Well, the bank bought a house and they just let you keep your stuff there while you slowly buy it from them over the next 30 or so years.
shadowgar
Nice. Let us know when she takes half of it.

Ok cool, so what room you want us all in?

A nice bi-level on slab if I'm not mistaken.

Congrats, for some reason I've always thought houses with windows at ground level like that were ugly looking. congrats on your ugly house

Who is the creepy old lady on the window?

If someone commented something like this when I get a new house I would become paranoid and be too afraid to even live comfortably in it.

As a current home-owner to a new one, dangling your keys in front of your house, does not, in fact, unlock the front door.
nabacular
have you tried snapping your fingers?

The perks: You'll never have a noisy neighbor stomping on the floor above. The bad: Everything you see in your home will break in a year.
LvAllen
Not everything will break. Some things will start to stick.

Any asbestos? @OP

Built in '08 so best not be!
Equreuil
Yeah... having just had part of my ceiling collapse, I'm really glad it's being fixed free of charge to me because I rent
whitey211
Yeah, but all your rent money is going straight down the toilet.
Squossifrage
As the owner of several rental properties who has spent close to 100' euro in repairs and upgrades in the last couple of years... *sigh*
LvAllen
100k? Or just 100? Sorry, don't know how apostrophes are used for measurements in Europe.
Squossifrage
100k
LvAllen
Uff da!
Squossifrage
Yeah, I just finished by fourth bathroom in three years :|
Reivenne
Ok but like... your bottom floor needs to be at least 6 ft higher.
Dorsk84
It's called a split level. They are allow 2 full floors with out the extra building material...but you don't get a basement.
sonic745
Depends if it's a front split or a back split.
GTalmighty
Guess you're not 6ft either because that joke just flew over your head.
Dorsk84
6'5"...nothing goes over my head..my reflexes are too fast. I would catch it.

If you're planning any renovations you'll soon feel like you fought a house.
TheComputerScientist
And if he ever goes into architectural design for homes, he'll have thought a house
NikoGeorge
If you're not a building professional or extremely handy you have no business doing most things on your house. Talk to an architect.
LittleDragon
You don't need to plan anything. The house will fall apart and require the renovations
shhep
I've lived in house most of my life. I'm definitely buying a condo in a block of flats in the near the city centre. Fuck the money sink!
shhep
The idea of owning a place that won't suddenly surprise me with $25k worth of isolating a basement from ground water is fucking refreshing.
Assfullofbread
Why was I born a homeowner!!?
TheNextFreud
If he adds any automation, he will have taught a house.
shashu10
If he lives in Texas, he will have shot a house
PonyMadness
Better get used to property taxes. Oh and don't get upset when they skyrocket at random. Just accept it and sob quietly into a pillow
bigbootybigfoot
Our house only came with a key to the side door, there is 2 more exterior doors.
sonic745
Buy new locks and install them. Problem solved.
seriouslythatusernameistakentoo
Please make it stop! The projects on my house are never ending. Why did I sign up for this! I'm convinced the previous owners were morons.
muahahahahaha
I feel as though most homeowners are morons with some of the houses I've looked at lately
nah987
Previous owner at mine used spray tar to fix a small leak under the sink... now I'm ripping it all out instead of just a rubber o ring
stoffo
In my case it was builders who were morons. I get a confirmation of the fact by every tradesman/builder who comes to check something out.
seriouslythatusernameistakentoo
People are convinced they can rewire their house or add a deck on their own after watching a 30 second DIY Lowe's commercial.
AvJeo
Nah thats the whole point of buying property. Always something to do. I find it exhilirating, actually
seriouslythatusernameistakentoo
Lol. I actually do enjoy it. My biggest project has been restoring/staining/clear coating all the hardwood floors. More projects coming soon
Smolenski
Suburb thrill
nooberlass
Previous owners here smacked a balcony on the back so now when we have storms, there's a lovely water feature in our kitchen cabinets!
uselessninja
Bonus!
HenryPicklecopter
Oh god
freshcakes
Lol what the fuck.
HenryPicklecopter
I found an electrical junction "box" in my house that was made entirely of electrical tape and duct tape
seriouslythatusernameistakentoo
Now that takes some ingenuity.
uselessninja

I found the "underhouse heating" was really just a 220v heater hotwired under the house near the water supply line
RogueBullet
Every house's previous owner was a moron. I've had to fix so much stuff in the last year. Most of it electrical.
LvAllen
Every house's owner. Even new houses. Fortunately, new houses come with a builder's warranty.
danmonn
The locksmith is coming to change all locks btw, for those saying I shouldn't have taken a picture of keys. Thanks for all the well wishes!!
JonnyBLions
This looks alot like Michigan. It's a gorgeous house. Congrats. I'm jealous.
Lucywants
You might be able to rekey or reprogram your existing lock to use different key
Lucywants
Congrats @op!
Janusha
What country is this ?
eroso
Yeah sure he is ;)
Squossifrage
Why the snark? I always change the locks, you never know if the POs lost a key or gave someone a copy or even kept one themselves.
eroso
Just teasing the guy - that key copy from a blurry image is a bit far fetched
DecorativeCacti
I'm house hunting and at one of the houses a vagrant broke off the MLS boxes and kept the set of keys inside for himself.
ssexywife2008
Why are you changing locks?
drewerd15
1st when you get a new hone you don't know who still has a key, previous owner, realtor, neighbors etc. It's just good practice.
ssexywife2008
Damn, I have bought and sold 4 homes and never changed a single lock
floofsrus
I've owned my house for 4 years and still don't own a key to it. Just never bothered to lock it.
ssexywife2008
That's how my current house is, the realtors didn't even lock it! I didn't get Any keys when I moved in And never bothered
drewerd15
2nd It's also possible to duplicate a key from a photo, but the keys are so blurry I doubt it would be a big deal.
GH05TY
As a locksmith, I've made spare keys for customers, off of much blurrier pictures than this. It is very much possible.
Squossifrage
Why pay a locksmith to change the locks when it's ridiculously easy to do it yourself?
FatBoobsDontCount
Because fuck that
ThatGuyWhosFunAtPartiez
That sounds suspiciously like work.
GH05TY
As a locksmith, it's also ridiculously easy to completely ruin everything. The steps may be simple, but they are many. (1)
Woppledorf
Ummm, 4 screws. Not that many steps. I changed all the locks when I bought my house and look h- damnit, everything is gone! They took it
uhhMurdok
I've changed out industrial door handles/locks, swapping is easy, attempting to fix one piece? It's like a clock on the inside.
GH05TY
It's like making an omelet. Doing it right isn't that hard. But there are a hundred ways to do it wrong that are even easier. (2)
YouCanChangeThis
I was gonna say masterbating but yeah, omelet...
