  Got a chance to really fuck some shit up over the past couple months. Friend bought a 700 sq ft condo for 33K, and the old fucks hadn't changed anything, or ever stopped smoking in it since the 70's. He hands me the keys, and says tear the whole thing out, and do what you would do.....and here's what I did.






































  It'll still need some more decorative trinkets and pictures on the walls, but I handed the keys back to this 23 yr old fuck, tonight. Must be tough. haha.

[bigwig]

$33k?  Seriously?  Fuck you.

[Stealthmode]

33k, another 16k in upgrades, and the mortgage payment is $260 a month. 

[turbob16hatch]

Damn that looks pretty good steve. funny how some paint and updated shit really turns a place around.

I could buy the damn house for cash.  Fuck this.  I'm going to bed.  I've had enough.

Looks pimp


Here is my doomsday plan

Worst comes to worst.

[Stealthmode]

California City is the first town next to Jawbone, and Jawbone is mad hardcore whiteboy shit, and a great place to be on doomsday.  :yes:

[HiProfile]

where's the tur-bo?


turbo flusher?

[keelay]

Needs a bar, with turbo barstools

[junkyard racer]

gtfo

Still a work in progress, interior will be finished hopefully by 1 April. All thats left is are a few doors and paint everything one more time. I really need to update with some more pictures. 










This spring, its time for the outside and garage. Siding and landscaping

[Stealthmode]

Franklin, you need many things, but thinner walls isn't one of them.  Does the house currently, or had in the past, provisions for being moved via it's own axles? 

[ghettoturbo]

good eye, is that made with a 2x4 facing the wrong way?

[highroller54]

I should take some new pics but is all I have done for months now









speaking of which, time to get to work  Jew

[junkyard racer]

There are lots of small fucked up things like that in this house. It is what it is though. Bought it cheap, and will have a really nice return on it in a few years, I think. 2 of the bedrooms are like that also. We gotta fix that shit for doors. The kitchen wall, I am not real worried about.

[ApexSilver06MR]

damn.  homes are cheap out there. 


im looking for a home up here in sac currently in the 200k-250k price range. 

[ghettoturbo]

damn frank, thats a serious project.  You doing that all yourself? 

Looks good  :yes:

That shit looks like a perfect place to live to me. Why is it so damn cheap?

Nice make over Stealthnog. How much did you make off that job? Going by Florida standards(the only place I've done construction), you would be dumb if you did it for any less than 10k. You probably took 7 or 8 though.

[snm95ls]

That shit looks pretty awesome now. 

That place seriously doesn't have central air?

 

[junkyard racer]

250k would get you a super nice place here....and property.

Ive got about 65k into my house right now, including the purchase and I think I will get 100k+ for it. I am doing everything myself. The only thing I didn't do was refinish the bathtub, and really....doing it the way the dude did it...I couldn't have done it much cheaper.

My house is the perfect starter home.

[Stealthmode]

Frank, I suspect that behind the wood paneling you'd find a simple (and more modern?) wall to paint. Wrap the fireplace with something like this, and flat panel tv where the mirror is. After that you just need a tree swing out front hanging off one of those monsters.  :yes:

Its no man's land thats why its so cheap. No jobs out there. The area has alot of section 8 nogs from LA but crime isnt that bad. Its a chill ass little town out in the middle of the desert. They have a tight ass park and also have rc car racing almost every weekend its the big thing out there from kids to adults.



If you love roads that go for miles that are straight and wide its heaven. Most were built for mining which is basically dead in the deserts now so the roads have no traffic and almost never a cop. Its the last places in california where street racing still happens all the time.


You have willow springs,famoso dragstrip and buttonwillow raceway all within an hour. Also los angeles country dragstrip use to be only a 45 minute drive but rumors are that LA county in the deserts will get a dragstrip again since there are investors finally throwing down some bread.



Honda also owns a track out in California City that they use for testing. That is the job to get out there or get a job with the miltary bases at edwards afb or chine lake naws.

Looks like the condo in the movie "American Psycho", nicely done.

Steve,  not sure on the fire place. I really want to do something with it, just not sure what. Right now, its not really a priority...but something I am thinking about.

and we do have a swing out front. That picture of the front of the house is almost a year old. Like I said, I really need to take some more pictures.

[ghettoturbo]

damn i just realized i mixed up frank and highrollers pictures...both projects look good

[Jorsher]

For ~250k in Alabamy you can build this:

Office


Dining room, dog, cat


Living room




Kitchen




Pantry/utility room


Garage


Upstairs, dog


Upstairs bedroom, bathroom




Bedroom #2


Bedroom #3


Bathroom #2


Master bath




Master bedroom


Back yard


Front yard


Wasn't finished long ago, still needs some crap done, like curtains (which are being measured today) and a bunch of other random shit.

Too bad it's not mine.  21 yr old sister's place, doing well

  Where did I go wrong

[Stealthmode]

Too bad it's not mine.  21 yr old sister's place, doing well

For 250k, I'd take that house anyday. Sad part is, it's in a state that could vanish tomorrow and I'd give a fuck less. So, this sister of yours......."KEN I GET DAT NUMBA?".

[dvst8r]

Too bad it's not mine.  21 yr old sister's place, doing well

Fuck that would be a Million+ where I am.

Yah actually they got it appraised for over 300k but they did all the contracting and shit themselves and paid cash so it came out a bit cheaper...

I'm still renting 

[dvst8r]

I just bought a shit hole for just over $300k. One of these days I will even get some pics up of it.
