the kids are getting big!

Yes they are…daughter is starting kindergarten this year and the youngest starts next year

that's a nice ass house.

Yeah, nice house. I'd put up pics of my house but I'm afraid some Internet stalker may find it... haha

kinda hard to get a good pic of the front with all those trees...but it's 4 bedroom, 3 full bath...anyone wanna donate $$$ so i can buy a 60" tv

find it kinda funny now...but i spent most of 2004 homeless

lol i've been watching t.v. off a 19 inch for three years. gl with getting a 60 inch.

i declared war on 1 of the 2 trees in front of the house for the very reason that they were hiding it. the other tree's day is coming up real soon! i'll try and take some pics later today...i know tony already asked about some when i was talking about the war on the roses.

which by the way...the roses started resprouting back up at the end of where i planted the new plants :banghead:

u guys make me want to post pics of my apartment.

Very nice Blu!

This is from back in early March prior to taking possession...

i want a garage :( :(

Be a manly man and build one

build it!!! a really big one, 5 car!!!

i would have to expand the driveway 1st in order to put in a garage...and that would mean cutting down some very old pine trees...and the wife alread said no to that

Well it’s different when you’re married…all monies are shared…but going to do something

I’d have to cut down these trees and grade that area…I don’t even want to talk about the cost because it’s a slope going up to the street

What about behind the house... like a shop?

Raise a barn, boy!

Cost shmost. You got kids.. free labor. Hoist that load! Lift that bail! :grinno:

Not much back there but a couple cedar trees and vines…but I’ve been dumping my yard waste behind the shead:D …the only thing with that is driving back there…would have to drive thru the yard, or I could put down some gravel and drive along the side of the yard :dunno:

I would suggest making a driveway but that seems like a long way to fill with cement. Gravel driveways are kind of a pain in the ass if you ask me. we had one when I was little and the little rocks got everywhere and made lawn care a dangerous task sometimes

gravel sucks.

yeah so for the time being it's gonna stay as is...thought about a car port but couldn't play basketball if i put one up

are you saying you want a garage so you can affix a hoop to it later or you can play basketball now and a car port would somehow interfere?

no and yes

Get a sweet 5ft hoop. It fits under the port and makes for easy dunk contests

I have a goal post for b-ball in my driveway adjacent to the garage. It's old and I measured it and it's actually 10.5 feet from the ground to the rim. The previous owner dude was sorta tall, kinda old and I guess not good at math? Anyway, I'm not a hoops fan but I reckon I'll cut out the existing rusty rim and reattach a fiberglass backboard to the existing one at the correct height (since the one on there isn't moving without cutting it off the rusted metal backing plate affixed to the pole. The pole is permanently in the ground and cannot be moved.... sorta shaped like an upside down J...

i thought about painting the pole we have...but that means sanding off all the rust...it's just fine the way it is :thumbsup:

your house makes my shit look all ghetto, 3 bed 2 bath, in a neighbor hood, where there is 4 houses to your 1

its concrete

Nice house Blu.

Edited for stupidity

thanks...atleast your space is bigger than mine

Yea, but it might be at my house for long. We are thinking of moving into an apartment to save some money, so the race cars might be moving to here parents house. Don't know yet.

We are thinking of moving into an apartment to save some money,

glad i'm not the only one that's thinking of that...well thought if we had done that we would have had an extra +$40k at the end of the year...but she wouldn't go for that

Utilities is a house can add up quick. Our utilities right now cost as much as our rent does. We can find an apartment that with the utilities it will come up to what we pay for rent here.

Granted, I do like going in the back yard to work on my cars...even though I just started doing that last week. I just finally started working on that car last week, had it for a yr or so now. Wish my hatch was over here so I could get it done.

remember to post pics

late but not forgotten....

when we bought the place the previous owners had sod put in then they moved down to cali and it was never watered. 6-8 mos later when we moved in it looked like a checkerboard of dead, rejected, sod squares. my friends told me it was a lost cause to try to save it...now when they come over i tell them to kiss my grass :evillol:
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s197/ladynredsi/house002.jpg

our house is a 1910 apt house. i'm all into artichitecture so this house was a cool find with og hardwood floors, crown molding, arched doorways, and don't forget the vintage bling...

red flowers in the black pots on the steps. i love them, they look like velvet...
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s197/ladynredsi/house016.jpg

blue flowers i planted in planter in-between our house & the neighbor's driveway...

....and no we did not mount the dish on top of the porch, that was the previous owners :loser:

There seems to be an infestation of hondas in your yard. You probably wanna get that checked out :grinno:

Sweet balcony, I always wanted one so I could just sit and chill when its nice out. Something about being outside on the upper level is relaxing to me.

that was after we sold the 2 sols'...and you should see inside the garage :screwy:

the 00 si belongs to our best friend who lives in our basement. we dwell in the upstairs...so there is a floor (ground level) between us & him. ironically enough he has the only bedroom with a bathroom in it. in theory he has the master bedroom :icon16:

ahhh !!! Nice Houses' everyone :grinyes:

I wish I could afford a house... damn 900sq/ft bungalow's are going for $300k + :banghead:

Ami... The new pad is looking WICKED !! One of these day's I'll come and visit again :naughty:

Damn, you make me want to come visit you guys again. Should be able to do something this next summer or so.

Hows the legend handle? Been interested in driving one of those since I tore down so many at the salvage yard. I don't think they would handle like a normal FWD, 90% of the weight is behind the axles :) Seems everyone around here has problems getting them stopped, they all had front end damage.

i liked it when i test drove it with a bad clutch for em. if your coming out again tony, ill be sure to be there!

Ami has a nice yard...i want a nice green lawn :( ...but we haven't had a decent rain in a couple months and we're like at stage 3 drought...

jeff you deffinately need to come visit again, hey!

tony, the legend has dual piston calipers. if people can't stop them then they shouldn't drive. i <3 the legend. for being a big ol' car it's suprisingly nimble. the 6th gear is cool on roadtrips. it gets good gas mileage. i could go on :pimp:

BLU...if you remember pics of the old pad, i never had grass before. i really appreicate it now. it was worth all the hard work to get it to grow.

the tree on the right side (of pic) i chopped way back a couple of months ago. thinking about removing it. the other tree i call the furby tree. it constantly sprouts up & down the tree. i have to cut it back every couple of months or it looks like a furby. that tree is coming down next summer for sure. i'm pretty sure 50,000 birds live in it. no car in the driveway is safe. you will be in the middle of washing your car when more bird poop appears. :swear:

I figured they would be pretty nimble. Like I said, I was under them all the time and finally the axle location hit me, there is like half a foot of motor in front of the axles, the rest is behind them. Haven't actually seen a 6 speed yet though, heard they are really rare. Forgot they were dual pistons calipers, just about everyone that came in the yard had the front end smashed in. I think its just too much car for most of the people are here, lol. :)

Alright, sorry for the thread jack. It is a really nice house though Ami, and I just noticed the pink thing in your chandeliers :)

I have some major yard work to do...but i'm not doing it till fall, or winter...weeds have overgrown too much and the biggest part of the yard that i need to do i can't get a mower into it...thinking about expanding the driveway also...well making another entrance off to the side b/c we have one narrow entrance and if there's more that 3 cars in the driveway, someone has to back their car up...and there's 2 dead pines at the enrance of the driveway that need to be removed

BLU - You have one huge ass yard, only thing missing is a nice little shop/garage or somthing !!!

I looked at that pic without reading the thread and thought "when did blu get that big ass driveway?" And then I thought "why does it look so wierd and pixelated???"
