holy ****!:eek2: my house is only worth like $250,000 and it has 2200 square feet. that is a lot for a house. the biggest house at the lake i live at is only like 1,000,000 and it is HUGE

[Ralph]

let me look for a pic of my old house

[Ralph]

i dont have any good pics

[lil400exman]

wow my house was in mint shape and it was 2,300 sqf and we only sold it for 170k...................:eek2:

[JustRace]

Yeah its crazy how they price some houses. My mom and step dad are sitting on a gold mine. There house is 2800sqft, has a 60x40ft pole barn, and 50 acres of woods.

[Guy400]

I feel your pain, Jim. I woke up this morning and had to build my wife a small cabinet to go next to the oven for her cookie sheets and muffin tins.

[Guy400]

After that I moved onto the Venetian plaster on the kitchen walls. I'm taking a couple hour break to go to a family cookout but then it's back at it this evening.

[RIjon]

I think you missed a spot (hole in wall)

:p

[Tommy 17]

my house was built new in 1983 and we bought it in 1985 for like 52,000$... now its probably worth 43,000$ if we are lucky... its a 40x30 split entry...


houses aroud here are cheap... those houses u all post pics of wouldn't be worth 60,000$ here... but then again i live in a place that has no economic value what so ever...


when the coal mines closed here we lost everything:grr:

[Glow Plug]

man i never realized how much houses were in the states :eek2: my house is like 2000sqf or something 40 acres we bought it for like 160,000 cdn :rolleyes:

[QuadTrix6]

on long island in new york the houses are worth quite a bit. i live on the water and have a good size house in a good neighborhood with abou a quarter acre of property and its worth about 500,000

[JTRtrx250r]

Pappy...thats the kinda place I'd kill for:D :cool: :macho

[Rip_Tear]

Work at home is always the worst... (JK) but I had to MOVE a building... its 12'x30'. Nice job though JIM, and Kenny sounds good, and Guy, get back to work :p We have 100 acers here and 4500 sq feet of house 3 stores :D

:p Actually, I stopped on purpose. I'm building a corner pantry and after doing the top half of the wall right there I figured I might as well save the plaster that's $36/gallon and skip the area that's going to get covered up anyway. That's just the first coat right there. You've got to go over it again with a second coat of plaster, then a coat of top coat and then you have to burnish it with 600 grit sandpaper. It's a lot of work but looks great when you're done with it.

Well this weekend I got the 'old "could you wash my car today...hey, give that new fancy buffer a try that you just bought"

...after a complete wash job, clay bar, 3M rubbing compound, 3M swirl remover (for dark cars) and 2 coats of 3M wax it was done. Only took around 6 hours, half bottle of Cruzan Rum & a 2 liter of Coke. :eek:

I wish I had a before picture... her paint was SO screwed up and blemished....

anyways, I scored some brownie points after this. :D :D :D

[SGA]

Yep, glad to see I'm not alone this weekend working around the house. I put in some flower beds/shrubs, finished some painting inside the house, straightened up this and that, changed out some lights, etc. It was alot of work this weekend, but it will free some time up for me this summer. :)
VWVR6, that shine is great! If a fly landed on it, it would keep sliding and go off the other side!:p
Everybodys work/projects looks great!

thanks! I can honestly say I was surprised how well it turned out...that 3M stuff worked wonders. It was also the first time I used a "clay bar" to clean the paint... this also worked great! I'd highly recommend it to anyone that is very anal about their cars. LOL :D

[TheChknhwk]

The only thing I heard on memorial day was, "Honey DO ME", and I did:D :devil: This was after I went to work, grilled, swept the garage & made a counter top for the computer desk:ermm: :rolleyes:

[Martin Blair]
