:tup: Josh. Enjoy the modding. Your old desk is still holding up well even after a year of COd/CS abuse.

A HOA that does all of that is a little too far reaching for my tastes.

newer black civic with dark tints? i think i recall.

Saw the e46 yesterday, he drove by slowly looking at mine. How old is he?. Several Bills and Sabres players are there. Marshawn parked infront of my place the other day to hangout with who ever lives across the street from me. He pulled up in his 70’ish Cutlass with the beats popping…my 2y.o. boy goes up to him and says “vroooom vrooom! race car!”

I’ve been living vicariously through my buddy, hooking him up with some sweet stuff so i can get my home modding fix. I was very anti-NYS-homeowner, but justified it to myself when i decided to make it a rental. I’ve been saving my pennies to build a house i designed when i move south.

potential new-build lot:

much needed!

> Congrats as well and thought you had a house as well. If so that would be as weird 1st investment property. I know you’re very smart so I’m sure there is a good reason behind it. Now find me 10 apt size stoves please!!!

yeah, this is the first. The location yields good monthly rental rates which will more then pay for my mortgage and taxes. I have tons of stoves…but deal with mostly high-end brands now. I do have a shit-ton of stackable apartment sized washer and dryers though at good prices.

somewhat agreed if i were to live there long term, but it’s perfect for a rental when i’ll be living 800 miles away.

the only shot of the exterior i have. the interior is a mess as i just moved all my stuff in. The master bed/bath will be in the basement, but i’m in the middle of doing all the work…so yeah, it’s a mess.

im remodling one now in clarence…  
HOA are such fucking pain in the asses  
exterior lights have to go thru the “board”, colors for the house… everything. It’s extremely retarded.  
its kind of surprising people buy these brand new, and then remodel the whole thing like 3 years later lol.

atleast your house has a full size driveway in it. the one im working at now cant even fit an expedition in the driveway lol

congrats

A nice little place on the water, I can see it now

There’s LAFENGAS and his wife, contemplating where the MG42 goes. “Honey, I’d really prefer concentina wire over barbed, better feng shui”
