Windex February 14, 2008 Author Share Windex Member February 14, 2008 (edited) It's "officially" 999sq ft but thats because technically the finished basement can't be included in that. with the basement I'd estimate it around 1400 And it's in Dillonvale batman And I've got this to save on gas in the summer: Edited February 14, 2008 by Windex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMamma February 14, 2008 Share YoMamma Member February 14, 2008 Congratz Windex! That must be exciting. I'm hoping in the next 2 years, I can buy my first home. I just need a good full time job first. Finding a post-college job is harder than I thought it would be. I guess part of it is because I'm picky.

Windex February 14, 2008 Author Share Windex Member February 14, 2008 yeah my job kinda fell into my lap, it was a rocky start at first but i'm the only one in my department at corporate and am building the foundation for the rest of the company, i'm hiring my first employee this week so its a big relief to offload some of my work and get a bit more organized. when i started we had 12 franchise locations now we have 83.. i'd say my workload has grown lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler February 14, 2008 Share boiler Member February 14, 2008 yikes, mo! not to make you feel bad or anything, but I have a 2400 sq ft townhouse for 200k. Gotta love those Indiana housing prices, I feel like I'm living in a mansion now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windex February 14, 2008 Author Share Windex Member February 14, 2008 The other house I looked at was around 2000sq ft for the same price but it needed a whole lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler February 14, 2008 Share boiler Member February 14, 2008 One of these days I wouldn't mind owning a "project" home that needed work. I love doing home renovations, and being able to make it "mine" is appealing to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo February 14, 2008 Share anonymo Member February 14, 2008 Darn you all for being hicks. If I could sleep without the sound of firetrucks (firestation literally 200m 600' from my window) I would move out to the boonies too. But really, I'm waiting to inherit my parent's house, its the only chance I have at home ownership where I want to live...too bad the property tax alone is 3x the amount I pay in rent atm I need to marry a rich chick.

Playaa February 14, 2008 Share Playaa Member February 14, 2008 I recently purchased my first home too. Except it was the one I grew up in. I had moved out in the past, but then my dad died and I moved back in with my mom during his illness and just found myself still there 2 years later. I told her I was moving out and she said she wanted to buy a smaller house then and I couldn't stand seeing the house I grew up in leaving the family so I told her to sell it to me. So in reality, I purchased my first home...but it was nothing like actually purchasing your first home...the only change was that I now pay more money and there is no mother living in the house (though she still insists on coming over and cleaning my house...as if I'm going to stop her doing that) Living in the boonies definitely has it's benefits. My 2000 sq. ft. house cost me $110k (it was appraised at $120k) Then again, I drive 45+ minutes to work every day...so there is a downside.
