well, from a perspective of cats not doing their own version of thunderdome at 2am, it will be nice to have a slab.
granted, it's my fault for not putting screens on the access points.

Oh I am vigilant about checking and closing off all access points. I guess that was learned from my folks.
Someone convince me there is some benefit to slab other than cost. |

USGS flood maps say it's outside of a 500 year floodplain, just barely (like 2 houses down is). if you're familiar with East Houston, the home is in Idylwood, the neighborhood was established in the 30s and has a bayou bordering on the east side. The neighborhood had some homes bought out by the city after Ike from flooding, but none from Harvey, and the homes bought were right next to the bayou. the home is at least 6' elevation over the street, and the street slopes pretty aggressively towards the bayou. the street and driveway elevation difference actually have me concerned for parking my BRZ in the driveway without scraping everything, I think it will be OK, I'll just have to take it at an angle. |

Funny, we just ripped all of the copper out of our house and had it re-plumbed with CPVC. Did the inspector double-check to make sure all of the knob-tube wiring is removed? I've seen where someone has the house 'rewired' but the contractor didn't feel like opening part of the wall, so they ran new romex up as far as the y could, then used the old **** to bridge to the next area and picked it up with new wire again. Seen it with old rag-tail wiring too. Usually, the new wire goes up to a junction box under the outlet, then they tie into the old crap which goes the 2' up into the wall to the outlet. |

Trying to find a house in Ohio,almost had one but they countered just above what we were comfortable with. It sold for 30k over list. Trying to be patient in an impatient market.

When I bought a house, I did not look at its condition, I assessed it superficially. I do not know how to convey my stupidity through a message. There were a lot of problems with the house. Which I didn't notice. Moreover, my friends advised me to look at more available houses. Because of my laziness, I didn't do it. But I came across honest sellers who immediately came and sorted out all the problems. This moment makes me believe that the world is full of honest people

Anyways, saw a facebook listing shared by one of my FB friends for a place in texas (I'm in oregon). It was exactly what I am looking for. 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2200+ sq ft house on decent sized lot for... $239k. That exact house would go for $500-600k in this area. Still not worth living in Texas though! EDIT: Similar listing in the same area. Even cheaper as it's more of a fixer. https://www.realtor.com/realestatean...4_M81446-10497 Last edited by flat_tire; 04-20-2021 at 06:36 PM. |

West-Central Idaho remains an interesting place, with interesting Real Estate opportunities:
https://www.realtor.com/realestatean...4_M27265-14000 I could live on the side of a hill, and have a boat that overlooks the road below This one wouldn't be bad, but def needs some TLC https://www.realtor.com/realestatean...0_M14675-31762 |

homeowner: I don't want the extra money. I mean, do they think people want to buy a house that looks like that? people want to buy a home in a state that speaks maximum potential, not maximum depression. |

On a related note, ufgh. 8 foot ceilings? I swear I will never buy another place with 8-ft ceilings after living in early 20th century home. It's fine for a starter type house, but I can't see myself long term in a place with low ceilings. |
