I guess that rules out a sex change, lol. I always love getting regional pricing info. It fascinates me. Your house would cost less here. Depending on location I can't really say how much less. If it were a terrible location maybe even half of that. If it were a good location maybe only a little less. But the utilities would cost way more here. For a modern house (I don't mean an old farm house with no insulation) here that is just about 4000 sqft it costs $500 a month for air and heat if you average it out over a year. I guess yours would be $750 here.

Me confused :)

What a gorgeous house! COngrats all that hard work and saving has paid off, good for you and your son.

Thanks :)

very very nice zuzana

Umm can I get a pic of my room please?

ok up and back to the grind lol :)

looks like your house is on a kind of land slide. No heavy rain for you.

Great success story :) So few female designers and you're not only one of them, but obviously VERY GOOD. Congrats - love the house and damn, those decks......

Depends on what it's built on. I live literally on a cliff. But it's on a mountain made of rock. I don't think I'm falling off anytime soon :thumbsup (been through plenty of rain including hurricane Ivan that flooded the town).

I can just imagine the drunk dialing calls I'm gonna get from you two :helpme

Thanks hun, I have worked my ass off and went thru alot of BS the last 4 years to get where I'm comfortable with eveything in my life :) And I have a TON of great people in this bizz to thank for it all ... What comes around goes around and in the end the ones that work had will be here to stay ... The bizz changes daily and you just have to keep up and work harder or be left behind wondering what happen .. Don't bitch about this or that just work harder and smarter :thumbsup

Did porn pay for that house or you have another job?

100% porn lolz :) but I have been saving all my pennies for over 5 years to get a home :)

:party-smi

Very nice place :)
How much had you ex-husband to pay for it? :Graucho:Graucho:Graucho

nice picks!

Beautiful home Sarah. Congrats!

Btw want me to send Kevin over to help paint? :winkwink:

Congrats, hope you get it paid for in a lot less than 30 years though! It's very possible that you will given your obvious talent.

Why did you move to North Carolina?

congrats .. your house is beautiful .. and easily worth double the 800K here in the Vancouver BC area .. 1.5 mill easily .... sounds like you deserve it, hard work pays off .. good of you to post the pics to show some of these lazy assholes what they could be living in if they actually worked .. lol...

Very nice place :thumbsup

What is the "twin turbo" in the garage? :winkwink:

dope house

requesting more pics of the homeowner

:P

love your saying that, are you considering USA based or relocation is ok too? ;)

Those words are so beautiful. Nice house. I guess thats what you deserve for being a badass web designer :)

I had a dream last night,

that I sold my house, moved to NC, paid off Sarah's mortgage, and we became as one. And she let me play naked twister with her and all her girlfriends.

Was weird waking up back in my house after that.

I'm waiting for the after pics.. I want to see what colors she chose.

I'm at the point of doing the interior of my place and need some ideas. I'm tired of it being all one color.

Nice thing with this industry... first major purchase I made was cars... then house.. first the accountant said "you need the tax write-off of the interest so don't pay it off too soon", then it was "it's not making enough of a difference to worry about so pay it off when you want". Bought it in '97, paid it off in 2001 and it's worth about 2.5 times what I paid for it...... if I ever decide to sell it.

PK

I will tell you what after starting this project I will hire painters next time .. between my cats stepping in the paint me dripping paint and taping crap off, I wish I never started this lol .. I'm using a rust color for the office. This is only one coat so far so it looks rough ...

Do what I did (I'm still the talk of the local Ace store): Paint almost each wall a different wild color. Granted, most of my walls and my ceilings wood so that offsets a lot of the craziness but I ended up with:

Lime green in my loft/above my living area
Lime green in the basement bathroom
Robin's egg blue in the guest bed and bath (was being nice to guest)
Lemon yellow in the living area and kitchen
Purple in my bedroom
Pink in my bathroom
and I was boring and did the basement grey.

Thank goodness I have a small house or I'd be looking at the big box of Crayolas for ideas. It's an open floorplan so you can pretty much see every room but the basement from every other room so it is an explosion on the eyes.

My painter was shaking his head wondering WTF I was thinking but now, over a year later, he said he still talks to others about how much he likes it. He calls it the "Happy Color House" :)

With all the bright colored folk art I have, I call it the house decorated by someone with the mind of a 12 year old :thumbsup

My painter also explained to me that I'd never get a man to move in here with the MB painted pink, lol.

WOW I would love to see those colors :) sounds very cool

I'll clean it up some day and take some pics ;)

Yea thats my problem lol I need to pick up all the crap you relize you have when you start moving stuff around .. I found a broken vase I had on the mantel and never knew one of the fucking cats knocked it over ... grrrrr

What made me think I could paint this place is all the damn shows on hdtv, They make it look sooooooo easy.. I'm addicted to that station ... But I get 1/2 way thru stuff and end up changing my mind lol

I love the backyard balcony

Thats one hell of a set of bricks. What does your husband do?

It really truly does help if you read the thread before posting.
