    lol... Yes the hedge is the mailbox for now and the garage is in the back. It has been converted, though poorly, to an extra room. This space has been claimed already for man-cave/two channel duty. The power has already been checked, and a twenty amp service will be going in as well for that space.


    And yep... the Big "0" looked great in the debates, didn't he.:cheesygrin:

    Congrats!! The house looks to be in nice shape. I'm not totally sure, but the roof looks to be in excellent condition?

    It seems you picked the right place, at that price you will sleep well at night knowing you invested in something worth more than you paid for it the minute the closing is done! Been there, done that, and I can certainly attest to the "always something to be done" adage, we are working on finishing the last remaining space as I type this LOL. Good luck to you in the future!
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Nice place.

    What's with the steel gates on your doors? Is it THAT bad down there...?

    I saw that around the DC/MD/Baltimore area when I was browsing for places and thought the same thing: Near half a million bucks and it needs a security gate? You get used to it, it's just how it goes in urban areas.

    I don't know why, but when you are in your 80's security gates become all important when you are a woman living alone. I intend on removing it and replacing it with a Glock or Smith & Wesson. The crime rate is very low in this neigborhood and the best schools in the area are walking distance away.

    Now waitamminit, I looked online for 1/2 an hour, and found zero places that sell security gates made by either of those manufacturers... :wink: j/k

    Whats even more funny.....I see the neighbors chipped in for some window treatments, tired of you waving to them in the window....naked.

    That also may explain the security gates too. Maybe the neighbors bought those too, not to keep people out, but to keep John in.:cheesygrin::cheesygrin:

    Can't go wrong with buying a house as your principal residence.
    Will your first stage of remodeling be the kitchen or the bathrooms?
    And since you are in the valley you should invest in insulation right away.
    It gets cold in the winter and blazing hot in the summer. Air conditioning costs can be
    $700.00 a month or more if uninsulated.

    I just had my house insulated (built in 1958 when energy was dirt cheap), and PG&E (power company) has a rebate program where it pays .50 cent on the dollar. I can't wait for the winter to see how well it works. Watch global warming screw everything up, and we have a mild winter. :rolleyes:

    I believe in talking to John they will be doing the kitchen first and then just paint for everything else. He is planning on ripping the 2 channel room apart to build a properly insulated, acoustically treated room with the proper power for his Maggies and tube amps :biggrin:
