- Upside: You should be close to Mr. Tees batting cages, driving range, and mini golf. Yay! -- nm - Chest Rockwell Oct 11, 13:12
- OMG, I love it. It looks totally remodeled so you shouldn't have to worry about the wiring/plumbing. - Mop (199 lbs) Oct 11, 12:56 22
  - If it was done right and not just cosmetics to cover problems they already have experienced. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 12:57 21
    - no one EVER does that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:02 6
      - They fix it up right on This Old House all the time. If that's any indication of the average contractor... -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Oct 11, 13:04 5
        
        I wish I was a realtor selling you a house. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:05 2
        
        Rookie. - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:06 1
        
        add granite countertops, he'll pay anything. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:07
        
        That's This Old House. They use the best contractors in the coutnry. -- nm - the liioulu with cds Oct 11, 13:05
        
        fine print "average contractor that is being filmed." -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:05
    - good point. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:00 6
      - Sadly, I know from picking up management for rentals. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:01 5
        
        *nods* - znufrii Oct 11, 13:04 4
        
        I'll be interested to find out if this is just coming on the market after the reno/development of the rest of the property - znufrii Oct 11, 13:06
        
        Don't get me wrong, there is every likelyhood that it is right. - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:06 2
        
        half of what I've learned from HGTV is knowing what to look for and asking the right questions - znufrii Oct 11, 13:07 1
        
        what if the realtor is on the HGTV tricks? -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:08
    - There's something about the bathrooms that doesn't look quite right to me. - the liioulu with cds Oct 11, 12:59 6
      - thos positioning of the fixtures is weird, I'll give you that. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:02 4
        
        The back-to-back sinks don't seem to be usable at the same time. Which makes them no more convenient than a single. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:04 3
        
        Yeah, one sink can't be used at all unless the door is closed. - CovingtonCat Oct 11, 13:10
        
        more importantly... - znufrii Oct 11, 13:09 1

    - yeah, we've been looking in Conshy proper... -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 12:52 4
      - would there always be traffic congestion at the bridge? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 12:54 3
        
        I'd think so, though by being on this side of it, there's direct access to the highway and you avoid the bridge altogether. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 12:55 2
        
        That Blue Route/Schuykill interchange right there is just brutal during rush hours though -- nm - decline Oct 11, 12:56 1
        
        whaddayagonnado? - znufrii Oct 11, 13:01
  - "(there could be blacks!)" -- nm - con_carne Oct 11, 12:49

    - yeah, that whole "... so you can rest" marketing line is the biggest lie ever. -- nm - Andie Oct 11, 12:44 9
      - it's weird how it effects people differently. It's like a sleeping pill for me. - decline Oct 11, 12:45 2
        
        it makes me *drunk* and then I black out. like, I know it's only 25 proof or something, but something in it... - amanda jones Oct 11, 12:51
        
        I don't remember. Normally I don't take it because it has so many medicines in it, usually there's at least one I don't need. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 12:46
      - I get that with any cold medicine, really. - Kim Pine Oct 11, 12:45 2
        
        i'm okay with 95% of them, both day and night, but nyquil just.... no. - Andie Oct 11, 12:47
        
        You and Amy. - The Ruiner Oct 11, 12:46
      - Disagreed. Dayquil (obvie) is like that, though. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 12:45 2
        
        doesn't Amy have a bad reaction to it too? someone other girl here does. -- nm - Andie Oct 11, 12:46 1
        
        Probably. Hell, Mucinex screws her up. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 12:47
- Denis Leary rules. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 12:36
- It's sort of what I imagine Ambien to be like. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 12:35 7
  - Ambien for me was like a brick to the head. Four hours later, not a trace of it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 12:37 5
    - yep. Complete and utter blackout. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 11, 12:40 4

    - [deleted] 2
      - right. and not like I've ever dated or liked anyone. ever. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 11, 12:36
      - Perhaps, although there's probably like a 5-10 minute window there where I really, really like the person. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Oct 11, 12:36
    - I've liked all of the people I was with. Still do like most of them. But your mushy point is taken. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Oct 11, 12:29 1
      - (I'm a softie. (it's all the fat, I'm guessing.)) -- nm - amanda jones Oct 11, 12:36
