1. be it ever so humble

[Call Me Wesley]

2. OK.

[LSK]

i didnt say post pics of your dream home

[Call Me Wesley]

18. Does this look like a dream home?

Water in the basement, no central heat, and the only comfy thing to wear is medieval armor. But, it's what I got. I have to live with it.

[LSK]

23. i didnt say it had to be a good dream

[billyskank]

8. Your place for the next european meetup, then?

:hi:

We can make it a murder mystery weekend! :bounce:

[Call Me Wesley]

11. Perhaps,

if we can find each other there ... ;)

:hi:

[billyskank]

15. Thank god I found you!

I've been walking around here for days! :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

21. LOL!

Exactly what I mean. And don't forget, there's only candle light!

[LSK]

13. he has to get the dungeon ready!

:rofl:

[redwitch]

81. OK, who shall we murder?

:yoiks:

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. I really like the flexibility.

[catmandu57]

4. Not as spacious, but easier to heat

[KitchenWitch]

5. Here is mine!

[billyskank]

Hey, I'd vote for you in a heartbeat

if I could vote. :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

20. Thanks!

I would vote for you too! You all are way overdue for a new PM

[billyskank]

22. Fucking tell me about it

:eyes:

[LSK]

28. at least your legislatures get to grill him

I catch the House of Commons on CSPAN sometimes, no way Bush could put up with that.

[billyskank]

32. Ah it's overrated

he may get asked questions, but in eight years I have yet to hear him answer one.

[madinmaryland]

71. If that's your home, then

that would make you a troll, George!

[KitchenWitch]

77. As far as I am concerned the White House belongs to all of us!

[Puglover]

6. Here's the summer place

[Shine]

7. here's our modest backyard pool....

[Misunderestimator]

12. I opted for an indoor one...

[billyskank]

9. Somehow I think most people are not taking this thread seriously

:)

[LSK]

17. or we are surrounded by braziliainaires

[In_The_Wind]

57. billyskank

I think you're onto something.

[Fleshdancer]

10. just your normal cookie cutter:

[Pacifist Patriot]

85. Aw, isn't that quaint!

[yellowdogintexas]

96. OK, I prefer some shade:

[Callalily]

14. Home sweet home!

[SoCalDem]

64. EEEK.. a TROLL.. (lives under a bridge?? right??)

:)

[XNASA]

16. The Kitchen

[Pacifist Patriot]

86. Awesome floors!

[XNASA]

97. Red Maple

The floor pictured in the image is only about 3.5 years old. We ripped out a wall to the dining room and had the floor in the dining room extended into the kitchen.

Our entire house, except for the bathrooms and the basement rec room, is red maple hardwood floors.

Thanks for noticing.

[greatauntoftriplets]

98. Your dining room chair looks like my niece's.

I wonder if they're identical. And I agree about the beautiful floors, the cabinetry as well.

[XNASA]

100. The seats are white. And the table top isn't a perfect rectangle.

It kinda bows out on the long sides a bit. We bought it about 3 years ago.

The kitchen is kinda new. Almost 4 years old now. My brother and his partner did the work. So far, we've been happy with it and hope to recoup the money we spent on it, plus some, when we sell in the next year or so.

Thanks for the compliment.

[LaurenG]

19. Ok they're blurry though

[Ariana Celeste]

24. Inside my home...

This is the pc area. Or, what would be the dining room if we were normal people.

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. Feh

Normal sucks. :thumbsdown:

[Ariana Celeste]

30. damn skippy

:D

[DainBramaged]

25. Your's first.

[LSK]

35. ok, heres my backyard

[u4ic]

26. It's all mine!

[billyskank]

33. Hey, about my rent...

:hi:

[u4ic]

48. You're in arrears, mishter

We don't want your kind in THIS galaxy...:eyes:

[billyskank]

50. Oh man I don't wanna be a vagrant all my life!

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. It's only a model

[Call Me Wesley]

37. Mine at night:

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. Don't go in there!

There is much peril. :scared:

[Call Me Wesley]

45. Nooooooooooooooooo ...

I don't think so:

[Orsino]

69. Ssshhh! n/t

[anarch]

31. here you go...

[SoCalDem]

66. In Realtor lingo.. This is "quaint living in a forested area"

a fixer-upper with vast potential..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Here's mine......and YES, it really is mine!

