What I have been up to since I quit my job...(56k go find Hotrex)
The housing market here sucks so I figured with a little time and $15k, I could turn the drab,plain house that I bought for $189,900 into something that could sell for $215k. Not a huge profit but at least it will cover closing costs and fund our return trip to cali. Plus my equaty will go for a down payment towards a house in San Diego.
All rite, I dont have any before picts but imagine beige carpet, and mocha collerd walls in all room in both floors. The bath rooms had some phycodellic wall paper.
The house is staged to sell which means we un personelized it.
Enterance. I laid 3/8-1/2" un guaged slate through out the first floor except for the two lower bed rooms. That carpet is plush as hell and has 1/2 padding under neath. Its feels like you're walking on clouds. . Also installed the 4" base board you see through out.
Looking past the stairs.
Going up stairs.
Up stairs game room.
Looking down at the formal living room from cat walk.
Back down stairs looking at the formal living room from the breakfast room.
Kitchen. the cabinets used to be doo-doo brown and it looked like a cave once the floor was installed. Spray paint FTW!!!
Breakfast room.
den/office, where I'm hanging out now
Formal dinning. Thattable has only been used once to eat, but I stack all my RC ---- when it comes in the mail on it. It drives my wife nuts .
" Where the majic happens"
Master bath looking one way and then the other. The wall paper in here was .
And finally the back yard. Yes, I laid all the flag stone myself . The pergola is an alluminum kit from Costco. We're taking it with us
Made a sitting area near the two windows. There used to be holly bushes in front.........So Any one intrested in buying it? :P :P

Your lawn is dying.
400k is nothing. That house would go for 1.2-1.4 mil here

that house would go for like 400K in CT, and you have to deal with scumbags and snow.

Yes its crazy what you get for the money. I will be buying 1/2 the house for double the price in Ca. But since its a buyers market in Ca rite now it will have about 100k in equaty.
The house is 2890sqft but has this room over the garage that could be finished out. When the door is closed it looks funny because there is a door at the end of a hallway where there shouldnt be.
Its the with and lenght of a two car garage.
