Before pics of tan house











I had some requests for me to show more before pics of the house we flipped, so here they are! Notice most of the pictures are of the downstairs and the kitchen. The one with Cory is the living room after Dave already ripped out the nastiest carpet ever to find hardwood underneath! yeah! Also note the big pit that was full of garbage...the previous owners tried to add on and poured a foundation section and then just left it. It was not worth the money to add on, so we used it as our massacre pit where all the old stuff was thrown in, then we covered it and built a NICE deck over the top of it. If you are visiting our blog for the first time, scroll down and you will find the remodeled pictures of the house.

I was wondering how you feel about euthanasia? Wikipedia says this: Euthanasia (literally "good death" in Ancient Greek) refers to the practice of ending a life, usually through lethal injection. It is illegal in most countries.

So, just thought you might want to know that.

ClancyPants said...

I know that Emilee and I bring it up every time we are with you, but remember when we folded your laundry and we did it at turbo speed and we almost died laughing? Ya. That was fun.

ClancyPants said...

I often wonder how long it will take you to find these comments that I leave.

ClancyPants said...

"Catholic teaching condemns euthanasia as a 'crime against life'."

Duh.

ClancyPants said...

So, how are ya?

ClancyPants said...

I'm good, thanks! How's the family?

ClancyPants said...

My family's good! Thanks for asking! So, is Dave still planning on going back out on outages?

ClancyPants said...

You know... the biggest problem with comment moderation (aside from someone annoying leaving 20 comments) is that when you are trying to be annoying and leave 20 comments, you get to somewhere between 6 and 10 and you don't remember how many you've left and you can't tell until the blog author decides to publish them... or not.

ClancyPants said...

Today's date is May 24, 2008. I wonder what the date will be when you find these annoying messages.

ClancyPants said...

Dang! I wish I knew what number we were on! Would you publish my posts already to I can look?

ClancyPants said...

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

One time my sister was in an opera and they didn't do a dress rehearsal before they did the real show. It made for a pretty funny story that I'll have to tell you someday... when you read my comments. So that might be next year that I tell you the story.

ClancyPants said...

Hey guys... you know whats funny? These people, they go to sleep, think everything's fine, everything's good.... and they wake up the next day and they're on fire.

ClancyPants said...

Hmmmm.... where do you think we're at in the race for 20?
Probly gettin' close, ya?

ClancyPants said...

"People such as Lutherans are taught euthanasia is wrong and that it is God who has the right over life and death."

Duh again.

ClancyPants said...

I dream of having a dishwasher in my house. I get tired of washing dish after dish by hand.

ClancyPants said...

I'm thinkin' we gotta be somewhere around 20. I'll throw on just one more for good measure...

ClancyPants said...

I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they posses insiiiiiiiiiide. Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier. Let the childrens' laughter remind us how we used to be.

ClancyPants said...

There's a choice we're makin'. We're savin' our own lives... it's true, we make a brighter day, just you and me.

ClancyPants said...

I might have just left half of a comment, but I can't tell because I can't see it! Oh well... just checking to see if 20 or so new comments have appeared yet! (not that you'll post all those retarded things I said... people will find out what a weird friend you have!)

ClancyPants said...

JUst checking in! I think I'm doing better at leaving a comment every day. I won't have to try to leave twenty in one day in the future! :)

ClancyPants said...

I'm so sorry! I've missed a few days, I think. Hmmmm... what useless bit of information can I talk about today?

There's an old saying about those who forget history. I don't remember it, but it's good.

ClancyPants said...

I was just thinkin' that you probably won't publish any of these things I'm posting... just to annoy me!

ClancyPants said...

Slacker, slacker, slacker! I've been slacking and have missed a couple days.

How you feel about alien abduction?

ClancyPants said...

Are you ever going to post again? Just wondering... ;) I gotta give you crap... it's what I do!

Bon said...

Ok I am officially declaring your "Blog fast" OVER!! Come on....we need to see what is going on! HA! Miss you guys! Hope you are good!

ClancyPants said...

K- that made me chuckle...I must say. I'm not as embarrassed as I thought I'd be when you finally published all of them! :)

Funny times.
