Watto's Junk Yard / Re: House Shopping... Almost at an End
« on: May 11, 2004, 12:23 PM »
We heard back from our realtor and the home owners have done a counter offer, and we have agreed to it.  We just have to wait for them to officially accept our offer, and then we will have either a 24 or 48 hour contingency.  After that is up the house is ours!  I wish I didn't have to wait like this, but there's no choice in the matter.

Really nice pics Chris.  But did you post pics of the basement?

No, I didn't end up posting pictures of the basement because it's just a basement.  It's unfinished but it's a HUGE basement.  Can't wait to start displaying my stuff in it.   ;D

From what I understand is that basements are only included in the square footage if it is in a finished state, meaning it's setup to be a "lived in" environment.  I could be wrong about that, but I could easily believe that the basement isn't included in this house's square footage based on how big the house is.

Thanks for the compliment!

Watto's Junk Yard / House Shopping... Almost at an End
« on: May 11, 2004, 10:54 AM »
My wife & I have been shopping for a new house for the last couple of months, and we made an offer on a house last night that is less than one mile away from us.  Click here to see pictures of this house, and here are some specs on the house...

- 2800 square feet
- 4 bedrooms
- 2.5 bathrooms
- 9 foot ceilings
- berber carpeting with real hardwood floors in hallways and kitchen
- HUGE kitchen with real maple cabinets
- HUGE full basement with crawlspace (for my Star Wars collection)
- all rooms are already painted, so no painting is necessary

Now it's just a waiting game, so hopefully the sellers will accept our offer.  We're keeping our fingers crossed.   ;D

Well, it's Monday and the birthday weekend is now over.     No worries though.  It took an entire Imperial Shuttle to bring the haul back to my barracks.  My dad has always been good at finding the oddball stuff for me, so some of this stuff are things I wouldn't personally go out and buy.  But, I am still happy to have gotten these things from him.  These are ALL Star Wars related items...

- Monopoly
- Stratego
- game similar to Battleship that has sounds
- Trivial Pursuit
- electronic triva game from Tiger
- trading card games (3 different kinds)
- six Saga figures (one is the Elan Sleazebano variant!)   :o
- LEGO kit (frozen Han Solo, Gammorean Guard & Boba Fett)
- Darth Vader watch from 1996 (comes with Millennium Falcon case)
- Lightsaber hilt universal remote control
- Taco Bell cup toppers (a few of them I didn't have yet)
- and more.............

Also got some money from other friends & relatives, and I bought myself a new PDA.  I bought an HP iPAQ 1945 at Best Buy, and it's an upgrade to the Sony Clie PEG-SJ20 that I had.  Overall, it was an awesome birthday weekend.  And thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes.  I do appreciate it.

Thanks guys!  I really do appreciate that birthday wishes.  :)

I'm more than certain my wife is going to be giving me a bunch of Star Wars goodies, but last night she gave me an early birthday present... a Gameboy Advance SP with Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon.  She said that I need something fun to do while riding the train to & from work, so this was a nice gift from her.  She has more stuff coming to me, but I'll get that later tonight.  ;)

Rumor has it that my dad has been doing a TON of shopping for me, and of course all Star Wars stuff.  My dad likes to go out to garage sales, flea markets, and second-hand stores, to buy me Star Wars toys for almost nothing.  My mom kinda let me know that he has not one, not two, but SEVEN garbage bags (the big ones) FULL of Star Wars stuff.  She told me that we're going to need his Mercury Mountaineer to bring this stuff back to my house.   :o  Gotta love my dad!   ;D

I just noticed that Chris Rhoads - dustrho has not been here anymore?

Also, his name has been removed from the moderators list?

Is he no longer part of the JD community?

Mainland, as OCB (Scott) mentioned I did step down as moderator of JD. There were numerous reasons behind that, but none of which I care to discuss openly here.  I still plan on hanging out here, because I've been a part of JD since November 2002.  You're the first person to notice the change.

Gone.  Please close/lock this thread.  Thank you.

I'm still sticking with with guess of "Rise of the Empire."  It makes the most sense.
