Well, I’m not well known here, but am more active here now than I am on Roclife. I finally took the plunge today and signed my life away. Got myself a nice little 3br 1ba in Johnson City, NY, which is basically part of Binghamton. Mostly redone inside, with room to improve on the outside. Been living in it for 5 days now and I am extremely happy with it, but also have a large to-do list from it.
I do have to say, the threads of other’s projects have been very helpful.
And here are some pictures for those interested…
First, the outside of the house. I mowed, weeded, added the solar lights
Then there is the garage, with all three cars present.
The whole package:
Partial view in the garage:
Middle bay money shot (still needs to be cleaned out)
It’s illegal to build a new one, and frowned upon by banks and insurance agencies, but this one has survived. Already used it to help replace the AC compressor on the Previous owner’s F150 when it died out front.
Here is the backyard, which is Maddy’s (the dog)
Ok, now for the interior
Here is the living room with the temp furniture. We are getting the Martin sofa collection from Raymour and Flanigan incase you want to see what will be in there.
Here is the Dining Room.
And the kitchen, which is a mess from dinner, and Laura and the girl she tutors
And finally the basement. All the drywall will come out, and in time something new will go in there.
SO there it is. As of 4:30 today, it’s finally mine. And it actually ended up costing less than expected for closing, so that was good.
Now hopefully I can follow some of the projects people here have posted about (decks anyone?)
