bought a house! So after 1.5 years after moving to TX, I FINALLY bought a house on Friday! It’s in Duncanville (Southwest Dallas area), and I’ll be about 17 miles from work and 15 miles from downtown dallas! Some highlights are that its 1841sq ft, built in 1975. It’s a brick exterior, gas powered fireplace, central air, covered pato, natural gas grill, double oven, and had a wrap around driveway with a 2 car garage PLUS 2 car carport! My focal point when house hunting was to find a house with a wrap around driveway so as to keep my loved ones out of the eyes of those who may wish to do harm to them. The carport will provide shelter from the sun when car washing, as well as protect any tertiary vehicles that I will eventually aquire. This will serve to satisfy my car hobby for the time being (until I need to build a 3rd bay with a lift!!).
Here are a few pictures. I will send out more pictures of the interior once it is furnished and the garage is fixed up. (these pictures were taken over the course of 3 months, so that is why the grass is green in some pics, but dead in others).
also, i got a U-coat-it kit for the garage. only problem is I need like a 3-4 day window of no rain and less than 70% humidity so i can apply it properly. of course it NEVER rains until the week that I buy a house, and there is no end in sight

Im hoping that this house is in the decent part of Dville. alot of my buddies are from there and ive heard many stories about the place. But its good that you looked for the wrap around driveway so that they can play in the back. Looks great and congrats man!

thanks for the compliments everyone!
yes, the mailbox is tilting a little (everyone's is on the street actually)
yes, its in the 'good' part of dville. my neighbor across the street is a ft. worth cop and he has a mint condition 68 camaro, and is a pretty cool guy, so hopefully he'll keep an eye on things for me when i'm not around.
no, i'm not in a daze as to what to do with it... i got plans

BTW: does anyone know a good reference guide for placement of lights in a garage (obviously for the purpose of working on cars, both mechanically and detailing)
