Project - Jeff's House

[Jeff]

So yeah, I bought a house! I decided not to post until we closed on it, until all was final. The mortgage broker showed up at the title company in his Range Rover wearin gator boots....it was at that moment that I new I had picked the right people for the job.

So I posted in here because much like a car this house will be a huge and drawn out project for me. I already have goals and things that need doing.

Vitals-
Year - 2006
Style - "Duplex" (though it does not meet the true definition)
Bed Rooms - 3
Baths - 2.5
Sq ft - 2000est
Heat - Natural gas
A/C - Central
Garage - single car
Basement - poured concrete
Floors - hardwood/carpet/vinyl

Finally, the pictorial tour







Coming though the front door, living room/kitchen strait ahead, stairs to the left, half bath and garage doors to the right.



The first floor is mostly one big open space. The fireplace is natural gas and the area above it is wired for the TV.







The garage


Stairs from living room down to basement




Going upstairs


Washer and dryer in the door to the left, 2 other bedrooms strait ahead.



bedrooms (nice stain!)



They have a full bath...I'll spare you the picture, anyway on to the master!



Master is pretty big, and the upstairs deck comes off it there with the goofy porthole window. And the other door goes to my favorite room in the house...my bawlin bathroom...







Oh, one of the view off the deck


That's all for the photo tour. Now for the list of "to dos"

1. Door knobs. I just spent $250 on new ones. The house had no deadbolts, it sure has some nice ones now.
2. Dig up the "mexican garden"


3. CLEAN!
4. Fix kitchen floor where they F'ed it takin out the fridge


5. Paint!
6. Fix the busted ass rail on the back deck


Its mostly little cosmetic things. I hope to get it up to par and be moved in completely in the next few months. Burn it down MM party?

Awesome man, congrats!! A bunch of the MMer's are buying up houses lately... I won't blow up anyone else's spot, I'll wait until they spill the beans!!

Place looks awesome, those are some really nice cabinets in the kitchen! I like your soaking tub too, make sure you really take care of those jets.. they're a pain to keep clean. You've got lots of room to grow into that thing too, that basement is nice!

[HAULN-SS]

Looks nice. I like those kitchen cabinets as well. Are you done with school already? I don't know what you majored in or plan on doing or whatever, but I guess you'll be around woodstock for a while now huh?

[Mike]

Those stairs don't look up to building code :lol:

it's woodstock. i'm sure you can get away with things like that if you offer the inspector a 1% reduction on his new car's apr

[Jake]

Looking good!

[Steve85]

Wow... that is nicely appointed. Lotsa a hardwood, and yeah those are nice cabinets...

I can't afford any house in the area I live in - I need a sugga momma.

Can I use your garage?

[HAULN-SS]

Adam don't you work in frederick? you should just move out my way - it's 40 miles to frederick by direct route. Houses way cheaper.
