This way I have no property taxes and if anything goes wrong with the house I don't have to worry about anything. For example, the city I live in made the eighty-something year old landlady and everyone else on the street pay over $2500 each just to add some plumbing in their yards for new water meters that met the city code. I am going to be looking for a house with more property and maybe a pool this summer. Of course, your money goes a lot further in suburban Michigan than it does here in South FL!

Yep. You definitely have trade offs from rental to house. That is for sure. Luckily, I found a dude who is just happy to work. So he just keeps plugging away on projects.

I know what you mean on that abatement shit. Or whatever it's called. When I was looking at houses, I made sure not to really consider those one main streets, some under construction, and shit. Those new roads, water lines, and shit really jack up your taxes on top of the rest.

Amen to that shit.

Nothing beats rolling out of bed, grab some caffeine, and off to work in your undies.

Some nice work there.
I just finished the basement myself lots of work but worth it in the end.
I would get a blind for the webcam office though :)

Already have the blinds. They are just not up yet. Was happy to finally get that other major shit done. Should have em up this weekend.

I can only imagine the fun the neighbors could have watching since their driveway and main door is outside that window. :1orglaugh

They are not going to be painted. They will either get a clear coat, or a 'natural' stain once the hardwoods are redone.

This house has a lot of wood in it. I am switching out the closet doors, shelving in the closets, hardwoods, framing to a 'natural' stained wood as we get things done. The hardwoods are oak, and the doors pine. So once the floors are done. We'll see what we have to do to those louver doors.

Thanks mang.

It's hard sometimes. Picking colors. Trying to imagine in your head what rooms and colors will look like. I was not happy with 2nd office/3rd BR until it was all done. Crown, trim and everything.

Same for 2nd BR upstairs. It is a nice shade of green. The girlies like it. But until the doors are on, trim, crown, uniform utility plates, etc. The jury is still out.

Materials in these projects are not what kills you. It is labor!

The 3rd (of 4) BR now done (4th is downstairs office). This one will be for cams, shoots, and guest BR. Sorry for bad color. Camera phone is shit.


A better shot of the color(s)

Replaced the wood shelving. Added in closet light.

Added crown molding. Recess lighting.


Added new trim. Louver closet doors. New blinds. Matching (new) white face plates for electric, cable, phone.

However, I know what you mean. Some people can not work from home. They need that whole separation thing to click in their mind and do the work.

thats how i do my shit also, DIS-FUCKING-CIPLINE FTW!
