House Projects

[Halon]

We went to about 20 houses this weekend in the parade. The $2m home in Chanhassen was unreal! I think we might steal their idea of putting a huge viewing window in the theater room, so people can watch even when they aren't in the room, the can pull up a barstool and sit at the viewing window at the bartop.

Here's pics of it.

For 2 million bills, that house seems small!

Brandon why did they remove any trees at all? They seemed plenty far away from the house... Id spare all trees, since Blaine seems to have a shortage.

[Halon]

Some trees were removed because they were where the garage will be. They are keeping as many as possible.

aly and I stayed at a 2 of her aunt and uncles homes over the years watching there dogs. One was in deephaven they sold it for 3mill the other was a home was also in that area they sold that one for 5mill. I did not want to leave that one.
The 5mill house had a master bath that had a shower room 10x10 lol. The basement had 5 42in tv's and a 80in tv in the center with the others on the top and sides.
They moved all there stuff down to there home in HI after they sold the the last home.

One of these days I'll have to go check out the parade of homes. Since I just bought a house last August, I plan to refinish my garage. I'm planning to paint the floors and walls in the garage. Also planning on building my own work bench. No pictures other than the MR2 and all of my junk in there. I need to get the DSM over as well. It's still sitting at my parents house.

So how close are you going to be to me Brandon? Is that just south of Brown's old place?

[Halon]

Jet, we will be basically right off Lexington and 109th. So maybe 5min south of you?

Small update. They started digging last Monday, had the footings poured that Tuesday. Work stopped for the rest of the week, I'm thinking maybe they were letting the concrete cure. Started back up this Monday, they have most of the walls poured. I'd assume they'll let these cure for a few days as well but no idea really.

All flooring/countertops/interior paint/tile/etc are all picked out. Moved onto lighting. The lady at the recommended lighting place sucked. I think 90% of our lighting is going to end up from Menards. But going to get a couple nicer fixtures for the main level/entrance area. Picked up matching lights for over the dining room table, and over the island.

Purchased all the appliances from the Sears Appliance store in Maple Grove. They beat everyones prices hands down. Ended up with the Frigidaire Gallery set.
