

good find but your will need a ridding mower

[NegativeOne13]

Needs MOAR low!

[MrPoopyButthole]

Yes it does and I plan to finish it. No sump pump needed, but doesn't mean I won't do the proper tactics to seal and prep it.

Furnance is 30 years old, so we think with tax refund this year get a new one and go Natural Gas, uses heating oil right now, it will pay for itself as it is pumped in from the street.

[ericspecullaas]

so what mods do you have planed?

I have a lot in mind but all in due time, can't plan everything. We plan to start a family within the next 2-3 years.

One nice thing about living on a hill. You will never need your sump pump, most likely.

[matt5112]

Nicely done.

This ended making more sense than buying a lot and building your own?

Yeah, it definitely is. Someone drylocked the basement, I may slap up another coat, they have french drains built in already. I want to lay wood frame, but get panels that are removable so I can redrylock every 10 years and water/mold resistant.

Couldn't beat the price or taxes. I will pay with escrow almost the same as rent, can't beat it and the house really needs nothing.

And the location...it is perfect, quiet road, plenty of space, with a 1 mile of all the important stuff and then some.

Sounds like everything just fell into place.

Isn't life great when that happens?

[buickman104]

Congrats on the new pad! When will you hold a meet for your buddies

[spazzz]

You got leaves!! Yay. Might need a rake and a half.

You grade looks really good for drainage.
Probably wouldn't need the sump if the slope is good. And keep the gutters cleaned.

[Silver2kgtp]

Very nice!!

[rynoman03]

Looks nice!

Cool deal on the DryLok too. You saying that just reminds me that I need to strip off the paint off our walls and apply it. Our walls seep in the spring months.

The garage looks as big as the house. If you build a 4 car garage, that section will be larger than the house and people will know its a house built for a man lived in by a man. You just need a manly dog and a beagle is not a manly dog.
