And he's a great writer. I'm going to look for other things he's written. Two of my favorite lines: "Personally, I would add extra walls to give me more dark corners in which to hide when people visit. Maybe that’s just me. But I don’t think so. I know a lot of you, and most of you hate people too. Don’t lie." --Yes, that is me, too. And "By the way, what the hell is a bonus room? You’re buying the house, and you’ve undoubtedly walked through it once or twice. The room is not a surprise. It’s not like you’re going to open a closet door and it turns out it’s an entrance to Narnia." --reminds me of the tv commercial where a house hunting guy touches an owl on a bookshelf and opens a secret electronics/music room . 4 Link to comment

The Tampa couple are (according to her Facebook page), believe it or not, the same age. She posted a throwback picture of them (where she was a brunette) and someone commented on how young they looked. She said that was from when they were 24 and 25.

Amethyst October 20, 2017 Share October 20, 2017 I also liked the Montclair couple. They were genuinely sweet and it was nice to see them admit that they would probably upgrade homes in the next several years. It's hard enough having a newborn, let alone renovating on top of it. Much luck to them. Wouldn't mind seeing them on a Where are They Now episode. 4 Link to comment

laredhead October 20, 2017 Share October 20, 2017 I finally watched the Tampa episode with the sunbathing obsessed wife. She wanted privacy for her obsession, but when they showed the backyard, their next door neighbor's house is 2 stories and has a great view into their backyard. Are they going to plant 50' bamboo as a privacy fence? I agree, those people were a bit odd. I did not like the floor in the house they chose, and I will bet that furniture was theirs and they had already moved into that place when it was shown. When he looked into the master closet in one house (maybe the one they bought - I don't remember), and said that something would have to be installed to improve the hanging space and then said that seemed like a lot of work, I just rolled my eyes. What do people like that do when a light bulb burns out or something minor breaks? Sell the house? 3 Link to comment
laredhead October 20, 2017 Share October 20, 2017 Did anyone else notice that the realtor in the Montclair, NJ episode used to be on the show featuring the real estate company selling in New York City? Can't remember the name of it. Maybe "Selling New York"? Her name is Roberta. I also thought that the couple purchased the right place for their lifestyle and plans for the next few years.

KLovestoShop October 21, 2017 Share October 21, 2017 The Wisconsin couple was interesting. I lived in that area for 30 years, and when the husband said he wanted to be "on the water" which to most means a lake, I was yelling at the TV that there are no lakes in 'Tosa. And the so-called river for house three was more like a creek. If he wanted a lake house, he'd have to look on Lake Drive in Milwaukee, on the shores of Lake Michigan, and have a high 6 or low 7 figure budget. Either that or go farther west into Waukesha County and look for something on an inland lake, but again, they would need a higher budget. You're lucky to find a decent house (not a tear down cabin) on an inland lake for under $450K. In the end, I think they picked the best house for their needs. 3 Link to comment

mojito October 25, 2017 Share October 25, 2017 San Clemente, CA Ever notice how HH loves to show the flags of CA and TX? I thought any choice other than the "traditional Cape Cod" (didn't look even remotely like a Cape Cod) would have been too much of a compromise. The buyer said he wanted something that was coastal farmhouse, like that's a thing. I wonder what he had in mind? Ordinary farm house style with a "Welcome to the Beach" sign? 5 Link to comment

aguabella October 26, 2017 Share October 26, 2017 ??? Confused by the Montclair comments. Not a big deal - sometimes my ear hears what I expect instead of what someone says, too. Went back and checked the dvr ... Anyway, they planned to travel with the baby, i.e. not only before. Didn't want their "lifestyle" to suffer and would simply grab a stroller and head downtown! Uh, news flash, kids: don't forget the diapers, formula/nursing paraphernalia, wet wipes, snacks, toys ... And, btw, your lifestyle changes instantly, as soon as he/she arrives! About the RE decision, assuming they already know their preferred school district and neighborhood / home, I routinely advise buyers to purchase the home they'll remain in - instead of the temporary condo / starter home. Why? Well, purchasing it now instead of later will save them more than 50K of costs, alone. Plus, condos typically appreciate at a slower rate so then add in the higher housing costs in 4-5 years and it's far more than 100K They intended to spend (not save) their excess funds so hopefully they advance in their careers and don't find themselves priced out of that larger home. Sure realtors love the initial condo or starter home strategy. (More sales = more commissions.) But, if/when they know they're definitely moving, why not avoid the extra costs and bank the savings when young to build up their retirement funds? 1 Link to comment

Did you notice the great sun deck in the second property? The director probably put the decoy together with their home's poor tanning area plus her overexposed bod and selected that for the plot. If she remains a serious tanner, i.e. it wasn't just something she did in her youth, she probably goes to a salon. About the closet, I assumed he was referring to a custom closet. Those can be very involved and expensive so not always diy. He's an md so anything that's time-consuming and expensive, he'll use pros. Link to comment

