which would be important, as it would be rather difficult to get married if the groom weren’t actually there… 
yes, I know I took that way out of contaxt. still . . .
Hey, I got a new nickname! Woohoo!
I also borrowed Enemy at the Gates. I particularly liked the book, it’s one of the few war books I liked. And I started a thread about DVD operas, so I think I will start borrowing some soon.
Uh, that would be the Enemy at the Gates DVD. Sorry.
Two major defects that we will demand be fixed. Major in the sense that I want them done before the sale; not major in the sense that the house will fall in if not done…
There’s about 15 wire splices underneath the house that need to be put in junction boxes, and the wiring stapled to the floor joists. I could do that easily, if I really wanted to (I don’t).
The other is that the plumbing for the bathroom is corroding, and leaks. Nothing major there either, but even with the svelte new me, I still won’t fit into that part of the crawl space.
The rest of the house is jake, and get this: the big shade tree in the back yard is already a pecan. I was corrected many times that the nut is pronounced PEE-can in Nawth Carliner, not pe-KAHN like them idjits in Indianner do it.
Appraisal gets ordered in the morning, and we close on Friday the 30th…
I took many pictures, and will post some of them tonight.
Yup. When we move next month, it’s out of state; unlisted land line and cell phone numbers with no forwarding; and I’ll have to get a new ISP, too.
Of COURSE it’s pee-can. I don’t even know how to say it any other way! And … I’ll look forward to the pictures. I love seeing where everyone lives. As it is, I usually visualize people in one of the houses I’ve lived in in the past!
Hey, I just saw **MagicEyes ** over in the Universal constants of cooking (or whatever the exact title is) thread. Hey, ME. We miss you over here in the MMP. Stop by and say hi!
Okay Ellen, just for you are three pictures of my house.
Here’s the link: Tater’s house
I couldn’t find more recent pictures. These are when we first bought the house, and the first or second winter there.
I’m not ignoring anyone, I just am avoiding my office today, and probably tomorrow. The park district people have taken over our place as HQ for Prairiefest and it’s kind of nuts here. In fact, I’m outta here…
Is this a two family house? side/side or up/down? or do you just have A LOT of garage space
You DO NOT have a three-car garage. Oh, how we LOOKED for a house with three garages. Woe, woe is us. No room for the boatie.
How I lust for your garage. 
And thanks! I’d love to see the landscaping. Get out there and take some more pix!
OK, here’s the plan. Get a hump, an eye patch, a pus filled wound, and gnaw on a big ol’ mess of garlic and onions. And spend a lot of time outside doing sweaty stuff, and don’t shower. Learn to fart on command. Scratch a lot.
You’re welcome.
She might find all of that HAWT.
Yup, it’s a three car garage. Unfortunately, the vehicles cannot fit in it, because we have crammed our boat into the large area, and the third door area is crammed with our lawn equipment, freezer, shelves, weight bench, bicycles, etc.
I’ll try and find better pictures, but I think they’ve been lost to due to a Windows OS re-install.
anyrose, it’s a single family home. 2,454 square feet, big-assed kitchen, great room concept, two and one half baths, den, three bedrooms (one is master-suite), bonus room, laundry room upstairs, walk-in closets.
'Cept for the eyepatch, you described me perfectly as I am now. :eek:
Hell, I think I have the perfect excuse as it is to be hanging out in the cotton fields of eastern NC, far from the places the psycho knows I frequent.
Congrats to Mr. Taters on his Million Miles! That is way cool! I was asking FCD if he’d like to go to Vegas some time - we may just do that some time. Neither of us are gamblers, but I expect there’s enough other things to entertain us!
Waiting for Chuck to show up and take us to dinner. I haven’t seen him in over 2 years, so it’ll be fun. Plus he’s treating!
Now, I know better than that. You didn’t scratch once when you were here!!! 
Work is boring. You people are buying houses, investigating new churches, avoiding cyberstalkers, going to Vegas, spending weekends with fiancees, watching your kids graduate high school … Why isn’t my life even half as exciting as yours?
I told you to come to Vegas with me. If I had a friend there I definitely would have pushed my family off a cliff.
I’m 300!!!
Nice house taters, where’s my shrub?
It’s gonna rain here pretty soon. Know how I know?
I washed the car of course!
