Default Bought a new house

Closed on friday. Moved most of the stuff over the weekend that we had left. Got a bunch of new furniture and a 60" flat screen. Can't wait till drag racing season starts back up so I can crank up the Bose audio system . This picture is the only one I have now, about a month ago, not quite finished. 3-2-2.5 Need to paint the garage floor before I start loading up the garage.

Thanks guys.

Congrates to you too John.

Yea Sean, we sold the Katy house a month ago, thankfully. Wife lost her job a few days before. Nice thing about her not working is she got all the b.s. done that goes with buying a house. And online shopped at Gallery Furniture and Best Buy. Yea, we spent a lot of money, lol.

Ditto on the good looking house. Yours a 2 story? Just a gameroom upstairs? Your lot looks to be bigger than mine. I gots me a small one, 1872 sq ft house on a 6325 sq ft lot. Less to mow, too bad because I bought me a John Deere riding lawn mower last year for the house we were renting. Got to sell it now.

I'm old too, at 48 . The house across the street from me is 1.5 story. Nice home for those who moved in yesterday. Which brings me to another story. Last night Inoticed flashing lights outside, there was a firetruck at the new house across the street. Asked the fireman what happened. He said that the people didn't removed the oven instructions before they turned it on. Ooopppps, what a way to start living in a new house.
