the house I grew up with had this really short nasty carpet in the kitchen... course it was built in the 70's and hadn't had a renovation...

after 4 years of 7 people, 5 of which are all kids under 10 y/o, that shit was fuck'n disgusting.

Thanks, all. I'm looking forward to getting in the house. I've been staying with my parents for about 9 months while trying to find a place I liked at the right price. I'll be SO happy to get my own damn place again.

The previous owners were in their 90's. They remodeled the kitchen and carpeted the house in the mid 1980's. Kitchen looks surprisingly nice, minus the carpet and 1983 microwave (another thing on my list). I peeled up the carpet while inspecting the house and it has vinyl underneath, so I have a LOT of work ahead of me there. The bathroom will be done immediately (you can imagine how bad a 90 year old guy misses), but I may live with the kitchen for awhile, depending on budget.

Congrats CM! For what it's worth,I think that your priorities are perfect and it honestly warms my heart to see someone actually put their children first in practice rather than just talk about it! I seriously mean it

that's why I can't wait to buy... even if I sell for 20k less than I buy it for in 3 years... I will have come out better than if I rented

Well, yeah... but think of the money I've saved in lawn care.

Thanks. As soon as I walked in the house, I looked at the kitchen and thought, that MUST go, then saw the bathroom and thought the same thing. I have no idea why anyone puts carpet in a kitchen or bathroom. I can understand some people might not want to step onto a cold floor in the bathroom, but that's what bath mats were for...

Only thing I can honestly think is that the people were elderly and afraid of slipping and falling.

Nice yard in the back. Now you need to go buy a 50cc dirt bike and build a little dirt track in the yard. Pit bike racing at home.

Sweet, congrats Cap. It's a cute little thing

I love home ownership

As for the lawn care etc...
-Push mower $300
-Gas for the mower ~$50
not too bad IMO

As for snow removal... I just bought a new blower, and it's already paid for itself in my mind.