[Blue_In_AK]

36. Here's the lovely deck that my dear husband built last year...

and my cute little garden

[Call Me Wesley]

39. Really nice!

Especially the garden. What do you usually plant if I might ask?

[Blue_In_AK]

47. Things that grow good in Alaska...

All kinds of lettuce and other greens, radishes, green onions, New Zealand spinach, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, string beans, sugar snap peas, carrots, beets, zucchini, herbs (mint, chives, parsley, cilantro, oregano, thyme and rosemary). Only the chives, mint and parsley (biennial) are perennials here so I replant the other herbs every summer. Potatoes grow really well up here, but I don't have enough room for them. I think that's about it. I've done tomatoes and cucumbers before, but you really have to baby them with polyethylene shelters and so on, so I haven't bothered with them the last few years.

ed. Oh, and Swiss chard -- in honor of you Swiss. :)

[Call Me Wesley]

49. Sounds really nice!

How do you keep the mint in place? I made the mistake once to just plant it in my herb garden, next to a little pond. It grew over my whole herb garden and decided to be hydroculture as well, growing in the pond.

[Blue_In_AK]

51. It has one entire end of my herb garden bed to itself...

I just cut it back unmercifully when it gets out of hand. What I have more trouble with is both of my neighbors' raspberry bushes which are planted right next to the respective fences and are always creeping in here. Oh, I forgot to mention we have a bunch of strawberries and rhubarb, too.

[Call Me Wesley]

52. That's what I do.

And for the raspberries, we have four bushes, but this year we'll cut them down and will decide if we keep them next yar. They're just out of control, and we can find any kinds of berries quite close in the woods.

[Blue_In_AK]

53. That's how it is here, too...

The raspberries, salmonberries and so on grow wild. We also have wild blueberries ... do you?

[Call Me Wesley]

55. Yes, we have,

and I had a bush, but it didn't like the soil. I cured it in a pot, and we have to see how it does this year. We still have the freezer full of last years berries, and my wife (Heidi) makes the best berry pies.

[Blue_In_AK]

58. It sounds like I would feel right at home there. :-)

[Call Me Wesley]

59. If you can stand palmetto trees ...

[Blue_In_AK]

60. Wow, beautiful!

Is this really Switzerland?? I never would have guessed palm trees! Now, that's something we DON'T have here. :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

62. Southern Switzerland, a few minutes from Italy.

These are not really palm trees but palmetto trees, and they were imported from Marocco in the late 1800's. Now they grow like weed here.

[Left Is Write]

38. Okay...

This is my living room at Christmas time...




This is the top of my stairway. And my cat...




This is a picture, taken in the late 70s, of the house I grew up in...

[graywarrior]

40. Boo!

[ChoralScholar]

41. My little study space

in my home, which my landlord says is the 'filthiest thing she's ever seen'

[LSK]

42. doesnt look dirty to me

[ChoralScholar]

44. I know. She's a nutbar.

I have a two-year-old, and my wife is a full time nursing student. Not to mention I teach full-time, and am a full time graduate student. There's only SO CLEAN that it's going to be.

[hatredisnotavalue]

46. My husband and I built this

The picture doesn't do the home justice. It looks like a ranch from this side, but it is actually three stories high overlooking the lake and mountains.
We got the log kit on Sept. 24 and moved in on Dec. 16 with a lot of help from friends and neighbors :)

Our house had burned to the ground in July and there was a full court press in our town to get our new house built by Christmas so that we (husband, wife, two kids, black lab, two cats) didn't have to spend the holiday in the local hotel.

[Gormy Cuss]

61. Nice looking log cabin

It looks a lot like a bigger version of the one that my SiL's parents just built, also in Maine. Therirs is two stories with an attached garage. I have no idea if it was from a kit, but the house is in Oxford county.

[SofaKingLiberal]

54. I live on my yacht

[u4ic]

56. I live here with my mother...

[speedoo]

84. Cute, very cute.

But not nearly as cute as you.

