Off Topic Part Deux

It doesnt look too bad. I like the arched doorways. Would prefer to have a garage myself...the little patch of grass in the middle of the driveway strikes me as odd because it appears like the rest of the drive is paved. *shrug* Its good that you are reading the reports. Has there been any inspections on the house lately that you can refer to as well?

Holy Ken cracks me up... like honestly!

Yes, no garage, but I suppose we could always convert it back - or build a carport. This is a bank owned forclosure, so no property reports etc - so we will be getting our own inspection done - if we decide we want it.

Has anyone here had a house inspection done - know of a good company?

I thought this coffee picture was rather Spring-like. Enjoy your day!

I like that pic!

Today my boss approved for me to go on vacation the first week of May to the Dominican Republic! Ahh some great news for a change!

Holy moly! That's awesome, Treble! Can't wait to see the pics.

I'm heading off back to the land of palm trees and coconuts in a few minutes.

Have a safe flight, Cat. Hope you get a better seat this time. Your good deeds will be rewarded. Karma baby. lol

So I skim read the 10 pages - that was slightly interesting and yet boring. This is the house, around 1500 sq ft, about 2.5 blocks from a main street - which is mostly commercial (ie motels, restaurants etc etc) umm, needs a bit of work, flooring, paint, clean up, nothing too bad. 3 bdrms, 1.5 baths.

Low-ball the offer if you go for it, Trailmix. Don't forget to check the city stats/census information. I hear you can also call the local police department and get a report on any crimes in the area. Good luck!

Oh! I have a great one! Let me look him up and I'll send you the information.

Okay, gotta run. I am now two hours behind schedule on things I had to get done today and I haven't even showered yet!

My inlaws are arriving this week for a visit.... yay.... and I must prepare.

argh, it is cold in here today.. and silly me turned off the pilot light on our gas heater last week, thinking it was starting to warm up around here...

[MrsCat 6]

I like the house. I think it looks cozy. I am partial to tile floors also. So much easier to upkeep, and if you have pets, helps with the hair. I like the yard, its so bright and happy looking.

Good morning everyone! Well, the plumber was over yesterday and fixed our plumbing issue for $150.00. The parts which we purchased, were $35.00. The first guy that came said parts cost $335.00. Yeah right! Well, glad that's done for now. He also does electrical work, so we'll definitely keep his name and number for other issues should they come up. Word of mouth is the best advertising!

I really like those pictures you posted trailmix. I think that place looks like it has so much potential! It looks like a lot of grass in the front...how big is the backyard? Is there a patio or deck in the back? I don't know that you'd need a garage...a carport could do just as well, especially in Florida. Sometimes converted garages make for an excellent sunroom!

Very warm here again today, however there are some major storms moving in for late this afternoon and evening with strong winds. Hope it's not too bad.

Enjoy your day everyone!

Mmmm, yum. That coffee looks really good. I feel like we should be drinking it at an outdoor bistro in Europe though. lol

Wait a minute. Is that house pink? With dusty rose accents? Trailmix, get them to throw in a new paint job. Unless you like that colour. Then it's really nice.

Well, today I am going to the hairdresser and then to a Pampered Chef party at my friend's fine wine store. She's told me to come early and is bribing me with promises of lots of wine. It worked. I hope I don't see anything I like. I'm a sucker for kitchen stuff. Makes me all tingly inside.

[Emancipation 2]

Ahem.. I would like to announce it's a raging snow storm outside on PEI today

Morning all!!!

I like the house too Trailmix!

[Krikit 1,164]

Haha to PEI. Except I love snowstorms.

I have the strangest craving for Cocoa Puffs. So I am having Canadian Cheez Whiz on toast done under the broiler. Yummy yummy in my tummy. Must add Cocoa Puffs to my grocery list.

[thetreble 19]

Morning Yall. Gosh it's still cold out. This is unseasonably cold for New Jersey!

[Ban Hammer 13,206]

good morning. had some storm go thru here last night, has it reached you yet, carla?

Wine and a pampered chef party, ok well come back and tell us about all the stuff you buy

Is the house pink - I don't think so but I actually have no idea - oh I just asked Mike and he said kind of? = we don't know.

And Carla it has quite a big-ish back yard, completely privacy fenced and a patio, which hasn't been screened in yet, but we would do that. In the back yard, right in the middle is a HUGE shade tree - it's quite pretty back there.

Good morning!

I've put Cheez Whiz on my toast, and it gets all melty, but never put it in the broiler. Mmmmm I'll have to try that!

Not yet charles...it's supposed to be by us by about 4 pm. Very high winds, lightening, thunderstorms, and 2 " of rain!

That backyard sounds great! Lots of grass to cut...does Mike like cutting grass? Or maybe you do the grass? It does sound lovely though...I'm liking this place more and more!

I agree MrsCat - do you have tile floors in your place?

Carla - umm we don't do grass really
