Going to be so much fun maintaining that. You 100% need to make her ass do that. All the treatment to keep the weeds out, possible repainting etc.
Yep I would say you own that in the heat of summer
The new ones today are just water pipes arnt they? It’s not electric. I mean yea I’m sure it would cost of course, but not like it’s an electric grid
A home we looked at in our current neighborhood had heated basement, heated master bath, and heated first floor. It was all run off a separate big hot water heater and valves
Think about how big of a slab a driveway is. It would take more energy than your house to heat.
Yeah they’ll build on that next year. It’s a super long 1.4 acre lot so they should be pretty far from our house. I’ll post a pic of the plot in the next post
The people that are building there are friends of friends and have a 4yo (my kid is 3) so I’m kind of excited actually
If that is the case…. Dunno if they could unless it’s set back… you should consider buying that lot. We have an empty 1+ acre next to us that we and our next closest neighbor use to ride dirt bikes and atvs for the kids. We are going to go half in and buy it. And leave it empty. It’s a nice thing to have
Hollllllyyyyyyy fuck. No thank you. Lots out here in the boonies are about 25-35k for over an acre. And you don’t have to build. You just have to maintain it. If you don’t want to cut it you can pay the HOA 300 dollars a year to cut it 5 times.
Damn 200k for a lot? I thought I had money. You be rolling in the dough.
In all seriousness. It fluctuates so much. We bought our home from the original owners. They bought the lot for 100k and built a 550k house on it. Lots now only go for 20-40k depending on the section. Weird how the houses haven’t dropped on price but the land has.
In NWI you have to go wayyyyy way way out in to the boonies to get land that cheap. It’s Indiana so basically if you want to actually work anywhere decent without driving 3+ hours a day, and you want your kids to go to a decent school, you’re paying big money for a lot lol
a friend of mine is selling a 3 acre lot in a gorgeous subdivision in valpo for over $300k right now
Do not go with a paver driveway. I have paver edges on mine and a large paver patio in my backyard. It’s a pain in the ass due the cycle of freezing and thawing in the winter, tree roots, etc. You will be spending a good amount on maintenance a few years down the road, plus power washing and polymeric sand.
If I had to do it again, I’d do a stamped concrete.
Not noticing any fences around any yards when you’re taking some of these shots, are you allowed to fence in your property with a privacy fence or anything?
IIRC fences are allowed but have to be wrought iron. Never really cared because I don’t want one
