Oh, its a house. I came to see the new (dash) pad lol. Looks like you got a great place. New places are great. Im gettin the first time home buyers tax credit this year and my Monte cant wait. I almost didnt file this year since I didnt work at all. I about missed out. Good luck on making your new house yours. That green wall is a little wild by the way.
The whole place needs a little TLC but only stuff like cleaning and painting and changing a few faucets. Everything else is in good shape and ready to move in. Im real excited to get in there. I have been over there every evening since tuesday and ill probably be there all weekend working.
Can't wait to see pics as you finish things to your liking.
The house is pretty close to everything. Its right across the highway from work and about 10 minutes from my parents house. The neighborhood is pretty nice. Its off the main drag so the only people that go through are the people who live there.
I will be painting the kitchen and the stairway when you first walk in along with the living room. The color of the living room is close to an olive green. It looks so much brighter cause I only have 1 coat down over a white wall so far. It will darken after I put the second coat down. The main bedroom is wallpapered so I wont do anything with it. The second bedroom only has a wallpaper border around the top and it will come down eventually. If I can get it down without destroying the paint underneath, I will just leave the walls alone in that room.
After all that fun stuff is done Ill start moving in my furniture. I have brand new living room furniture and kitchen table and chairs. I will be taking my bedroom furniture I use now. Once I get all that crap in then the partying starts, lol. It has a hell of a nice deck and would be a great place to grill and hang out.
