Excellent. I love Ambleside as well, spent so many holidays around that area. Lots of beautiful countryside to walk.

lol, not only do they put carpet on the floor in the bathroom, they actually put toiletseatcovers over their toiletseets, I mean.... normally you clean this every day.... do those people have 10 spare ones in a cabinet or something?

I would love to do this if the world was safer. Van life can be very dangerous, esp. for women. But not having to pay property tax, homeowners association fees if you live in a house etc. would be great

We bought a lovely house built in 1917. Discovered the previous home owner was a champ at hiding, even from inspectors, the s**t job he did on EVERYTHING.

When we sold our house recently we had to close all outstanding permits. Some outstanding permits were for work done 30 years ago and noone including inspectors could even figure out what they were for. They just shrugged and closed the permits.

Even Satan is not as terrible as those people

Yes it can be expensive to own a house, but you're not just getting a security deposit back, if you're lucky, you're selling your home for more than you paid for it usually at least. Plus, owning a house opens more financial opportunities for you.

Also accurate.

This hasn't aged well

I loved HGTV right up until I worked in design and realised the false expectations they set.

HOA's are one of the biggest rackets ever.

I've heard only bad stuff about HOAs, I wonder why they're still a thing

With zombie proof potential :)

My son and I saw lilSimsie make this on YT, I didn't know it was a real house! 🤣

You can make a drinking game out of it. "What's it gonna be tomorrow? Is it the plumbing? Is it the termites?" Chug whiskey straight out of the bottle for every correct guess.

i could totally take a nap on that couch right now

My sister bought a house where they had tiled over the tiles. Lots of cheap methods to make things look better in the short term but actually make it worse for when you go to do it properly.

When we were looking the house listings, we realized all the people who remodelled houses to make them "au goût du jour" bought the exact same lighting fixtures at Home Depot making their houses look exactly like every other house. We ended up buying a centennial house that didn't look like everyone else's. We were able to negociate the price down in this market, because of a suicide/murder that happened in it 20 years ago. It freaked out other potential buyers, so our offer was the only one.

I cringe when people buy an older home and paint the beautiful woodwork and wood cabinets. Why not go outside and paint your trees a fresh new color also?

Never ever buy a flipped home. You have no clue what'd hiding just beyond your site.

We were shown a house where they legit just painted over the pepto bismol pink tiles in the bathroom. There was a vase on the counter and you could see how it scratched the cheap paint!! we Noped right out.

I'm almost done with mine. While I'm happy with the result, there definitely were moments I wished I left it as is.

Gen X, too.

It’s a hard knock life

B. Square, because that's a frickin' shape, not a tool. (it's a joke, btw)

First house 1970 $17.000.

We got a $100 gift card! (Inflation, I'm guessing)

Ah, but now you can't afford the small one because the monstrosity next to it has now increased property values of the whole neighborhood. Good luck.

'cuz we need a little controversy...

Unfortunately, for many countries so very true.... Although here in Spain there are actually almost empty villages where you get a house for almost free to just come and live there so the town doesn't get lost... I guess for some it's a dream come true ;)

A lady I worked with used to call it "P-interest" - she didn't know apparently that it is pronounced pinterest

Nope. I would just ghost almost EVERYONE I know.

As a home owner for over 10 years now, I completely disagree with this one. You can save thousands doing things yourself. Provided you are capable of said project. If not, then yes, hire. You'll end up spending more on the contactor fixing what you just screwed up.

Don't tear down a wall for a cheap billiard table on Facebook marketplace, simply because the cues occasionally hit the wall. I don't regret the billiard table in the slightest, the lack of wall left as unfinished demo years later, after the billiard table getting moved to a more logical location, that I regret immensely.

wait.. you guys own a house?

Sod the timber, I want a mane of hair like this chap! What a barnet!
