Dam! Ever see TV show, Everybody Loves Raymond?
Inlaws live across the street there....

Of course, the good part is that y'all would have a baby sitter for those all nighter parties y'all go to!
ohhh.. and the extra food....

naturaltan · 08-12-2004, 09:25 AM

... well, as expected, that house was the nicest and we really liked it. http://www.mls.ca/PropertyDetails.as...ertyID=2629892
We put a bid on it. I seemed to have most everything we wanted with the exception of room to put a pool table in. We have our fingers crossed. The original offering didn't include the brand new fridge/stove/dishwasher but we added them in. They did include 2 1905 washers and slightly newer 1906 dryers ...

Those would be replaced almost immediately if things go right.

Burner02 · 08-12-2004, 04:07 PM

Dang! THat is a nice looking house!
1905 washer and dryers? Do they have electricity?

I'm about to make a coupe calls to a lender and one of clients now...
good luck with your offer!
How's the back yard looking? Big? Treed?
You could be like Drew Carey..and put the pool table in the back yard..

naturaltan · 08-12-2004, 04:31 PM

B ... quick update ... we've got a verbal agreement to the offer ... tomorrow they should sign and stuff will happen.

The backyard is ok ... although I plan to make it very homey

PreMier · 08-12-2004, 05:10 PM

Congrats NT! Thats awesome! Post pics on your site, I want to see the yard

EDIT: Fawk, I lost the link! PM me it again plz

Burner02 · 08-13-2004, 07:13 AM

suh-weet!
Man, you don't mess around, do you? I wish I could find clients like you!
Bada bing, bada boom. I could do SO much business!

Well, I was thinking of you yesterday as I wsa struggling to hoist my fat butt up to do reps on my pull ups....I'm still working on 50 reps within 5 sets, so I can start adding weights again! I dunno how many I did yesterday, but it was short, adn well over 5 sets..

Guess I just keep hammering away on it!

naturaltan · 08-13-2004, 10:28 AM

thanks Prem ... after 9 years in the same apartment, it will be great to have ALL this room.

I am re-thinking my website design, but once we take possession (which will be the 17th of Sept) I will take pics of the house and yard and post them. If you have any ideas when you see the pics, let me know - I'm a virgin house owner.

Ummm ... after seeing your yard, mine is nothing like yours and probably won't be.

Do you get snow where you live? I see waterfalls and such in your lush green backyard. We could put on here, but I'm guessing it would require draining for the winter ... like we have to now do with our sprinkler system. So many more things to do with a house ...

Now I hang with my stepdad and father in law at the local Revy/Home Depot Saturdays buying useless-but-got-to-have garage fillers.

have you bought your 'weed whacker' yet? That is important!

PreMier · 08-13-2004, 05:11 PM

Yea NT, it snows a shitload. Last year, I didnt shovel my deck and the snow was almost as tall as me! lol

P.S. I need the link to your site! I remember the name, but cant guess what went at the end..

Burner02 · 08-14-2004, 05:43 AM

I thought the snow melted fast there as it does here, Jake-
Kinda funny about Colorado: It will be blizzarding and misreable for a couple days, three days after, it is sunny and nice, the snow is more or less gone and everybody is out washing their cars!

PreMier · 08-15-2004, 02:32 PM

Hey Mike, yea it melts fairly quick.. well sometimes. We have the weirdest weather here. You can never count on anything! lol

Burner02 · 08-16-2004, 03:40 AM

This whole summer has been bizare. It has rained alot here. (which is badly needed)
I am only hoping it is this wet come winter! I wanna shred! Hopefully, I will be able to afford a season pass this year.

Wow ... so do you have a lot of spring time 'tune up' type work to keep it looking as fabulous as it does? I showed my wife a couple of pics and she was floored. She loved it.

My website addy is www.stevespad.com

PreMier · 08-16-2004, 05:03 PM

Yea, we have a willow tree that always breaks/sheds branches when it snows. The other trees do fine, but you do need to go out, and shake the snow off of them. Other than that the rose bushes are the only thing that needs trimmed. The ground cover(dont have grass) takes care of itself. It has been super dry and hot here lately, and that means that none of the flowers are in bloom. Maybe come fall, they will bloom again

If so I can post more pics.

Im such a dumb ass... I was spelling it Stephenspad.com

My mother wanted me to spell it that way too ... she says "Your name is Stephen, not Steven" ... and then gives me the

What do you mean you have no grass? What is the ground cover? Yeah ... if you could, post more pics please.

Jill · 08-17-2004, 11:19 AM

My mans name is StePHen too. Stephen with a ph was voted the most attractive mans name a few years ago.

I heard it from him numerous times

ANy word on the house??? How exciting!

naturaltan · 08-17-2004, 11:26 AM

We take possession Sept.17th. We went looking at sofas last night. After looking, we left with a sofa, loveseat, coffee table, end table and a dining set.

It's very exciting for us. After being in the same apartment for 9 years, the additional space of the house will be great!

Jill · 08-17-2004, 11:27 AM

Where did you buy em from? Sofa land has some nice stuff, thats where we bought our couches from...leather. I hate them

naturaltan · 08-17-2004, 01:34 PM

from the Brick. We looked at leather, but it was a bit pricey for us. Although, had we bought an entire $3500 leather sofa package, we could have gotten a free 52" TV. I really put some thought to that. We could have had a 52" TV upstairs in the main room and a 52" downstairs in the future bar.

naturaltan · 08-17-2004, 01:50 PM

The house pic is from the realty site. Once we get possession, I will take pics of the inside and backyard.

yellowmoomba · 08-17-2004, 01:57 PM

naturaltan · 08-17-2004, 02:07 PM

Thanks YM.

My short term goal is to make the backyard similar to Prems.

Burner02 · 08-17-2004, 04:12 PM

You don't like leather? I have the greatest black leather, sectional couch on the planet!
It has FOUR reclines AND two drink holders!

Hey NT! Sounds like y'all are having fun w' this! That is awesome! I bet you'll be so happy after the whole process of closing and then moving in is over, you'll be able to sit back, look over your domain and say: This is MINE!
When I bought my place I too went looking for couches and such. I quickly racked up well over 5g worth of furniture for my little pad....didn't buy any of it..but I have a heck-uva wish list!
