The Home Ownership Thread

Was. I transitioned to being a full-time cuck about 15 years ago.

15 years?? That's a lot of creampies to eat man....

What sound system?

Also -1 for Paw Patrol.

If you want to come and explain to my 2 year old that paw patrol sucks, feel free to drop by. I have tried to explain this numerous times, but he zones out in my lectures.

This thread should have article tags at the top to let us know when people are talking about other members wives' money and/or sexual activity with men not the member.

Assume we are always talking about that. Then, when we aren't, it is a pleasant surprise!

God I need to have that done.

Weird news of the day. We had a 2 minute snowflurry in the Pasadena foothills today. Extremely rare.

Plan for the worst and all surprises are pleasant?

did a mid winter gutter scour as well, starting to get teh swing of 4-season maintenance

 

[brokencycle]

You guys should get gutter guards.

 

[sugarbutch]

I have no gutters. Get on my level.

 

[PhilKenSebben]

Speaking of gutters, the previous owners of my house decided that instead of fixing/repairing/maintaining the original GALVANIZED gutters, they would just let them rot! So most of my gutters have large rusted holes in them (some the size of silver dollars) and I have to redo all if the gutters in the spring. ******* cunts. I really do hate these people

Only plus to this is it is a lowpitch roof and that isn't that much of it.

Met one of the neighbors the other day, nice woman, seems thrilled about having a young kid near by, already offering to babysit etc as ee get to know her and her husband. Then she said that the previous owners of this house were her best friends for years. Makes me question her judgement a bit, not sure if I should tell her the previous owners were scum as homeowners

48 inch LG CX

I'm coming up on 13 years with my 42" sony. It's still going strong despite occasional temporary loss of sound on some of the HDMI outlets. At some point later this year (around some holiday sale bonanza I guess), I will shop for a thinner one I can have mounted or just takes up less space. I hope to stay below 50" if possible as I really do not care for my TV to dominate my living room.

Good call on having ceilings professionally done. Painting ceilings sucks.

My condo came with popcorn ceilings which is obnoxious not to have removed them given the thorough renovating the previous owner did. I have looked at some Youtube videos and it does not seem all that difficult to strip (although messy) so I am at a loss as to why they did not bother. So that's something for my to-do list in the next year or so.

Asbestos?

Funny you mention it - I used the CX 48 to replace a 42 inch panasonic plasma in my bedroom which was/is still fine. It was the first TV i bought when I got my own NYC apartment around 14 years ago. I honestly never thought LEDs were as good as that plasma, but OLED blows them both away.

Was thinking about another spot for the old clunker and still might put it somewhere but I also don’t like a TV in every room.

Not sure how small you want to go, but i think the 2021 LG oled lineup will have a 43 as well.

Scuppers ftw.

 

[PhilKenSebben]

I don't think I love the grey tell if I'm honest. I'd have to see more pictures probably with more natural light on the wall color. I think that was on our list of curtains, but we ended up going lighter.

 

[brokencycle]

I like the wall color, but not the trim. In that picture the trim even reads pink to me.

But if you love it, I'm happy for you.

 

[Lizard23]

Agreed. Trim needs to be very subtle gray.

Fair enough, not sure what is going on with the color. This is my last try, with my work light, so who knows.

Either way, I person it is nice. Eventually, we are redoing he hardwood as well. Looks like it has t been touched in about 30+ years
