Millie I want your old Kitchen

[Millie]

I like my old kitchen! Most of the appliances were by a company called Miele, so it's almost Millie but not quite!

[Salshun]

Was wrong about my stand up arcade machine. It's not a MAME system, it's a Jamma. The console looks like a Sun Solaris box, all purple and shit. When you want to switch game you have to open it up and switch boards, each game is a board. They look like nyah and run anywhere form $10 to $500 depending on the game. If anyone knows a good site where you can buy them, let me know:

Miele machines lasting for 20+ years is not uncommon. They carry the price tag to go with that reputation, but then you get what you pay for.

Mmmmm. Chipotle.

I'm not complaining. The system + 30 games came with the house.

If you think mine looks good, you should see what the gay couple on the 4th floor did with theirs, it's fabulous.

Fixed.

No pics from me, because I don't own a house.

[Millie]

I'll try to get some pics of my current house up later today. I like it a lot better than the old one, for reasons that may be apparent when you see it.

find a local college that teaches interior design. figure out how to make a post in their department. recruit the hot chics(who will do it below cost for the "experience")

[Eomer]

That is a fantastic idea, actually.

"So what did you think of my proposal?"

"It was pretty good, however it did not include any personal pictures."

"...why would you need those?"

[Lyrical]

This is a pic of the last house we entered into a contract. We built a contingency into the purchase contract that said that the house would need to appraise for market value or higher. The bank appraised the house lower than the purchase price, and the people refused to sell for any lower. Given all of the foreclosure activity and rapidly falling house values, we decided to sit out of the market for awhile until we get closer to the bottom. So we backed out of the contract (per the contingency). The house was pretty sweet. While it was listed at 3K square feet, it actually looked pretty huge on the interior. It had four bedrooms, a basement, an office, a workroom, and tons of storage and closet space.

I suggest that everyone add this contingency on their contracts. In this case, if we didn't have the clause, we would have had to either pay the difference out of pocket, or get sued for breach of contract.

As the rate of foreclosures keep rising in Atlanta, I figure we'll be able to get a great deal here in a few months. My godparents live in a posh community around here, and they just had a foreclosed house in their neighborhood sell for 240K. In their neighborhood, the homes are 4K+ square feet and all brick. We live in an apartment that doesn't hold us to the lease (we can break the contract at any time and just pay one month's rent). So when it is time to pounce, we'll move fast. Prices are dropping so hard that our dream home is within sight.

You gotta love living in the Midwest. When we lived there, we had a brick house that we only paid 120K for. I was working on corporate salary, so making city wages but living in a rural community means you live a good life. We were knocking back 54% of our take-home living in the Midwest. Its been quite a shock moving to the Atlanta area, where comparable homes are double.

But on the flip side, since moving from the Midwest to the city, my wife has been able to get a job paying her 300% what she made in Hickville.