:)

[u4ic]

104. And here I thought I was handsome...

:shrug:

[usedtobesick]

91. I just spit my Corona all over my screen

are you family? This is my house!!!:wow:

[u4ic]

103. Mother?

[huskerlaw]

63. Here ya go...

[GOPisEvil]

72. Hey...that place looks familiar.

;):hi:

[huskerlaw]

73. But

the inside of my apartment looks a LOT different! No more boxes...oh, and actual furniture!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

75. What's this now? Actual furniture?

:wow:

[huskerlaw]

79. Yes!

ACTUAL furniture! I went to Ikea and got a 6 foot bookshelf, a bedside table and a dresser for the bedroom and a dining room set. Then I got a loveseat-sized chair from Crate & Barrel for the living room. I need to get another one of those and a matching oversized ottoman...and a flatscreen TV...and then I'm all set!

[GOPisEvil]

80. Ooooohhh...I love those C&B chairs!

I'd love to get me one to replace the ancient recliner in my house.

We get an IKEA here next year (OK, so it's out in Republican-ville, but still...)! No more trips to Houston! :bounce: (OK, so no more trips to Houston JUST for the IKEA...)

[skygazer]

65. This is the only one I have on the computer

My deck.

[greatauntoftriplets]

67. Be it ever so humble....

[Ava]

68. my house

The flag pole was there when we bought it but we took it down because it was flimsy and cheap. When we did we got nasty looks from the neighbors for a few weeks.

[aquaman]

70. Okay, but don't get jealous...

[Laelth]

74. It's not much, but ...

[MrScorpio]

76. I drew up some basic plans for my dream house

[no name no slogan]

78. mine

[Kingshakabobo]

82. Inside pics...my handiwork

It's a condo so I only have inside pictures cause that's the part I own.

My granite-tile counter-top job I did my self:



And the cabinets I built this winter:

[speedoo]

87. VERY nice, Kingshak.

Reminds me very much of my former abode.

May I ask... what kind of wood are your cabinets? They really look great, and your cabinetry skills are quite impressive.

[Kingshakabobo]

89. Thanks! The cabinets are oak.

This little gadget made it all possible. It's a pocket-hole screw jig for easy joinery. It makes the frame and doors easy to build.

http://www.kregtool.com/products/pht/product.php?PRODUCT_ID=66

[speedoo]

90. Hey thanks!!

I bookmarked that product for future reference.

I used white birch for my cabinets. Very similar appearance.

[Pacifist Patriot]

83. I'll take the thread seriously with some exterior shots...

BUT

The weird plant by the driveway is gone. That thing was a creature from another universe. I swear! The roots were like something out of Star Trek or V.

And unfortunately, the hibiscus tree in front of the window on the far left of the front view was blown away by Hurricane Frances.

Yes, the exterior paint color is pink. I despise it. If there is any color in this universe I like the least it would have to be pink. And I move into a house with pink exterior, pink carpeting and pink master bathroom fixtures. I am THIS close to eradicating pink in my house. Last bit of carpet in the master bedroom has it's days numbered.

Backyard: Picture doesn't show the Meyer Lemon tree which is my pride and joy.

[In_The_Wind]

88. I know there is more of it around somewhere.

The house needed a new roof the first year.

[Redstone]

92. OK, one outside:

And one inside (with too many of me in it):


Redstone

[Beausoir]

102. I love that one. Talk about multi-tasking! n/t

[Kurovski]

93. A peek.

[Ptah]

94. My ancestral home:

And the village:

[Call Me Wesley]

105. Where is this if I might ask?

Germany? The town could be very well a Swiss town, too.

[yellowdogintexas]

95. well, this is what I have on the bucket at present:

my back yard in a scene that is against the natural law of things:




in iris season:


my front yard, there is a house behind that tree somewhere:

[Samurai_Writer]

99. I live in the 2nd floor apartment of a house

Here's the house. My apartment takes up the entire 2nd floor. There are also two apartments on the first floor, one apartment in the partial basement. The house is about 7000 square feet total, and eight people live here. We all have our own kitchens and bathrooms, which is very nice.

[pointblank]

101. Just moved in over the weekend

[Kurovski]

108. I trust Annie & Gus approve...

I certainly do! :-)

[sshaw1980]

106. i live in the last house on the left

:scared:

[Maestro]

107. Mine is on the upper right hand corner in

the cul-de-sac.

[u4ic]

109. After last week's snowstorm

There's actually a garden fence underneath all that snow...
