Well, this here be my personal Usenet's blog of sorts, if ya don't like it...well I can go and fuck yer mom if you want, just post the bitch's number, I'll handle it. In annoying news my gawd damn brakes went to shit and now I have to have the master cylinder in my Oldsmobeater replaced if I wanna keep driving it, so that's gonna set me back about $200. In positive news it looks like I shall be the owner of a house come February. I made an offer on this one semi-run down jobby for $80,000, they countered back at around $80,600 so I told 'em that was acceptable. It's three bedroom, two bath, with a large storage shed thing in the back (which has electricity). They've got peeps renting it right now though so we're going to give them a month to move out and then have a final walk through/inspection (to make sure the renters didn't wreck the joint) and then if all is good, I shall sign the closing papers. The structure is sound, but the rest really does need gutted and redone room by room. It's livable, but not exactly up to my standards in its present state. So it'll take a lot of work in fixing it up, but that's okay, I kinda wanted to get a fixer upper opportunity. Needs a lot of yard work too, but at least it has a yard (a big one at that) with lots of backyard space too. It's also got this car port thing which is pretty much a garage except it doesn't have a garage door on it. If I wind up getting it I plan to setup a site for it, where I'll go through and take a ton of pictures of it in its present state and then take more pictures as I start fixing it up to kind of show the progression/transformation. I think I'll also include some how-to stuff on there as well, like how to put up dry-wall, insulation, how to do the electrical stuff, etc. Should be pretty fun and when I'm done the house will be worth substantially more than what I bought it for. -- Onideus Mad Hatter mhm ? x ? http://www.backwater-productions.net http://www.backwater-productions.net/hatter-blog Hatter Quotes ------------- "You're only one of the best if you're striving to become one of the best."

Nothing beats home ownership even if it does require a shitload of responsibility. The best advice I could give you is don't skimp on your tools. If you have to do a lot of work, don't buy the shitty stuff, you will regret it. Mikita is my brand of choice, but my house is new so I don't need the heavy duty stuff. I just have a set of Ryobi cordless tools which work well for small jobs, but wouldn't be suitable for drywalling an entire house or something. The drill is pretty good though, and the cordless is handy when you move from room to room hanging blinds and stuff. -- Babies, before were're done here, y'all be wearing gold plated diapers - Christopher Walken as Bruce Dickensonn

I've been in this house for over 10 years now, it was a fixer upper, now it is finally at the point when it is pretty much done. Note, it will take twice as long and twice as much money as you expect, no matter how thoroughly you spec out any given part of the project, in an older house there *will* be surprises, under nearly every bit of plaster ro wall board you remove etc. If your house has been owned by do it yourselfers before, some of those surprises get scary. Also check (anonymously) with your local code enforcement people before you buy, some areas of the States do not even allow homeowners to to basic plumbing/electrical work without hiring a pro, all it takes is one nosey neighbour and the code people can really ruin your day. Most important though, have fun. -- Lits Slut #9 Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.

A nice example of that is a pipe cutter. If you need to cut one pipe and that's all you are likely to ever do, just buy the $3 cheap ass one and throw it away afterwards.
