Nice! Do you know how old the house is? And do you have a snake room picked out? And if your friends are painting while you are at work, I hope you didn't leave TOO much beer in the fridge.

have you heard of any stories about your new house being haunted? that would be cool. or you could just make up a story to freak the wife out.

congratulations on getting your first home together,i say home because that is what your now making it into

it was a house

its a pretty nice looking big place you got yourselves

my wife and i had a bottom flat in a building that contained 6 flats

waynes been to the uk and seen how we live in big long walls with doors in them (its pretty grim )

whats the american equivilant of a block of 6 flats mate ?

your new place looks like a wee dream come true

just being nosey,but have you set a date for your wedding ?

i hope you both spend many happy years in there

all the best with the moving (i hate the hassle of moving house )

cheers shaun

Great house and great potential. Do you have a sump pump for the basement? You can put water sealant on the floor and walls to protect the foundation. Water has tremendous pressure and can easily crack walls. Also, make sure you clean the mold because that get picked up by the air vents.

Don't let me scare you. This is a great lil house and you will have lots of fun with it. Congratulations!

If they are on top of each other then it would be called a high-rise with apartments or condos in it, but if they are next to each other then they are called Town-houses.

And if they're on one level inside a building then that's called a Motel.

DeesBalls · 08-08-11, 10:34 AM
