Progress on the house/realestate.net

It’s been slow, but steady. Trim work all done, painting inside this week, cabinets and floors next. Hoping to be in it by April/May, and living in an apartment as a family of four, closing date can’t come soon enough. Attached a pic of the back porch, will be the site of many fall Saturdays watching the tigers. Also, suck it Corny.
My 34th birthday is this weekend. After such a long time in school, training, etc, feels so nice being back in my home state, in my first real job, finally settling in somewhere.

Between the board & batten, beams, farmhousey front elevation, and my wife's interior decorating style, it basically looks like Chip and Joanna Gaines are building my house

Dude, there's shiplap on the CEILING. Powder room, the whole fireplace/built in wall in the living room, kitchen/breakfast area ceiling, drop zone, the shiplap can't be contained.

specs, all your deal, after all your journey leading up to this.
What we did in '98. Just know that 20 yrs from now, it will be hopelessly out of date and need a major redeaux. Just jump to yo next dream house in 5-10 yrs and keep on keeping up.

But yeah, they are. A buddy just had to put his mom and dad into assisted living..$8700/month. They had a pretty good nest egg and just sold their place on Sullivan's island, so they are OK for it though.

One of my buddies said something to me about 20 years ago. I said, "you have a nice yard." He said, "It's not a yard, mate. It's a garden." That has always stuck with me.

It just sounds nicer to ask everyone to join you in “the gardens” for hot dogs and Busch lights

We added on a screened-in porch with fireplace and a TV. It is the best part of the house. You have a great set up going there. Congrats.
