I’m in the same boat. I’m finishing up a brand new house. At least you only have her saying, “Let’s paint it this color, the trim this color, etc.” My girlfriend was running around saying, “Put this wall here. Then I can do this…” I also had the whole picking out showers, sinks, flooring, etc.
Ya I just bought a house in like sept of last year. We redid the kitchen and bathroom and changed around a few small things, painted every room in the house. Now this year I am spending all my $$ on small things such as privacy fence, strom doors, door trim… So for now at least the ws.6 doesnt get any mods :crying: …anyways enough bitching, congrats on the new house
congrats on the house…too many ppl watch trading spaces and all those shows, and have no clue as to what they are doing, think “oh that looks so easy i can do that” and just start doing shit pell mell, and then it looks like ass… hahahaha I hope your home doesn’t end up like one of the shows that ends out w/ the owner hating the place…good luck!
I just finished redoing my basement. Tore walls down to concrete, tore up floor, tore down celing. I then built new walls, ran new wiring, put up celing, put in new floor, painted etc… What a pain in the ass. If you need anything let me know.
that’s how its done, not slapping a coat of paint on like TV! Man, i’m glad i still have a year or two before the newness of the home wears off and my girl has me running around like you guys! :hs:
FYI: If you’re going to build your own house…make sure your friends will stick with you throughout the entire project. Note: I framed, plumbed, and ran the electric for my interior myself. I don’t do drywall, though. Anyone know any good finishers? I have someone hanging it.
I got flooded last september and was worried about mold, so I tore it down and started over. It was a pain but now I know it’s done right.
I actually like doing housework like this. a crowbar, a sawzall, and a hammer can be a lot of fun with a few beers and a basement that needs taken apart.
I am dreading building our new house. Hubby is a contractor, owns his own business, we can build the house for like 1/3 of the cost b/c we self perform most of the work thru his business…except the electric and hvac…get all the materials for cost…BUT…it means him living the job 24-7 till it’s done. :scared: Which makes hubby very cranky. The house we are in now, he bought it as a fixer upper 8 years ago…it’s STILL not done…I am banking on it being done the day before we move out lol
ryan homes has some sick ass offers now a days. they’re literally so good… i don’t know how they stay insured bc it’s insane the amount of money they’ll let you finance. it’s a sick ass deal. my boys building a home for 375 and it’ll be worth 550 when he’s done and he’s put $500 down. fucking insane! he told me the ins and outs and it’s definitely how i will build my first home.
I’d do it, but I don’t have time. My mom’s foundation caved in under a porch so my house takes a back burner. I’ve been knocking out block, and I’m redoing the walls with insulated concrete forms.
this is the stuff im guessing i will be seeing her… “TRY” hehe… this house was allready remodeled… 3 yrs ago… but she wants to play… and you know what they say about women… just say! ok… sure… yeah… looks good! haha only room i will not let her touch is the living room… thats my area…
hahahaha I hope your home doesn’t end up like one of the shows that ends out w/ the owner hating the place…good luck!
