Got My First House

Hey all,
Well, got my first house. Can't wait to get all moved in and start some home improvement projects. This is the best time to buy a house, I had 7 lined up and ended up getting the 2nd one on my list. Got it for a steal of a deal too. Should be in there in less then a week.

The house has hard wood floors, kitchen was just redone with new cabinets. I really like the way it is set up, I have 2 living rooms so one will be set up with a projector and make it into my movie room.

But have to get some more stuff done.

Congrats! I'm working on building my first right now---it's nice to sink money into something that'll actually be worth something (unlike my truck)

congrats

congrats on the new house, it is a great feeling being a homeowner

about those hardwood floors....... I hope you dont have any BIG DOGS, or those hardwood floors are gonna get gouged up unless you are good with keeping the dogs nails trimmed.

Don't ask me how I know


your experiences may differ

Congrats! Lord willing, my wife and I will be closing on our new home at the end of this month. Then we have the fun process of selling our current house to look forward to.

Thanks,
Yeah look forward to making the those small improvements to make the house mine. Don't have any big dogs yet, but when I do get one it will have a nice kennel of it's own off the garage.
