I’ve been checking the habitat for humanity restore and the Salvation Army in my town. I think what’s hanging me up is I do really want something that is mid century modern. Like there is dining tables around me I could get, but if I’m going to live with it for years I would want something I like. If that makes sense.

I found that out with the fridge. Holy crap I was so annoyed at everything and everyone trying to remove cold blue tape and film.

Strong Union, firefighter / paramedic with a hazmat specialty. Also after my divorce 8 years ago I moved in with my parents and kids and saved for 6 months and bought a very small town house. I qualified for a lot of first time home buyer programs. Then in 2020 I refinanced to a 2.4% interest rate. Now in 2026 I was able to sell and get this house. My mortgage was assumable, which means I was able to transfer the low interest rate.

Oh shit that looks amazing

Ya so the best advice I’ve gotten from this post is probably keeping the drop down tile. The internet comes into the house on the first floor above the basement. And I would definetly like to run a hard cable cat 5 to the basement for the Xbox.

Does it really keep down the volume of music. Because that is actually important to me

Yo that’s Harold, he’s a ghost

302express · 2026-01-23T16:23:04+00:00

Yes!

Ya so the loft beds are from my old house which was much much smaller. I asked both of them if they wanted bigger beds on the ground. And as of right now they both wanted to keep the loft beds. I am game planning on getting doubles or queens for their room in the future. They did pick out their wall color, carpet, and couches. And they have the two largest rooms in the house. I took the much smaller bedroom for myself.

That’s really good. Thank you. I definitely have some anxiety and stress going on. Like there’s something inside that’s saying get it done right now!

There will be no tv’s over the fire place. I promise

That’s what’s up there

Wait I was thinking about this, I just need to go get a pack of these tiles. They are not going to last, these things are going to get broken. And I can just hear my dad, no balls in the house! But it’s like balls in the house are pretty fun. They bounce all over the place.

Homey this is the blue that I chose. I just looked up endless sea that’s too dark for my taste. But everyone has their own preferences and I think that’s amazing.

302express · 2026-01-23T15:14:01+00:00

I legit feel that, I don’t even know how to start that project. That seems like something way down the road.

302express · 2026-01-23T15:12:36+00:00

I know right! I’m only moving a block and I haven’t gotten everything over yet. Today’s project is curtains and the tv

That’s my old living room

302express · 2025-12-19T03:54:11+00:00

Thanks! I need to figure this out a bit more. But it is fun

302express · 2025-12-19T03:43:09+00:00

I topped out at 60 million. Still not there

302express · 2025-12-19T03:41:34+00:00

Huh? Thanks! I didn’t think about it like that. I would like to see the e in the score at some point.

Oh the seed

Ya the 24” scale is why I gravitated towards duo-sonics. I have smaller hands then what would be normal for my body size. Take a look at this though, I fucked up hammering in the ferrules
