I'm pretty happy that I missed the era of having children that need giant tube TVs and then a full desktop computer with CRT and when I have kids they'll just care about their phone.

That was me, I was that kid with a huge 32" CRT TV and a 19" CRT monitor in my bedroom.

Oh I was too. Add a giant cd boom box above the TV and it's incredible how much poo poo was packed into my room growing up.

Our friends were actually on House Hunters. I can't remember if they said their real budget, I think they did. However they filmed the show after they had already closed on their house and the hunt was just completely made up.

My wife and I had a 700 sq ft 1 bed 1 bath and after a year she couldn't live in that small of a space anymore.

So we bought a 3200 sq ft 3 bed 2.5 bath with a bunch of other rooms but the layout is a little funky because one secion of the house is from the 1750s, another section from the 1800s, and the back section ( our kitchen) is from the 1940s.

Once I asked a contractor if he could break up his prices in line items and he just never got back to me. I reckon he just didn't want to do a $1k job at all.

Attached garages are the bees knees. I don't know many people who actually use their detached garage for storing a car. It's used as a shed/workshop.

Detached garages are a pain in the rear end if you have your car inside because it is that much further you have to shovel/snowblow in the winter to get to your car out of the driveway. Oh and you have to walk through snow just to get to your shovel/snowblower.

Eh I still have to walk to / shovel / plow my path from my house to my car I'd take a detached for never having to clean the car off.

Somehow my 250 year old house had all the knob and tube replaced, however the majority of our house seems to be cloth wiring without a ground (which didn't stop the PO from installing three pronged outlets).

I would kill to have documentation on my house but then again it would probably be more like "the pipe behind this drywall was leaking but we wanted to sell so we just patched the ceiling" and probably "this didn't have a permit".

There's a dish brush and soap for dishes there, which suggests it's a kitchen.


Not really, it only suggest they might clean dishes off wherever that is. Could be a secondary eating area, that could be neat on my patio where sometimes i need to wash off a dish that had raw meat on it to put the cooked meat back onto.

Well our garbage bin is way too big to fit under a cabinet, not that there's space there anway. However, the trash is on one end of the wall and the sink is on the other, so against the wall is:

Oh man being anti sunroof because of failures is such a goon thing. I have a panoramic moonroof and it's awesome, especially on a Summer night. Off the top of my head I can't even think of anyone in my family that doesn't have one.

If you don't like them then whatever, that's fine, don't get one. If you are paranoid about it failing but you really like them, it will be fine.
