Ignore Oscar.. He sometimes posts 4 or 5 times in one night in reference to someone saying they have a problem with their "hot water heater" Saying they're crazy to heat water that's already hot... Planters, Fisher etc don't have all the nuts in the world...some of them are loose on the internet... Chuck....
OAK? !... man.. Well,,, that's one of those things.. it belongs to you,, do with it what you wish... BUT ANYONE who paints perfectly good wood or nice looking brick or rock wall / fireplace should have to display some sort of bumper sticker so the rest of us will know to steer clear... Chuck...
You're fortunate. San Antonio does not appear to be a money town. The only people who think the property values here are skyrockeing is the Tax Assessor.
I've appealed but they don't even give you the courtesy of an acknowledgement letter. Never heard from them.
If you're referring to my wife.....she gets it from her mother.
Actually the property tax is around $1900. It's the pirates at the school district who take the rest.
My wife's a nurse too. Unfortunately she has her mother's taste in colors. I do wish she had repainted before she PCS'd to MD. Would have made it easier for me.
Oh well, one room at a time. I have painted the stair wall and wet-bar area white instead of that dark blue show in the picture.
Next...the family room.
Yup! He was quite proud of it all to. I did not know what to say, I was just dumb founded by it all! Greg
It depends on the dog, and how it is cared for. Every third visitor asks how it is my house doesn't smell of dog. I tell them about my mother's comment about my pets: "They are better fed, better groomed and better disciplined than most of the children in the world." blacksalt but I agree on the nose test, although if it is for dog, the best thing to do is run the vacuum. Carpets loaded with dog smell permanently alter vacuum cleaners, IME
And the main thing that I saw in the pictures that I disliked was all that dark wood trim. To each his own :-) When we bought our house, among the first improvements we made were changing out the dark hollowcore doors with white six panel doors and painting all the dark brown trim white. It made the whole house look much brighter and bigger. We also painted every white wall in the house a different color.
I wouldn't have cared WHAT color the walls in the house were when we bought it. Painting each room a different (not white) color was a given for us.
The OP's blue walls didn't bother me in the least.
More fortunate than people in the opposite condition, to be sure. But all the OTHER houses around here have gone up just as much, so it's not like it's real money, unless I plan to move out of the city entirely.

Invite 3 friends who don't have dogs. Ask them if the place smells like dogs. If so, make allowances in the selling price for replacement of all carpets. Dog owners usually don't notice how disgusting those animals smell.
I don't think the dogs are a problem...odor wise. Some people have commented on them just being there, but I just told them the dogs go with me....not the house.
Also have them with collars that give a mild shock when they bark so they aren't that noisy when we're in the backyard. I don't know if I even need the collars now since they don't bark that much anymore.
They're also limited to areas of the downstairs with ceramic tile on the floors. The floors are scrubbed daily with vinegar water.
Better than that. The movers have taken all but those bare essentials to Maryland.
One minor detail was omitted. The location of the house. To some people that might be an issue...
Location of military bases suggest San Antonio, TX.
