    I think the new Accord coupe is an attractive car. Too bad they aren't putting RWD or AWD underneath it. FWD sucks.

    Westbury is hidden? Wha? I would consider maybe Garden Villas or Shepherd Forest to be hidden....

    It is pretty horrendous. Bad choice of colors and styles.

    Yours aren't nearly as bad as this one. I think my biggest complaint about your houses is that your kitchen cabs look like the ones you can buy off the shelf at Home Despot, even though they're custom.

    The house itself looks pretty cool but the "rehab" is an abomination! The Reagan administration called...they want their antique brass flush mount cheap-o Wal-Mart ceiling fans back. I don't care if the stove is a Jenn Air (which isn't that good in the first place) whoever did the install needs to get a clue....its sticking out and it looks like there's a big gap to the side of it. What's up with the faucets in the bathroom? Those single lever jobbies look like something out of a motel. Then that drop in bathtub...as a shower? LEAK CITY! The tub surround will be full of mold and rotten wood in 5 years or less.

    Well...it looks like its made by somebody called Fordon. See if you can't find the same thing locally and take a look at it in person. I ordered a rug from Overstock....the first one that came in, I wasn't pleased with. The second one I was quite pleased with.

    I am ALL ABOUT Macy's Warehouse and the Finger Clearance basement place. Not all of it is scratch and dent...some of it is discontinued or overstocked stuff in perfect condition but at a discount from retail.

    Yes. Bastards at the cable company....

    Was it broadcast in HD? I think they're in the middle of a switchover/consolidation at the station, and they're broadcasting the same signal from their HD digital and analog transmitters. I recorded this show from the HD channel, and about 2 seconds in it downconverted from HD to SD. Not a lot of coverage of the Chapel or Houston.

    Looks like a good house as long as it hasn't been the victim of a bad remuddler...the shots of the kitchen make me worry, but its hard to say given the low resolution. Houses over there seem to have been built to last, but if somebody has done a hackjob on it, then you're looking at some major issues to fix down the road.

    Suburbia is even worse. There's TONS of empty land to build more houses on just up the road. The mindset of most buyers in suburbia is something like this....why buy an old used house when I can get a new one just up the road?

    You just need to keep renting if you're only going to be in it for a year. You're either going to waste money on rent, or you're going to waste money paying closing costs and commission to fluffy bunnys. You're not going to get enough appreciation in a year, espescially in a NEW construction condo where you can't do anything to add value to cover the expenses of buying. If you're just hell bent on buying, find some terrible dump of a condo that you can get for under market, fix it up, and maybe....MAYBE make a little bit of profit on when you sell.

    Indeed. It is now Kaplan's BenFlattened.

    Are you shatting me?!?!

    Clematis? Gasmer? Who comes up with these street names?

    Is this the house on Parkwood shown above? http://search.har.com/engine/dispSearch.cfm?mlnum=2020988

    As I suspected, it was ripped off from this government site. The original:

    Interesting. I've nearly ALWAYS seen them in kitchens in houses.

    OF COURSE the roaches were on the food prep areas....because that's where the food is. Roaches don't like to hang out in the living room and watch TV...they live and crap indiscriminately in the KITCHEN because that's where the food is.

    Wow. I knew I had heard Marvin rattle off their name, but I forgot that their problem was ROACHES everywhere....I thought it was something more tame like slime in the ice machine.
  21. jm1fd
    They were, unfortunately, on the rat and roach report a while back.

    Wow. That book is going for $150+ online.

    Okay...either you need a new keyboard, Or yOu neED to lEArn wHen to use the sHIFt keY.....

    I thought those two items were keepers as well. The paneling didn't look like the standard issue, loud and tacky knotty pine...looked like some sort of expensive-ish hardwood in fact.

    Good question...the install process is pretty messy and labor intensive....lots and lots of grinding of the floor to get it nice and smooth and pretty. Repair...would probably involve grinding in the repaired sections, but it may be a total delicate flower trying to match the color & aggregate size of the original.
