we bought our first house last wednesday, then had a wedding and an engagement party in nyc last weekend. taping off trim so you can paint sucks.
plus, with the 7" of rain we've had in the past three days, i've got water in my brand new basement. i don't expect it to happen often, but it's a
crapy way to get to know your new digs.godabandonedme - 6-27-2006 at 12:20 AM
Word, good luck with everything. Me and my girl just got a house in November and the whole thing is so stressfull an a huge pain in the ass. Trust
me I know about painting, it fucking sucks. I'm lazy and have only painted the family room/dining room so far and the upstairs all needs to be
redone. Fuck I wish I had money to have someone do it like a rich person. We have a nice basement with knotted pine wall stuff an a faux fireplace
that I have to clean up lay carpet in etc. etc. etc. Good luck again, but just get to the realalization that it's never finished. You'll be less
stressed that way.MyOwnWay - 6-27-2006 at 12:28 AM

Congratulations on the house Duane!
If you didn?t live so far away I would send some of our people to paint your house for you.
I?m sorry to hear about your basement getting flooded. Is it a finished or unfinished basement?

tomorrow..the hooror stories of apt is driving me insane..BDx13 - 6-28-2006 at 12:28 AM
thanks everyone. after years of saving in nyc and watching prices continue to skyrocket, we left town. fuck it. a two bedroom apt in our old
neighborhood couldn't be had for less than $600,000. haven't moved in to the new place yet - doing the painting and some kitchen work now - so there
wasn't anything in the basement. fortunately, it's just a little leak, and not an actual flood.beaner - 6-28-2006 at 03:55 PM
