Three bedroom, 2-1/2 bath house. Under $25,000 brand new. Those
were the days.
It would have been more in a good neighborhood.
My parents bought a 4 bedroom 2-1/2 bath center hall colonial in
1971 for $41,500. This was far outside the beltway.
I bought a 4 br 2 1/2 for $31k in 1971 in Clinton Md. My ex still
lives there. Zillow says it is worth $318k now.

Yeah, Zillow sez the one I bought for $25000 and change is worth
$325
now.
We lived in that house for just under five years, and then sold
it for
$85K or so and bought another new house a bit closer in...and then
sold that house in four years and built a custom house for, well, a
bit more. :)
What's the address of the $25,000 house?

You can always tell when Harry has lied, because if someone asks him
about it, you won't get an answer. If he HAD of told the truth, he'd
offer up pictures, cites, etc.

I know. But, it is fun to pester Harry about these things because
sooner or later he will show a picture of something he owns, like a
scruffy old sheet over a broken down sofa to prove he has a pet cat
or too.

The pictures I liked the best were his custom made, off the rack
cabinets for his "office." Who the hell puts kitchen cabinets in
their office especially ones you purchase at Home Depot?


Since we installed a full kitchen in my office area, it seemed
appropriate to use kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are not "made" until
they are ordered, fool. They're not sitting around in the warehouse.
And as for Home Depot, they sell many cabinet lines I am sure are
superior to whatever crap is hanging on the walls of your kitchen.


Why would you install a full kitchen in your office area? Do you need to
constantly stuff your mouth with food while working?

The office in my home doesn't need a kitchen. I have a kitchen down the
hall.


Why? Because we could. In addition to housing my office, the lower level
of the house has an entertainment center for family and friends and a
huge guest bedroom and full bath, and will soon have a fireplace. We
often have guests and relatives staying over, typically for more than a
night. With all the facilities, our guests are very comfy.
