Thursday Revistited
In a stunning turn of events, everything I said on Thursday is complete horse shit. I now present you with a revised version of Thursdays news...
-
Well, here's one way to get rid of psychotic neighbors... Buy the house out from under them!
The shit hole across the street went on the market Monday as a court ordered probate sale, and after about 5 minutes of deliberation, The Missus decided to put in a strong offer. Un Fortunately she didn't get got it, which means that I'll still be I won't be doing as much freelancing this fall. I was am secretly totally looking forward to doing another full time rehab project and gutting the damn place. I even went out to the garage and took an inventory of my power tools AGAIN! But alas, it was not to be and It was so meant to be but I must reluctantly save the sledgehammer for another day closing day.
On the bright side - someone else (a contractor, we think) bought couldn't buy the house so we'll still get to wave buh bye to those losers and hopefully see personally turn the place move from shit hole to nice house.
It's all good... So good!
Woohoo! Congrats. What are you gonna do with the place once you're done re-habbing? Live there or sell it?

Congrats and a big old woot woot - but I'm with Keith, the question needs to be asked...you're not just going to let your cats live there, are ya? You're not old enough to be all crazy an' shit like that. Yet. :^)

Hey - congrats on being real estate moguls. That's so hot.
Is that your new 'guest' house?

Sounds like you and missus are on your way to becoming land barons. I say you add hot tubs and webcams and rent it out during Dinah Shore week.
Posted by: Robyn at September 22, 2003 08:10 AMthe question needs to be asked...you're not just going to let your cats live there, are ya?
Damn - And I just was gonna buy on of those double wide freezers too. Now my cover is blown. Thanks Keith.
Uh, no. We might be insane, but we're not cat hoarders (shaddup). The plan is to fix and flip. Unless of course it turns out we want to live there instead of here. But that move is going to be a bitch!
Time will tell. The neighbors have been served and they are none too happy about it. We're keeping a low profile until they are gone. (30 days)
And trust me. I am sure that there will be plenty of discussion and photos posted here about our progress. In fact I might do a little annex site for the rehab.
And Robyn? That isn't a bad idea... Hmmm...
Posted by: MJ at September 22, 2003 08:26 AMMurphy said it best. "Shit Hot" I think I'm going to have to steal that phrase! lol.
That's great that you got it! So happy for you! How often I have dreamed of doing the same thing to my neighbors house, burning it to the ground and installing a greenhouse and swimming pool. hee hee hee :)
Oh, and GG wants us to move into your house across the street. :) We'd be perfect! We're friendly, quiet, lovable, we mind our bidness and you get a free lifetime supply of (my brother's recipe) Texas barbecue sauce AND a buddy to go power tool shopping with. Howzaboutit?
Can't blame a girl for trying. ;)
