I am planning on building another deck this weekend if the whether is alright and I get the time to pull the permit.

I have done about everything when it comes to remodel. I have bought 2 houses which legally weren't livable for several reasons, gutted them, and put them back together. We just finished raising the roof on the second one and are in the process of sheetrocking it. It is all hung, finishing is going on. Then: cabinets, granite, SS appliances, flooring, painting, bathroom fixtures and tile. I will have to try and find some before pictures. I know a couple neighbors took some of one of the houses (yea it was that bad) and it would be easy to take recent pics.

Sounds like good progress!

I now have all new appliances. GE stove, microwave, and dishwasher. Samsung fridge.

And ApplianceSmart just delivered my new Fridgidair washer and dryer!

All I have is this crappy cell picture.

My entry way is almost complete. I just have a couple of pieces of trim left to clean up and then install. Pretty soon I'll be moving on to my main level!!

All in all, I got all these appliances, and only shelled out around $1100 :)

If you look around a bit, you can great prices on used Stainless appliances on craigslist. Every once in a while, someone will sell all of theirs for a good price. I got a stainless double door fridge with an ice maker and water on the door for $375 a few weeks ago. I will try to take some pics of our $6,500 kitchen we put in the house we are working on.

Yeah put up some pics. I personally will never go for stainless appliances, not my thing. But they can look nice.

I have been doing some carpet shopping. Looks like I'll be getting mine from Lowe's.

We (me and slowbubblecar) use stainless as it makes it seem nicer to a buyer. It isn't expexted when walking into the house, just a nice addition. I will try to find some "before" pictures of our current investment. Then I can post some "after" to show you what it looks like.

We bought the house unlivable, vacant for a while with a leaky roof (mold), needed everything. We gutted it, changed the layout, expanded the bath, added a gable to the roofline, raised a ceiling, new roof(s), windows, doors, wiring, plumbing, SS appliances, granite, etc.

The last big thing we have to hurry and do is build the deck. Carpet will most likely be installed in the downstairs and bedroom in the next week.

Stainless is cool, but it seems like everyone is going to stainless these days.

Looks good B!

Yea Stainless and Granite counter tops are the in thing. I personally love the look.
