The fiance and I found a home we really liked with in the first day of looking at some homes in our price range. We decided to throw them an offer. We battled back and forth until we finally met at a number we both liked. May second we collected the keys and became homeowners. :( it sucks being an adult having to pay for all the things we didn't have :goof we have some rooms a couple coats of paint and slowly been moving things into the house we don't use all that often. Hopefully soon we'll be ready to move the rest of the stuff because i can't wait to move in. I don't have any pictures of the inside but i snapped some of the exterior with my phone. Plans of insulating the garage and a bar in the basement are my higher priorities even tho i know it'll take me some time to recoop some cash ;) On a side note my boss at work happened to score me a bar and chairs for a steal of a price even if i have to redo the chairs. and some of my phone pics.

waukesha not too far west of the hospital. I love the garage. That was the major selling point for me ;) The corner lot kind of sucks needs some grass repair but the house is great. Hard wood floors thru out.

Years ago I looked at a house just a few down on Sherryl Lane. It was a pretty nice neighborhood at the time, I assume it still is.

Got the bar in the basement :) i think it looks good in the corner i put it in. Thinking about Wraping the bottom part for a different look. Not sure with what tho. Also thinking of building a type of shelf around the water pipe to hold my helmets. Would cover up the piping but have to be removable if needed.

Also got some 16x16 ceiling tiles i don't need anymore if anyone wants them. Most of the track system broke apart upon disassembly.
