While I was disappointed with the leaky faucets, I thought about the rest of the totally unmaintained/unupdated house and wasn't surprised at all...

I'm sure as time goes on you'll find some other interesting things as well
Have you been in the attic yet?

Thinking..........
My wife went to OU and then taught there as well of course
and I went to Kent State
so hard to use OSU colors in a way, although they would look good

Maybe Marlon will find some priceless antique hidden away in his house. All I've found has been some cobwebs and old kids costumes.

Yes he'll climb up into the attic and see laying under a lot of dust and dirt a painting. Thinking its worth nothing he removes it to throw it away .
A visitor from Ohio stops by and spots the painting and sees what it is right way! :shock:

Its the missing painting of Madame Ginoux that Van Gogh was to present to her but it was lost.
Marlon returns to work for Jeep after selling the painting for untold millions just waiting for his boss to say something out of whack!

I have found a really old picture behind a baseboard, some older single edge razors tucked up on the sill plate, an old shaving cup, an old ruler, an old comb, an old engineers pencil, a bullet and some glass bottles in the ground when transplanting plants. That's all I have found so far other than a little bit more of myself :jester:

Flowers coming up all over the yard, so awesome :pepper:

Almost done with custom made baseboard trim to match original trim to the home. Finially got the new led flood light for the side of the house put up. Started to dig up some chicken wire they dug into the ground almost 2 feet to keep their dog from digging out of the kennel I already took down :banghead:

. Tore off some angled steps from the deck, going to run and grab lumber in the a.m. to get that done hopefully FR/SAT, it's driving me nuts :shock:

Now sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck before work/relaxing today :ROTFL:

Man, your weather up there in the Great Northwest must be a whole lot different than here in the Dismal Northeast. Not a single daffodil or tulip to be seen - and the crocuses have just started to pop up. You guys are talking about mowing grass and I still have a pile of snow at the end of my driveway... :furious:

yep mines up through the ground and ready to bloom in a few days
Weather up here has been way better than what it is down home the last few weeks.
Daffodils are up 8-10 inches tall and ready to bloom in a few days , transplanted a bunch of flowers today to other parts of the yard
Still burning "someones" leaves couple more bags to go :goink:

Attic? There is no attic.

Just left the house again. Getting the plumbing all tightened up at a later date. Until then, the water is off.

Then new electricial panel and after that I'm done.

No small side storage areas off the main room up stairs?
Most like that have on both sides of the room behind the knee walls

Oh. Those. There's nothing in there besides a box of stuff labeled "Kitchen" I believe. I haven't looked in the box.

If anybody has absolutely nothing to do on Sunday afternoon (3/31), I'll be there between about 2PM-8PM if you wanna come up or down, depending on who is reading this section.

Holy crap! Some one must of dumped off a ton of leaves and chit :shock:

And Marlon, what the crap! I was all over my new place like a blood hound when I first stepped foot it in it :shock:

Found some cool bits and pieces of history.

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Fri Mar 29, 2013 1:03 am

I mean I saw everything but most things were left in the garage which I have bad news about... this is what sucks about buying a house blindly without looking at the garage, but I had such a good feeling about the land as a whole. Everything INSIDE of the house I knew I had to work on, but the garage is a nightmare.

Lets put it this way... thankfully it's still standing.

(and will be for a while I think...)

So you won't be parking or working in the garage for awhile I take it? heh

Don't forget to check for dead bodies under any recently tilled soil in the yard.

Hart better check for human bones under the chicken wire spots...some people put that in to prevent zombies from getting out of the ground!
:ROTFL:

Megalos · **Posted:** Fri Mar 29, 2013 7:48 am

Come to think of it...we should all have Chris check our yards for artifacts. You all saw what happened to the last house built on indian burial ground!
