Five bedroom, no thanks. Three bedrooms and a bigger garage is all we need. Hard pass on a pool too.

Just watched Dee the realtor in Winter Haven.. A new build..
He notes only one coach garage door light to save cost in a 2500 square ft house. If your cheating on that, what's behind the walls...geez

I feel you on the pool. Had a house one time with a pool. It indeed was a hole in the ground you just kept throwing money into. Probably spent $8,000+ in 7 years in repairs and it STILL leaked. Not to mention all the chemicals, electricity, and extra water bill. Nope. Never again!
My feelings exactly, and it doesn't do your homeowner's policy any favors either.
Insurance wasn't bad, but this was Mississippi we were talking about
I was required to keep a fence up. Not that me or the dogs minded that!
I hear ya. Florida vs. Mississippi's insurance rates? My bet is Florida is way, way higher, it's higher than L.I. and we pay a lot for insurance. I think the fence is probably mandatory no matter where you live.Insurance wasn't bad, but this was Mississippi we were talking about

It's high everywhere it seems. I updated mine to account for the garage and half bath additions. THAT one hurt!
I understand how it goes with all that, it's basic home ownership. Some people just get blind-sighted and I'm just sitting here going "yeup"

I figured I'd drop this here
House in PA I drive by often. Got a few quick pics from the road.
They did this early this year. I guess it needed a new septic tank and I assume this is the mound type...
Horrible as it goes right to the front door... like less than 10 feet away

Now that is just plain stupid. Probably saved a few dollars but good luck selling it. Maybe it's a rental.

Most likely they had no choice.. guessing it's a 60s house and the old failed septic required this but it's hideous

Noticed a newer code for water heaters in Coral Gables and the surrounding areas... the water heater is not only protected in the garage but off the ground 18"
The code reads...
In garages, the ignition source of a water heater must be elevated at least 18 inches above the floor to prevent ignition of flammable vapors.

Yes exactly...
Most of the areas I frequent are electric. I know cooks love it but in Florida I don't want gas stoves or WH... Had them in MD. But in the basement only.... (WH)
My gas water heater in Charlotte was 18 inches above the floor. They used a metal stand obviously built for this. This was 1996 build.
I have gas stove also and also hate it. No idea why cooks love them. Inductions seems to be best of all worlds.
