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. :6. Also installed the 4" base board you see through out.

how many sq feet is that house?

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

Re: What I have been up to since I quit my job...(56k go find Hotrex)
 

Your lawn is dying.

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

Re: What I have been up to since I quit my job...(56k go find Hotrex)
 

yeah but you have nice weather all year long, plus its cali.

Re: What I have been up to since I quit my job...(56k go find Hotrex)
 

The lawn is going to sleep for the winter :P. Thats what grass does here in NorTex. I mowed it for tha kast time this weekend..wohoo!

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.
