GREASER

As a homeowner if they get hurt at your house, you arent liable. Talked to a lawyer already. Vertigo, Resendez is a good example, but so is the preppy killer, nice looking white guy....you have to be careful of everyone. Point is, use common sense and be careful around everyone. When talking to these guys, I explain my friends are scared of using day lab. for fear of robbery..they usually ask some questions and get to insert what I would do if a caught one trying to rob me.

I have checked them out too...they (the inside blower unit) all look like a cheap motel to me. It doesnt look any better than a window unit.

mahogany panels from Clarkes Hardwood in the Heights. 4 coats of amber shellac. They look awesome....pics dont do them justice. We bought a walnut sheet and mahogany sheet, and experimented before coming up with the final finish.

what...they let them in the house...noooooo....not even the bathroom. They use the bushes at the back of the lot...maybe TMI, but I would never let them in the house.

first panel up, but super happy with the look second panel..sorry about the color..it isnt this dark

if there was a desk, then there would also be some lazy ass buis. person getting a peice of the pie. This is free market. They dont have to work, you throw out a price and see how many want to work. Some will work for 6hr, and some will just laugh if you offer them less than 8. In all honesty though, I have though about pimpin mine out for 15/hr...

I use day laborers all the time..but not to do anything skilled..digging, cleanup, thats really about it. I have one I use weekly to help...works as hard as I do and things get done twice as fast. I would never let them do something skilled, only cause I dont know them. My wife doesnt have to help which eliminates any screaming matches that may incur. It is bad though...my wife cant go to the home store by herself. The laborers USUALLY ( I had one lazy one) work their butt off, and for the money I pay, I commend them for it. I have yet to meet one illegal...if not citizens, they are here on a visitors pass.

whens the open house?

plastic fencing looks like...plastic.

its your home...you can do what you want. I rewired my kitchen and a few rooms. just dont call an inspector

looking at the wood deck, I see a small square cut out in the middle...guessing this is a pump to remove water. I would put in a small square catch basin with a pump that turns on when it fills up....you can use 1 3/4 pvc and run it to another part of the yard or street. I am using one now and it works wonders

Boesch and Danny McShane (seemed to be the house referee)were friends when they were performers themselves...The old tapes of Boesch wrestling are kinda funny. Neither guys were big, even as I kid I thought they were kinda small.

Bosch was an awesome promotor and showman. I remember the line every week "if you have heart problems, please dont come next week"..that was obviously the hint that I HAD to be there. He actually paid his performers unlike many in his day, and didint base it on attendance. Many of the guys promoted their own buisness..like Tinger Conway Jr and the fence Co. Bull Ramos and his wrecker service. I saw MM on there his first time and thought it was a joke...they used that to introduce new wrestlers...but nothing ever happened, he just showed up every week promoting the buisness

mmm, but look around it...there are a few of those shapes...more likely trailers (singlewide), mobile home...whatever they are called. There is one still there in the later pics.

silverfox is correct...call murff turff..a pallet of sod it is 75$, or wait a while and the big box stores will have it, but its twice the price.

This house was the perfect compomise between the wife and I ...traditional in the front and mcm in the back...kinda like a mullet, buis in the front and party out back. My idea was a small wood wall with horizontal slats at a 45 degree angle..would end up looking like jalouse (sp?) windows. Then I could carry that idea onto the side fencing.

http://www.lottaliving.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=14009 I realize many here are on the lottaliving site under another name. I hate posting the same stuff on different forums, so ck it out if you get a chance...my front yard needs help

700 sq foot house was 1200.00..I can almost promise they will try to see you a extra beam...they all do. It is very easy and almost embarassing when I saw how it was done.

Harvard Heights is busy doing easy and close jobs. Quoted 25k for a 2 story 24x24 shell. When I wanted a simple 10k garage, I was "too far away" for them. I live just outside the loop on the south side..guess lumber prices over here was the breaking point

I got prices on my demo and they were expensive....my suggesition is, rent a dumpster for 265$ a day. They drop off and pick the dumpster up. 3 day laborers at 10hr. That should get it done in one day. Qotes for a 2 car garage would be about 2k without slab removal. 60lb jack hammer is 60$day.

Marmer...spill the beans...how are you associated with this house? I cant see anything being developed here. It really reminds me of growing up in Channelview, which isnt a bad thing, just not something I would ever repeat. Just remembered, when we were driving thru there were alot of mobile homes (trailers) all over the place...so its a long term gamble. Pearland is obviously developing in another direction and leaving this area behind.

Would 3 acres in Sharpestown help. The area looks the same.

we drove the area and its very industrial and the houses around it are cheap rundown houses from the 70`s. I have lived in some bad areas, but this is bad and depressing.

Volcanoes in the Village, Alabama ice house, catch a happy hour show at the Continental Club.

it appears there is brown grime on everything from the ol school monitor to the walls. I cant even see the front to see what style it is.
