Re: For all of you guys who are homeowners or newly owned

$213 after s&h

Ordered through homedepot.com and the first one came damaged. You can return the item in the store and get refunded or just have them order you another one. My 2nd one came in great condition.

I believe the price went up to $240 before s&h though...even HD was lower than Amazon when I made the purchase.

Goodness amazon has it at $270!!!

I purchased the item earlier this month and it already went up 20%. It is likely due to the poor packaging. There were multiple reviews where the item came damaged. I took a chance because it was listed at $199 on home depot's online site.

That stainless steel makes a difference doesnt it

I'll have to look into this...haven't seen anything yet, but that'd be cool

Its like a hopper with a control valve on it and goes from 1-10. Nice when you're going to have a party to crank it up to around 8-9 to kill all the extra curricular's that may be floating around.

It looks amazing and the stainless is awesome. I had to take the chance despite the spotty reviews because just a mini fridge wouldn't do it after I saw this product.

Makes sense...Seems like a better way to use the tablets than the floaters, I'll keep that in mind.

Everything in my room so far is black, which I actually didn't want in the beginning... Ill find a space to cramp one of these in. If I don't get it for the house warming its one of the next things on my list

I'm still in the honey moon phase but so far so good. Obviously I was worried about the fridge not cooling my drinks to the point I like. Well this thing will freeze your drinks lol.

I've seen a review or two that indicate the fridge stops working, but only a couple weeks into it I won't have an idea of that for some time.

It looks better in person than in the pictures. It also isn't very big and doesn't make too much noise when turned on.

Nice that it gets it cold enough. A friend years back got something similar but a lot cheaper and it only got them somewhat cold, not cold enough for us at all.

Perfect for a den/man room

You can adjust the height of the shelves for beer/etc lol

It's not just for soda!

This thread makes me really excited to be able to purchase a home sometime within the next few years.

Re: For all of you guys who are homeowners or newly owned

Just finished putting in Pergo (laminate - Australian Eucalyptus) flooring into our house, man it was a bit**, but took a page from Phobia and saved the money and did it ourselves with the help of a good friend (who is a beast when it comes to building sh**).

Will post some pics tomorrow of the finished product with a few before photos.

Also got with an appraiser (the guy who originally appraised after we bought, cool guy) and he said that it would probably raise the value 3-4k. So now we bought the house for 105k, he appraised after we bought at 140k, now its looking like 143-144k and then after the new counter tops (Granite) next week (again doing it ourselves) it should be right at 150k.

This April we are gonna add Solar to the house since we have a S facing roof and the Solar peeps said it would add approx. 20-25k to the house value. Hopefully so.

That's awesome!

I need to know someone who is a beast building stuff...I'd have no problem doing stuff "myself" if I had someone who could guide me a bit as I learn things. I get too worried I'm gonna screw something up...

I'll get past that though as I start with little projects first....

Re: For all of you guys who are homeowners or newly owned

Got all moved in this weekend.

Somewhat amusing, Cox cable was unable to set up our whole home DVR (connected DVR in bedroom and living room) after hours of trying, and the washer repair guy needs to order a part, so he wasn't able to fix it this time. I can't buy a break right now, but it'll all get fixed eventually.

Also I check mail Saturday and I get 2 notices from HOA, one about our front lawn (which I knew I'd have to move) and one for having garbage cans not behind our fence. I couldn't move those cause they were so heavy from stupid sellers, and this Sunday was the first night we were there to put them out. Just amusing how fast those guys can pounce.

Otherwise we got all our big stuff moved over Saturday, and after a delay because of Cox we went back to do a final clean and gather last little things. Sunday we helped my parents clean the old place so they could turn it into a real rental.

I'm still putting together IKEA too, but it's starting to turn out really nice. We love the new house and just feels amazing to finally be there for good. The entire process has been so stressful, but it's worth it.

Re: For all of you guys who are homeowners or newly owned

Just got my house appraised I bought two years ago and its now 50 grand more than what I bought. Can't believe it, especially what's been happening in the last 5 years.

I'm going to be selling it to my sister for 10 grand less than the appraised price since that's all she was approved for but at least I don't have to worry about hassle of staging,negotiating and paying a real estate agent. Also will be helping a family member step into a house with equity which is rare right now. She also got a great rate and will actually be paying the same amount I have been.

I will be debt free and also have the money to start up a new business with my dad. Hope things go smoothly but will be prepared for the worst.

Congrats! I'm now in Gilbert too, BTW! Now I get to learn the East Valley more.

What type of business are you looking to start?
