i want a massive field of a yard

3/23/2010 3:58:50 PM

7 acres total, but a good majority of that is woods as you can see

3/23/2010 5:43:49 PM

can I come play?

3/23/2010 5:53:55 PM

These are the only 2 I can find from the summer so far, I think I have them on my other computer:

3/23/2010 5:56:45 PM

3/23/2010 5:58:31 PM

4/2/2010 2:32:43 PM

MaximaDrvr, townhouse or SFH?

4/2/2010 2:53:50 PM

Took a few pictures after moving in. Lots of stuff I want to do but, still happy to finally get in:

Shutters need painting...and not blue


We love the kitchen, but the counters have to get updated at some point for sure and ill put in a tile backsplash at that point as well


and the floors as well...tile or hardwood, havent decided in the kitchen area yet. Definitely plan to replace that light fixture and at some point replace that door.


yard needs work, but the lot is great. sits up high in the back of the neighborhood and even though we are 15 mins from downtown, the view from here looks like we are much farther out because they kept so many trees


One of the other things we loved about the house was the fact that it was 4bdr/3bath and still had a great bonus room (that I will turn into a media room)




Will definitely be taking more pictures after we paint, replace light fixtures, get more furniture etc.

^^^nice. We are aiming to have a house-warming part by July (moved in 6 weeks ago) We are both just working too much right now but we still want to get hardwood floors down, put up a lot of trim, furnish the library and dining room, and do a lot more painting before we have a bunch of people over. Basically finish the first floor haha. I just don't want to turn out like one of my friends who had his house-warming part 9 months after moving in

Article in the local Post and Courier (Charleston paper) about my house. Good before and after picture. He's putting in the countertops and appliances this week. Can't wait to get in this house and start to furnish it.

And here's a little blurb about me:

"And he's got a contract to sell it to a young lawyer for about four times what he paid for it -- a contract expected to close early next month. "

5/24/2010 12:32:40 PM

^damn, 4 times?

5/24/2010 12:36:10 PM

240k?

not bad at all

5/24/2010 12:41:03 PM

He bought the house for $60,000. It was unliveable and the city was about to tear it down. He completely rebuilt it (which cost him a fortune), and I'm buying it for $230,000.

It's downtown Charleston. Its one of the more expensive zip codes in the Southeast.

here's the dining room we finshed a few weeks ago!


and i FINALLY got around to painting the hallway blue (it was this gross dingy-orange color) and then i surprised cody and JT by letting them finish it

plz ignore the electrical receptacle thingeys and the air filter cover. we're gonna switch those out entirely










going to bed has been a blast every night

oh my god

5/24/2010 1:02:50 PM

that. is. awesome.

5/24/2010 1:03:08 PM

I would assume he put at least $100k in to it.... right?

That would be a safe assumption. He was able to save a few things from the old house, but not much. I would hope he's making at least 50K off this house.

5/24/2010 1:05:51 PM

i still cant make the jump from the question mark up to the 1-up to get to the warp zone...its tough

5/24/2010 1:21:33 PM

I love you guys.

Holy shit dude...your obsessive trolling of me is very very sad.

5/24/2010 3:30:29 PM

^so you'd rather live in Charleston than Whiteville. wtf Hope you enjoy it. I'm sure you've worked hard to get where you are today.
