Zath Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I just bought a house in early may, I'm 21. Had to re do it and such also; definitely fun. Took me about a month, one bedroom left and dining room but at least I'm moved in! Congratulations! remember to keep it fun and unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_forma Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 congrats man!!! I just bought a house back in April and let me tell you, once you start doing stuff to it you are in trouble, every day I am changing something. I am now working on the irrigation system that was a botched job from the beginning along with getting a load bearing wall looked at by a structure engineer so I can figure out how to open up my garage into a full 3 car. For basic stuff Doityourself.com is very helpful. Good luck with everything and have fun with it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
