My stupid house.

I like that show, too. I grew up in a 110-year-old Victorian-era "Money Pit," Mrs. Green. It was constantly needing something, and when it did it was never cheap. Glad y'all are handy!

Here in Texas, by law, lenders won't even let someone get a mortgage without an inspection. I can't remember which state you're in, but I'm guessing it's not here. Good luck!

Skink, there's still time to learn and get yourself another wife. . . . That skill really does give you a, well, a leg up.

My last house was 96 yrs old. I redid everything from electric to sheetrock to landscaping. 3 years of blood sweat and tears. I loved it. It was in an up and comming area. Guy who bougt it..TORE IT DOWN! Built a whole new house. I almost cried.

Now that is just freaking wrong! I would have been upset too. When you renovate a house, your spirit gets infused into it. I love old houses. One of the reasons why I am so pissed about this house is because it's gorgeous. It has great bones, and it's been neglected. I see so much waste, you know?

*sorry these posts are out of sequence. My body aches from the work we've been doing, so I've been smoking a bit more than usual, and I keep missing posts. LOL!:stoned: I am not what one would call a functioning stoner.

I waived home inspection to speed up the sale.

That was the case here too.
I understand why he was in such a hurry. I really do. We've been through a lot together, and he was just dying to get settled down with his woman and kids.
Part of the problem is that Papi is such an upstanding trustworthy fellow that he thinks everyone is the same way. He's too trusting, and people who aren't honorable see him coming a mile away. I'm the pitbull in the relationship, but I can only do so much without damaging his pride as a man. So sometimes I have to let him take the lead, even when it doesn't turn out so well.

Have any of you ever seen the show "If Walls Could Talk"? Its on HGTV and its about really old homes that people have redone and all the things they learn about the history of the homes and the people that used to live in them. I really like it but I am both a history and design nerd. If you watch it you might get some cool period design ideas if you want to go in that direction for decoration.

That is such a cool show! I can't decide whether I want to go period, or funky. I think maybe the attic and the kitchen for funky, and the rest of the house period. I have to have at least one room that reflects my insanity.
