    Umm.. Run it by her? Hmmmmm.... Now that's a novel idea.

    This is our third fixer upper. The last one, bought it from the bankrupcy court, and the house was one construction project after another for 9 years. But, made a very nice profit, when I sold it in the Summer of 2011 (even with the real-estate meltdown).

    Then my employer moved to Maryland and offered to pay all my moving expenses. I thought, this is a perfect time to buy another 'deal'.


    Have done tons of work in the new house. Lot's of smaller projects left, but have three big projects planned:

    --Rip out the master shower (it leaks in the dining room beow). My last house had the same problem. Fixed it by re-caulking everyting. But, this house, I think they used the wrong type of shower pan, so got to: rip out dinning room ceiling, rip out shower above it. Re-do everything.

    -- Then the kitchen needs to be totally ripped out (down to studs and floor joists). Redo that.

    -- In my basement media room, wires all on the floor and wall. Will be putting them behind the walls.

    But, got a $250K discount on the current house. So, that is nice. Bought the house in a highly desirable area, with good growth potental. I retire in 3-5 years. Hope to do well when I sell it.

    In-wall Speakers are OSD Audio ICE850. Did not even try them out.

    But, I did try out a pair of OSD Audio RS690 rock speakers. In general, I was not impressed. Thinking of sending them back too.

    Best Regards,
    Stan
