What do you hate the most about your house?

[1988GTU]

"i love my house and my neibhors are great,but we have a very strong club association and they have walkers (old farts that walk around the hood checking
things out).and when they walk by my house they walk very slow checking it out very good ,and when they see me they also check me and i can almost read there mind saying "how this mexican lives here".most of the time don't bother me ,but once in a while it tickes my huevos."

LMAO!

I hate having a backyard with plant life.. I really dont like grass. It turns into weeds then pollen floats around & before you know it you have bees chasing you around!

I don't hate too much. Got 1800sf under A/C, 400sf of garage (two car), and a 1/4 acre in the heart of Coral Springs, FL (2500sf total under roof). The temp hardly ever get below 60* () and I can go to the beach on New Year's Day (with no jacket).

I guess I get pissed when the City complains that I left a garbage can out for two days, yet they haven't said anything about the car on stands in my driveway for a month (legally they can tow it at this point).

Anyway, I guess I hate the $3800/yr insurance because of the hurricanes and the taxes that almost match (mortgage makes me cry sometims )

I finally got clearance from the city to allow a new gas furnace installed, for some reason they had on record that my house was a mobile home with the local utilities, inpectors all about digging and probing, pokeing aroung for days and left with a mess to clean up... Yup this foundation is 5 feet in the soil with 3.5 feet exposed for a total of a 7.5 foot foundation wall all around including 5 foot deep frost footings. Your house is not a mobile home they told me, pfff. I already knew that. modular manufactured in 1973 but not a roadable house. Everything was set up onsite in several phases floor in 2 huge pieces, walls then roof was built on site because the trusses were bought from nearby distributer lumber mills and stamped. Why don't people understand modular manufactured. Interior walls were setup with studs cut in the midwest, walls came from down south.

My house passes current code cycle as a conventional single family house building code with modern stud weight requirement and the updated will be posted to the National MLS next year, and I got a Coleman echelon series downflow 92% gas furnace with a 13SEER echelon series 3S 8.8 as installed HSPF Heatpump hot technology. Gas company is installing a meter free of charge.

The trailer paneling in one half of the basement. Looks like "Raising Arizona" down there, complete with the low ceiling.

That's getting fixed in June.

One thing I forgot to mention is the floor in the laundry room sags!! Not a problem it is the next project after the rooms. This one is going to be fun, the bathroom wall is going to be removed, all 3 closets, the bathroom vanity, and the laundry room itself is going to be gutted all simotaniously floor to ceiling. I may just include the whole bathroom in the renovation gutting if I finish it off first step.

I have a lovely house with a two stall garage.. currently one side of it has my Project L-body in it and the other side has my 325i in it... plenty of work space, 4 huge rolling tool boxes... a spacious driveway where i park my truck... sounds good .....

BUT....

Its not my house. I still live with my parents while in college. Damn.

[RidgeRunner]

I hate the fact that my house... does not exist! I do own a piece of land I could put a house on though...

I want either one of these two houses:

(or both!)

[Rhedalert]

i hate the fact that I still have to finish the sheetrocking job I started in the den

[Juglenaut]

My central heater is obsolete, can't afford to replace it and no one in my Family will work out a repayment plan. My house is all electric and don't have city code clearance for a gas even if I did I don't have a gas easement.

I have crappy fake wood paneling floor to ceiling, no basement. My improvements are taking care of the paneling issue and upgrading insulation as well.

The pictures:
One is my crappy Rudd heater that I had to retro fit several times, it is down to 3 heat coils, relocated and used a heavy duty seqencer that is used in spas, replaced the motor and lifted the filter away from the intake. Rudd does make part for this anymore and this model was discontinued and recalled in 1997 and the previous owner didn't feel like replacing of course I found this out after I closed. It is setup as a open central return down flow, sometime in the future I am redoing everything and adding a regular return plenum and duck work.

I have all the most basic tools required and more to make my own roof trusses, way in the future I will have a excavator come and clear out a 10x24 foot 8 feet deep hole in the ground out back to put a nice little basement in coupling this with a second story add on to a loft addition over my garage adding about 1k square foot. The loft will be transitioned and will be seprately accessible.

The renovation pictures show most of the work done I have tons more to document:

The picture of the pink insulation is what was in the walls, junk.

I did 99 percent of all work floor to ceiling. Used Radiant barrier in the walls with R15 insulation, rerouted electrical with new boxes and outlets, new 1/2 sheetrock on the walls and 5/8ths gypsum on the ceiling, most of the floor was replaced with 3/4 sturd-I-floor, reworked door and closet partition with new studs.

I hate my pool.

Or maybe I should say, I hate the trees in my yard and the neighbors' that hang over the pool. I'm constantly having to pull leaves out and fiddle with chemicals to keep it from clouding up.

I no longer enjoy swimming in pools; I can't keep my mind off of how much trouble they are for the poor bastard that keeps them up. Never liked swimming pools all that much in the first place. Creeks, lakes, and the ocean are more my style.

Rather have a hot tub. With a cover. And an automatic chlorination system.

What a thing to dislike, though, eh?

[sil]

[3.1cutlass]
