w00t, good times, so the sink backed up, the vent pipe apparently is broken which dumped the water over my porch roof and subsequently down my kitchen wall.



I really dont like many aspects of homeownership. I've got to admit that declining value is the least of my dislikes https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif

oh yea fridge crapped out last week.

Since you moved to FL, it seems life is out to get you.

yah, apartments in major cities, and a barn for all the toys is where its at

As much as I want to be a homeowner, sometimes apt convenience is where it's at

It seems more like his house is suicidal.





We just got a new fridge, the old one was leaking water all over the floor, and looked incredibly nasty (was originally white). We got an LG "french door" style, with the freezer on the bottom. I like the layout.

actually with phins luck, its prolly a good sign the waters not running UP the wall

Give the water to one of the 5000 dying kids. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.gif

then they'll just want food.

I bet your lot survey is fuxor'ed too!

That would mean like the house was upside down? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

or possible demonic possetion, or like that place in michigan, where gravity just doesnt work

It's just FL -- we have yet to come accross a non crooked business owner/contractor who isn't full of ****... I just found out today one of our higher up in the proud Port Saint Lucie(where we live) police department is Captain LaBelle who was a NY officer who was kicked off the force.. Even our police department has upstanding citizens who lost there jobs in other states...

You bought it used!

Build your own....."not you, I see you do try like hell" but contract it out yourself.Pay and firm to spec your bids

that house has had nothing but work on it, i still remember the countertop story

Back wall of addition was eaten by termites, rebuilt the entire backroom. Sewer backed up in master bath, gutted master bedroom and master bath and rebuilt. Ripped out kitchen cabinets, suspended ceiling and rebuilt, ac ****, hot water ****, replaced all appliances.... ALL. Repainted, re-screened and had hurricane shutters installed.



That said I woud never want the potential headaches of subbing the work out to have a house built. If anything I would have a shell thrown up and do the finish work myself, but i dont really enjoy the fun of homeownership like some do, i hate yard work and i hate spending my freetime ******* around with crap on the house, i'd much rather be sailing.

you always loved the ocean, guess its all worth it for that

Damn! Our house was built in '01. We bought it in '03 from the builder, who was living in it. About the only thing I've had to address was having the concrete slabs on the front and back porches pumped back to level as they had settled a couple inches because the foundation apparently lacked the ledge that the aforementioned slabs were to rest upon. I think it cost around $1500. Other than that, nothing. It's got like 30-year shingles and vinyl siding. The only exposed wood on the house is the columns that hold up the porch roofs, and yeah, I've had to put paint on them already. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif



But even my first house which was 40+ years old never gave me the kinds of headaches you're having! Hopefully you've fixed everything now and it'll be "smooth sailing" from here on. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Haha. That's friggin' ridiculous. I like how the last bidders were all zero feedback noobs. That item will be relisted for sure.
