oh well.

but its cool.

but the people who lived there were c-razy!!

they had all kinds of pets.

cats, dogs, cockatoos, monkeys, skunks!!!!! (!!!!)...

and they just let them run wild and go on the carpet and such.
also they had a foam pad under the carpet in the basement!! and for those of you who don't know the significance of that, you're not supposed to because its like a giant sponge if it gets wet. and when they moved out the power got turned off and so the sump pump was not raining and we had a LOT of rain so it got REALY wet in there. my dad and i spent 2 hours pulling all the ruined, moldy, smelly, DISGUSTING carpet out of there.

also there was mold on the baseboard in the basement. thats bad, its like a health hazard, plus it can ruin stuff. but it went away when it dried out, so thats good.

they had weird weird weird paint colors too. they had like dull brown for some walls... jungle green for others... and the basement was all tangerine!!!!!

my dad joked that they let the monkeys pick the paint colors. heh.

and they had the WORST wallpaper you could ever pick. weird wallpaper banner thingys in almost all the rooms. spent a while pulling those off.

and we have to do almost all the work ourselves. i think the only things we arent doing is drywalling the ceiling in the basement and putting in carpet.

we're not even putting carpet in the basement. we're staining the concrete.
like stone.

we spent like 3-4 days putting in laminate wood floors in the dining room and kitchen. we got a new miter saw and a table saw!!

hey, just wanted to post this. pray for us with all this work and moving and stuff...

sorry if its really long. hope nobody minds.

(But what's even scarier... building your own house like we did)
Well not scary actually. It's hard work. Fun childhood experience(I was about 8 or 9 I think), but lots of work.
Clearing an area in the woods for the place(lots of chopping, sawing)
Pouring concrete, putting up rafters, placing drywall, painting walls, putting in floors.
And then wiring it, insulating it, molding, doors, windows, lights...

Have fun in your new house. It sounds like you'll almost have to rebuild the whole thing though...

Wallpaper... ugh. That stuff is a total pitn to put on.

i have a friend whose family is actually building a dome house. they live in florida and i guess they're doing it because its stronger for the hurricanes... they are taking a lot longer than they thot they would. yeah, it is a lot of work.

New Houses are cool...

wait, no, I lied, my familiy (including granparents and aunt & uncle) bought a house next (right next door) to our cousins in Washington. You know that family they've been talking about on the news? The one that got totally snowed in and were missing for like a week? They stopped at the exact same dennys we ate at 2 hours later than we did.

That last part is kinda sad..

------------------
yeah, im a little crazy

yeah. it is to pay off a loan. i thought you meant like, a second mortgage. like Arch said, like in monopoly. haha.

you actually can mortgage like in monopoly. it's referred to as a second (or third or whatever) mortgage. knew somebody mortgaged their house 3 times. they were pretty stupid tho.

You said you STUDIED more business than Budd, that has nothing to do with moving or experience with moving, it's knowledge. Just like I could study business and learn about it, but have moved less than any of you here.

I'll never speak to you again.

I don't know what he meant by calling me a smart *** and don't know what that means. But regardless it meant harm regardless. He also is also ignorant, at least most of us. You're right about moving 100 times and being ignorant. So I don't know what the purpose is insulting me.

Lava: Actually, it has lots to do with house ownership as opposed to moving. Like mortages, I did say that I might know more about his house, but not business.

I was saying the length rather than times, but regardless this is pointless.

BTB: I think thats just rediculous and crazy. That's just nuts.

Laz: You just did.

Guys... give it a rest already....

If I was a mod you'd all have been banned(including Buddboy, Mene, Crazyishone, Lava, and Arch).

Buddboy and Mene for flaming over the dumbest thing this mod has ever seen.

Crazyishone for using the crudest language this mod has ever seen - against an 11 year old!
Lava, for agreeing with Crazyishone about the dumbest thing this mod has ever seen.
Arch, for lying.

And then I'd ban BennytheBear just for posting in this topic.

...

j/k guys.

It was all a lie. Completely - without a shadow of a doubt.

I should probably ban myself now, to be fair about the whole thing.

If you still care to listen to my advice, here's a bit for you: Don't challenge the intelligence or ability of people you do not know. The internet is home to actions without consequences, and people will insult you just because they can. Flaunting your intelligence on a forum for programmers isn't going to get you anywhere. "Smart" people are jerks, arrogant and narcissistic to the core. You'll have to adapt to that. Maybe in school you're the brightest kid in your class, but as soon as you go online, leave that notion behind. There is always somebody smarter.

These are the rantings of somebody who still has much to learn. I do feel, though, that I should try to prevent you from making the same mistakes I made. (And still make...another story for another time?)

Haha

If I was a mod, I would ban you all, depending on what mood I'm in

------------------

My parents lived in the house I was born in until I was 24 (they bought it 3 years before I was born).

I moved when I got married. We might be moving in a couple months, to another duplex a few miles away. That will be my second move.

Oh, and about mortgages - buddboy, I know you don't exactly have input as to your parents' finances, but they'll save a whole lot of money in interest if they pay the mortgage off early.

yeah we were arguing over a pretty stupid thing mene. i apologize to you and others for wasting space with a stupid argument.

haha Laz. we'd all be banned by now if people got banned like that. there'd be nobody left. except for people who never post or even come on. then they'd probably get banned for not posting. haha.
