I bought a HOUSE!

[Jonny2184]

YEAH BABY!
You heard it right.
I bought myself a duplex... SWEET!
My parents are going to live downstairs and I'm gonna live upstairs...
My part of the building is WAY bigger then theres. SWEET!
It's only me and I have 3 massive bedrooms, 2 huge living rooms, and a massive storage room in the back with really nice hardwood floors.
Ill probably build some rat racks and put them back there...
It has really nice wood molding all around each room, and the ceilings are super high, so it makes it look a lot bigger then it really is!
It has a nice little backyard. Enough room for a little pond and a shed. I still need to build the pond... that should be kinda fun I hope! and it has a really big deck... maybe 16x16

There are some things wrong with the house. I need to clean out the crawl space and plug in the sump pump that they havent plugged in for some odd reason ! The roof is a little old too. They also only have a service entrance of 60amps which I need to update badly. We are going over there tonight with the electrician to get a quote so we can upgrade it to a 200amp. Now that's what I'm talking about. My snakes are gonna need some good safe power!
anyway here is a picture of the front of the house...



I just had to share some of my excitement with you all... but on the other hand... I have never been sooooo stressed out in my entire life...

Congratz!!
Me and my wife bought our 1st house about 3 years ago now and it was crazy stressful, but now its only stressful sending the home payment in.
Again and congratz, and good luck with your new home.

[Morphie]

congrats, dude. That's awesome.

You must really like your parents to consider living upstairs of them ;D

I'm just teasing. Good luck with it.

gratz! i want to use my VA loan for a house, but havent decided where i plan on settling..
LOL house ISNT crooked. you just have to turn your head slightly to the left

Congrats!!! That's a huge deal! Especially with the way the housing market's been recently (at least here in the States). Just pile all your heavy stuff up on the right side of the house--it'll settle down straight

Congrats on the house!!!! That's really cool!!

And props for living that close to your parents! My mom keeps practically begging me to buy the house right across the street from her and IMO that is too close for me. I love my parents alot, but we get along so much better with some distance. (My mom and I have very similar personalities and tempers, which really clash when you put them together!! LOL)

Congratulations again!!
