  1. the colors on the underpass are tacky and trashy...not sure what they were trying to accomplish..is this the citys attempt to say welcome to the east end? Reminds of when my neighbor painted his garge pink and green...he said it matched his brick.ha
  2. I can almost promise it has wood underneath...mine did, and about 98% just needed a good scraping and repaint. If the original siding was removed, they would still have to put a substrate down (plywood), so removing it kinda defeats the purpose.
  3. I have used those blocks before...not a real deck I guess...but its a 12x12 deck for my dogs. I only used 1 at each corner and they are ok. The dogs have a combined weight of 150lbs. For a deck like yours, I would build up a small base for each peir with gravel, use 2x12 for perimeter and you should be ok. I built my deck in less than 1 hr (with a nail gun).
  4. Carmax offers the highest price...a dealer may make a better offer, but only if the can cash in on another facet of the deal. Why are you wanting to get rid of it? Financial or mileage problems?
  5. We drove the hood looking at houses and was very impressed with lot size and variety of houses.
  6. that house is very nice....a good coat of paint and that would be a model house for the area.
  7. how deep WAS the bayou? How deep is it now...I just cant imagine a ship (I imagine more of a small boat) would go down the bayou...I realize it has changed some, but damn, deep enough to conceal a ship?
  8. Yes it helps. I currently live in 77023 and really need to move...just not sure where to go. Kingwood looks the best but the damn drive is a killer. Unfortuntely my housing budget is around 240 and under. I am dying for an older house (50-70s) just not sure where to go...we may have kids shortly so schools are important.
  9. tried to search but didnt see anything...we are trying to move out of the east end to a place with better schools. A friend said the schools are really good in the area, but I didnt see anything to support on har. Is this a nice neighborhood, or ghetto? I love the mods over there, but also notice prices are a little low...what gives?
  10. Rory was a good friend and I will miss him...he was big around town in the live music scene...especially in the rockabilly and country circles. Never had a bad thing to say and was the life of the party.
  11. I have finally decided to put up some pics...I have alot of art, but no frames..I want something nice..not sure that includes ikea. Target didnt have anything. Looking to keep it under 100. for largest (30x20. Please tell me where to go.
  12. These pics along with alot more can be seen at Baytown Historic museum
  13. Benjis is what I was thinking...if everyone else is like me, I need a place that I could just leave without feeling weird. A sitdown dinner or lunch is such a commitment. How can you go wrong at Volcano with the frozen scredrivers?
  14. Musicman..mkt square is terrible during happy hr....parking is a b!tch. The Volcano has a awesome tiki bar that has huge tables (but most stand) and it would be very easy for someone to just leave if they werent having a good time. What the bar behind Nit Noi in the village that kinda has mod decor? That would be great as well...I really dont think its hard to pick people out that are on the HAIF..one picked me out at the store, and the ones I have met just look like I imagined someone on the HAIf would look.
  15. ya that prob. the last place you would want to get wood
  16. We are soon to be painting the exterior of the house (standard 1939 2 story) for resale..currently the house is yellow with bright white trim. I picked the colors from a sherwinn williams card that had them grouped together...the big question is should I use a off white color? I have NEVER seen another house with bright white trim. I think it looks great, but I dont seem to have the same taste of the majority. Oh ya...I also had bright white trim in interior and softened it up and it looks ALOT nicer.
  17. I am trying to figure out what is normal to pay for a house..one article I remember said you should be able to afford 3x your annual salary. Thats total payment, not just principle and taxes. Is this the norm? I cant afford that and just wondering if maybe my spending is out of whack.
  18. I have a good friend that lives here and the plans do seem to be on hold. Rumors were flying about owners health, but seems to be ok. They were told they at some point they would have to move fairly quickly. He also says the neighborhood is getting worse..not sure how that could be though.
  19. Heres the deal, I had a similiar prob., and there are enough disclaimers in the inspection paper work that you really have no recourse. I did call and delicate flower and let them know I contacted a lawyer and was taking them to court (didnt really have one), and they were very helpful after that. They were mire than happy to state the owner knew about problems and werent propery disclosed. Then you can go back on the owners/
  20. pier and slab and used alot on high end houses...they were used on alot in Meyerland.
  21. True, but you have to eat alot of crap to make that pound. Easiest thing is look at things that arent processed....the less man has done with it, the better it is for the most part. Frozen vegetables and frozen chicken breast are a staple with me. Fast food is a treat for weekends. I do cardio for 20 min every other day...I also take supplements, I am 40 and the older you get the harder it is. You may want to mention it to your dr. and see if he can give you anything
  22. burn more calories than you take in...isnt that easy. Excercise and dont eat alot of crap.
  23. Sounds stupid but I often drink that lime flavored mex water when I am dying to have a beer. What about like everclear? Is that the same process??? Or in Russia they just drink hairspray
  24. if your buying it from lowes or homedepot, have it delivered...its only 25 bucks and they unload it
