Talked to the guy. Redwood is all milled too thin, but I'm going to go see his stash. Osage orange and black walnut. Might come away with something useful

We're trying to buy this place:
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1...38285266_zpid/

It's exactly what we want, exactly where we want it. No way this goes through. We're approved for the mortgage, just hope they accept our offer.

Fingers crossed.

Good luck Brother

zippyt · 05-15-2019, 10:41 PM

Just saw the Zillow thing , 3/4 of an acre , not to much , not a postage stamp ,
Nice interior as well , and a pool , Dude , the Pool is worth it ALL !!!

lumberjim · 05-16-2019, 01:39 AM

Twould be nice to come home to. In this town, 3/4 acre is huge. Most are less than a third of an acre. It's only 1.5 blocks from where we live now. It's so Too good to be True, that I'm hoping it just might. It checks every box. And has a shit ton of closets. I'll probably get fired tomorrow, or die or something ironic.

I want it.

Brilliant!

glatt · 05-16-2019, 06:44 AM

What an awesome house! Good luck.

fargon · 05-16-2019, 08:07 AM

Hope you get it.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-16-2019, 11:06 AM

Perfect, it's got everything. The Squire of Merchantville... has a nice ring to it.
The tradeoff for a lot of room is that means a lot of maintenance.

glatt · 05-16-2019, 11:17 AM

I just got a chance to check the Zillow listing. Holy cow is it beautiful! I should move to New Jersey.

Undertoad · 05-16-2019, 11:19 AM

That location is remarkable, you can get anywhere fast

lumberjim · 05-16-2019, 03:25 PM

I just signed the offer. Offering 380. Please please please please

It would be so freaking awesome. The location is ideal. For us. And it's kind of hidden in plain sight. That side yard and big porch remind me of The Big Chill. The scene where they're playing football in the yard. Always been the mental image I have of Home.

My hopes are way way up. I don't usually let myself do this, but I've got a house boner that's lasted more than 4 hours.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-16-2019, 08:53 PM

It's certainly a boner worthy property.
I certainly hope you score so you'll have the facilities to entertain us all.

The parties will be epic. That side yard, and the pool.... And hey, sleep over, there's plenty of room. We'll keep the flower pots off the stairs just for you.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-16-2019, 10:17 PM

Can you do that, I thought it was mandatory in Jersey, some kind of law.

Doesn't look like there's any railings anyway.
Doesn't look like you can reach the pool from the lower roof, even with a running start, either.
