> [@ieatpaint](#): > > Some updating and you’ll have a real nice house, congrats. I agree with everyone else that you picked a good one, having those recent items taken care of. Don’t paint the walls semi-gloss. What do you recommend? I have some painting to do as well. ---

Matte (washable flat) or eggshell. Satin in the baffrooms. Unless you want to ball out and get Benjamin Moore’s Aura Bath and Spa. It’s a matte finish made for high moisture bathrooms and is the only paint available that won’t get those nasty brownish colored streaks on the walls. ---

That paint is awesome. Well worth the price. ---

> [@Matt Danger](#): > > Congrats! > > You did it right. Buy something ugly as fuck but with newer mechanicals/roof/driveway. These are the big ticket items you won’t have to deal with and you can customize the other things to suit your taste. Exactly! great deal man! Believe me “modding” a house is way more fun than modding a car! and if you do it right you can turn a 65k grandma house into a nice 85k+ house in just a half a year and some hard work ---

If you don’t have an easy way to pull them out it’s actually not hard to saw them off at the base then dig them out. The root balls are pretty small. I dug out 5 last fall in under an hour. ---

Sometimes you get lucky and can dig them out by hand(well a shovel lol), or cut them as someone else mentioned and they will pull out. other times they’re a bitch and you have to get a truck lol. ---
