THE OHIO CHAT ROOM!!!

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Sun Mar 10, 2013 10:17 pm

I've gotten so many ridiculous comments...

The worst was...

"What does a single guy with no kids need with a 3 bedroom house?"

My reply?

"It's way cheaper than rent, and have you tried to sell a 1 or 2 bedroom house? Let me give you a clue what it's like to sell it.

HELL."

Then the Detroit comments... safety, etc...

and Bob, remember our conversation...

Watch your behind. Get some insurance. Stay to yourself and out of everyone's business. This is what I have done all my life and I haven't had a single issue. Well except with Brandon. I kicked his @$$ and now we're friends LOL! He has a job now, going to school... buying his own stuff... life's starting out good for him.

Thank you everyone. First place I'm headed when I wake up is to drop off the paperwork at the City/County Building! Then after that, CLOSING AND KEYS WHICH WON'T LAST BUT 5 MINUTES BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE NEW LOCKS. :lol:

Marlin, pay no mind to what others say or do. Live your own life. There will always be those that try and tell you what is best for you, when they have no idea what you are wanting or thinking out of life.
Can't wait to see it !

So what's wrong with a guy putting his life in order?

Now when you do decide to 'settle down' you'll have a good job to be able to take care of a family and a nice home to put them.

I'm not paying a bit of attention to them. Period. Let them talk crap. I'm actually starting to get a kick out of their ignorance and stupidity, especially the liar... I did the ONLINE public records research, the house he claims is his isn't in his name with county records.

Don't expect anything special or extravagant... I need to do some serious improvements... again, it was built in the '40s and looks like it to this day.

There is nothing wrong with it.

Awesome weekend!
Got most of the yard work done, even cleaned up the dead end, met all my awesome neighbors, FINISHED the drywall today and slapped on some primer(I think it looks so so but the wife and daughter thinks it looks awesome :roll:

), got all 6 of the blue spruces transplanted today(found some cool bottles in the ground under where the trees were) , had Tom, Chris and Daryl stop on by :pepper:

, took Suzi for a much needed romp (again) and ended the day believe it or not with my feet up looking at a perfect end to the weekend........

Now yes I did need to wake up, BUT!!!!! the reason was total BS.

They brought a plumber in here to install a new flush kit?!

I HAVE A NEW FLAPPERLESS TOILET!!!! EXACTLY WHAT UPGRADES CAN YOU POSSIBLY GIVE ME? Did the office NOT know what they ALREADY did in here? Ugh...

Just a few more weeks!

BTW: Remind me to get one of these for my house. Two actually. Forgot about the bathroom in the basement.

Congrats Marlon on the house!!! I was in an apartment during college, swore I would never do another. They can be a headache sometimes, but home ownership makes you feel so warm and fuzzy :mrgreen:

Hart.... women just don't understand. My wife doesn't get when I redo something.... "looks fine to me", whatever, looks like a 4 yr old did it. :SOMBRERO:

So, got the CD out of the radio, had to remove and take inhouse and take face off radio. Managed to get CD out without damaging it. I happen to have anothr stock radio that worked fine, if or when it acts up, I will be replacing with aftermarket.
Front Driveshaft rebuild kit on it's way.
Tom, how hard is it to remove that puppy from the Jeep???

Hope to get oil pressure sending switcj soon and replace lower arm shock bushings in the next week or two, gotta trip in April gotta get stuff fixed.

Thanks everyone.

I'm aware that it is a headache. I did most of the "little" repairs around my mom's house. Something is always breaking, but hey, it gives me something to do.

I remember when I would need to find something to do ...that's how I ended up with a wife, house, son and no free time!

Well considering that I now have an estimated closing period of "The week of 3/25/2013"...

Gloss or flat interior paint?

Eggshell or semi gloss, no flat. Flat seems to absorb dirt but gloss is a bit too shiny for interior walls IMO. Keep in mind that the quality of the paint very important. I'm a big fan of Sherwin Williams. That pretty much all I use on the house. Looks great for years and cleans very nicely.

+1,000
eggshell gets my vote every time.

Gloss on painted trim work
Gloss or semi gloss in kitchen or bathroom where walls get moisture or need cleaned alot
Eggshell or satin for regular walls.
I use flat for ceilings

I have used the Bher primer/sealer/paint- all in one from Home Dropout. Expensive, but surprised me as I did a one coat over fresh wood and covered very well.

My wife picks the color and then the both of us do the painting. We hesitated cuz of the price but when you can do one coat even with crazy colors underneath - and it covers it no problem - it ends up being worth it. Nice and smooth color across the wall.

Marlon, the fun's just beginning! Congrats on the house - M&G time!! :SOMBRERO:
