Advice from a 95 year old man

View attachment 75916 View attachment 75917 View attachment 75914 View attachment 75915 View attachment 75916 I grew up in a Queen Anne Victorian home built just after the Civil War. Four floors, 28 rooms. When we played hide and seek, it was hide and hope someone finds you. A majority of the houses around me were built just at the turn of the century and are still thriving with life. Found some examples since some may not be familiar.

Just depends on the region. NYC you will get a closet for $400,000. Go north of me or south of me and you'll get twice the home for the dollar. It is also the parcels. Donalds homes need lots of land, Jennifers don't, the parcel my house sits on we could squish 4 Jennifer homes on but likely Donalds homes would need to parcels.

Now if you look carefully at a few of the photos we have all posted, we cannot use concrete as a finished outside material for homes. Brick must be all face brick. We can use stone but not poured concrete as the exterior. 100% of our interior pipes must be copper except for plumbing leaving toilets, no galvanized or plastic. The wood under our roofs must be solid wood boards, no pressed or plywood. So depending on the cost of land, cost of building materials and labor costs the price of homes greatly vary in the US. My neighbor that just moved to Ohio just had a 3 bedroom ranch built with a basement and attached 2 car garage, fenced backed yard. Land 1/4 acre, $25,000 built home w/appliances for $100,000. Nice new home for $125,000. In my town you can't even buy the land that small for under $250-300,000. It is all relevant. In NYC $400,000 will likely at best get you a very small flat. My niece in Lincoln Park Chicago just bought a 2 bedroom condo with one parking spot and it was $500,000

I think I'm going to just build a house with sticks. way too complex for me

A crock pot is also referred to as a slow cooker. The recipe called for 7-8 hours, but that's because it was on the low heat setting. (There was another option for 3-4 hours, on high heat, but I generally prefer the longer, lower heat setting for most recipes.) By the way, it came out delicious with practically no effort on my part at all!

sounds like a 100% perfect victory on both fronts! lazyness and taste

Taylor Swift's house over here. Nice but I wouldn't buy it. Kind of ugly. $18 million dollars and she paid cash for it. Imagine that...your rich enough to pay cash for something and you don't even live there full time.

there is something I never understand of gigantic houses.
What are most of the rooms used for?
and if these houses are just part time?

Sandra Bullock over Julie Roberts

Oh that is scary. Do you think back now and think it was haunted?

I think it had its spirits. The house was in the same family line until my parents bought it. I wasn't born yet but the prior owner's daughter (who was very off her rocker) came pounding on the door and told my family to get out of her house.

Sandra Bullock over Julie Roberts

Most definitely.

 

[FutureCEO]

I do like Sandra Bullock. I think she has this underlying sadness that gives her this underdog quality in movies like While You Were Sleeping.

OkieDokie Gilligan!

That's exactly the type of area you want to live in! (And another attraction . . . I also didn't notice any over-the-top, modern, showcase houses either! )

Nope, none a' those in our hood.

I was going to post exactly this!

So I was happy that I woke up at 7 and stayed awake because I don't like to sleep away Sunday morning which is exactly what I tend to do. Well I fell asleep during the early football games and just woke up.
