Not So Pro 3

Well, that was a waste of time. I don't think the homeowners did any significant work to that place in the 22 years they owned it. Pretty sad to see drywall falling off inside the home your grandparents once took pride in.

Was still neat to see it one more time

Long as it’s priced decent go for it. Bring it back to its former glory. You’ll probably regret letting it go.

Thank God he was here to do the heavy lifting...

I know right! Put that banding on, grab that red clamp, drill hole here, put a screw in here, put banding on that, put that board back in my truck, where is the tape measure...

Plaster board can easily be replaced. Don't be put off by cosmetics.

It goes deeper than the plasterboard, though. Tough to see from the pictures but there is extensive water damage throughout the home. Rafters and floor joists have rot all over the place. Our pregnant Realtor friend (in the grey dress) almost fell through the kitchen floor.

I regret alot of things. This one is too much for me to handle. The house still has some "good bones" but I don't have the budget for what it really needs. Full roof including rafters, new floors, several new walls, repair to the pool etc... it should have been left as a memory.

After a tick borne illness changed my life, I studied every available resource I could find on these things. Heres a new one from the BBC. 1 in 10 people have, or have had a tick borne illness. I'd recommend learning all one can.....

Lyme disease is becoming more common. But its symptoms aren't always easy to spot

Climate change is contributing to the global rise of Lyme disease. But many physicians are struggling to recognise its symptoms.

I had a variant of the spotted fever when I was a kid - It is some nasty stuff. It still causes occasional numbness and tingling in my right leg.

Every time my wife and I are out cruising on the boat we pass many of the houses we looked at out here that we looked at in the 12 years we shopped before buying. There is one house we call “the one that got away”. It needed lots of work and we probably still wouldn’t be done after 10 years of ownership.

My advice is, if you can get it for price that allows you to fix the roof right away and work on the rest as you go do it. If it can be safe but not pretty and the wife agrees, you should do it.

We have a few like that, that we still wonder what would have been. We only found out about this place being available yesterday, so it's still alot to process.


Wife and I are still talking about everthing we looked at when we were there. I reached out to my Aunt, who lived there with my grandparents in the 70's for awhile, and she suggested that "That house owns you" implying the maintenance and upkeep was exhausting. I was 17 the last time I walked in that door, and I think I overlooked quite a bit back then.

I will keep y'all updated on what we do.

That’s too bad but sounds like pretty extensive work needed.

All houses own you. From the inside to the outside. Just because you paid off the loan does not mean you are free and clear.

Spent the evening with some friends on the boat, sunset cruise, live music and a fireworks show.

I’m looking into getting something like this. I have flail mower but this style turns small trees and bushes into mulch…anybody got any experience with this type?
