Looks nice. Damn. Hoping you’d need work done. As a contractor, we carry a universal key. It has a handle. ---

HAHA you guys are so funny. I got the keys!!! Got some work done and also realized how much work is to be done. The house is located by harlem and seneca. I already bought a new garage door opener and a fresh set of cordless power tools. Replaced a few outlets throughout, hung new blinds in the bedroom, blew up my new bathroom, drank a few beers and decided enough was enough. I have alot of hack jobs to repair. The electrical in the basement is a disaster, the garage needs some love inside, Im getting new appliances delivered, and the carport sheathing is made of OSB and it is expanded like a motherfucker. I am having my buddy come look at the driveway next week since it is pitted and destroyed in a few spots. ---

I think once I move in and get comfortable it will feel good. These next few nights in my apartment are going to drive me nuts. ---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ---------- BTW I also had Ultima taco for the first time tonight considering its within walking distance of my house and I love it!

Actually I do! how much, you can call/txt me on my number below. I’m going to buy a shop vac tomorrow, this house is disgusting! The garage is getting a very thorough cleaning tomorrow as well as the basement. You know your getting old when your super pumped to install a new garage door opener. ---

> [@honda4life](#): > > Creep much? Yah, asking what area a newly purchased house is in is real creepy. Good luck with your projects. My older brother bought a house a few years ago, and it seems like quite the addicting process fixing/ adding new things until you’re satisfied. I’ll be on the search myself in the next year or so. ---

I’m over on seneca creek, not to far from ya. If you need a snow blower I have an old school toro 524 with a 2 year old 5hp briggs/stratton that im thinking about selling. Real cheap, talking like $150-$175. Its ugly but it does the job. Had no problem clearing the 3ft we got from that big storm last year.