The second one would win my vote hands down. I would be happy staying inside that cabin (house) or on the deck and never hitting a ski slope or a trail. The first one, not so much. it looks like just a place to sleep and shower. No pretty views from inside and it looked crammed up against other cabins from what I remember about the episode. I do remember thinking that the wife looked pretty great after having had a baby only about 4 weeks prior to the filming of this episode if I remember correctly. As for my DVR recording HH episodes, I have Uverse and rely on TV Guide and the Uverse guide to pick up new episodes, but for some reason, even though the listings are showing an episode as "new", the DVR isn't recording it automatically. I'm having to scroll through the channel guide and find the new shows and then setting the DVR for that show. It's only doing this on the later showings of the new HH episodes. Thanks for posting, laredhead! It surprised me that nobody had posted when it aired. Wondered if the scheduling was the issue. I do my best to ignore the homeowners but they managed to annoy me! Yes, she looked good, didn't she ... wondered if it was the flight attendant factor.* Could be an occupational requirement. Apparently they were very strict in the early days of aviation. It's probably eased up, officially but unofficially ??? Agreed, I think that 2nd place was their real competition. Looking at the photos, I realized that their place wouldn't even appear on my screen, under my criterion, if/when I'm travelling. I'll bet you noticed they removed the stove, themselves - right? (Those stoves usually work fine and look great with a brick surround. Oh well, gotta' demo everything, lol!) About your dvr, sounds like it's using a time factor to pick up the HH episodes, instead of grabbing the entire series. Does your Uverse include a "dvr manager", "dvr history" function? If you check that out, it often explains why something was / was not recorded. Just my experience ... *Funny, she said that guy picked her up on a flight? Uh, gee, if I were her, he wouldn't be my choice, lol! To each, his/her own! Edited October 26, 2017 by aguabella 1 Link to comment

mojito October 26, 2017 Share October 26, 2017 Just watched an episode of a young couple buying in Chicago. Surprisingly, one didn't insist on a high rise while the other wanted a detached home in the suburbs. One did want two stories, the other a ranch, but they didn't seem very committed to either style. She wanted a white kitchen with a large island and hardwoods; he wanted a wall for 3 TVs. They took their dog on the house hunt, which had been pre-approved. The dog was a stocky boxer. My generous side reasons that they probably wanted to see how he might handle stairs, which does make sense. But then, the other me kicked in. He made a point of showing how their dog drinks from the toilet, which he allowed the dog to do during the tour. He stated that the dog gets so thirsty and sometimes they're too lazy to fill his bowl at night. Yech, just yech. You 1) admit such a thing, 2) allow it to be filmed (he lifted the toilet seat for the dog), 3) admit just how incredibly lazy you are, and 4) commonly use the toilet with the seat up all the time or girlfriend sometimes has to sit on a wet seat.

When we renovated my dad's house, my brother did it. Squirt some water, shave it off, sweep it up, done. Then get someone in there to retexture. It was the least work of all the shit we did to that house and it made the most impact. It is messy, but if you do it before you have any furniture in and lay down some plastic it's not that hard. Stop making it seem like it will cost half the price of the house to get rid of it. And whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do people with access to an ocean insist on having a pool? You have one. A huge one.

Instead, she's ripping up carpeting, demoing the walls, taking down cabinets. It looked like they plan on redoing every room in the house. If that baby comes sooner than later, they are going to regret destroying every room in the house all at once. I didn't understand why she was complaining that house #1 wasn't Spanish style.

Again, not trying to start an argument, but I just can't understand what difference it would make. But there's very likely some very good reason that I'm not thinking of. Thanks! 3 Link to comment

You asked me if it would be an issue if a stranger's dog drank out of my toilet, and I answered your question by saying that, yes, it would be an issue. I won't be responding any more because I believe that's just what you're trying to do--start an argument. 2 Link to comment

I chose my words carefully to be as polite and unassuming as I could possibly be. Believe what you will. 5 Link to comment

Plus, I don't want to be next to other people. Washington (?) ep: He wanted country and she wanted the suburbs. They went with the awful log cabin house. I had to fast forward through most of it because the wife was driving me mad with her constant smiling. Temecula ep: wife was pregnant and looked like she was about to deliver any minute. Instead, she's ripping up carpeting, demoing the walls, taking down cabinets. It looked like they plan on redoing every room in the house. If that baby comes sooner than later, they are going to regret destroying every room in the house all at once. I didn't understand why she was complaining that house #1 wasn't Spanish style. It had the red tile roof, stucco, etc. I don't know how much more "Spanish" she wanted on a $350,000 tract home in S. California. She bugged me big time! She bugged me with all the 'cosmetic lipstick' talk. Is there a non-cosmetic lipstick? People who try to make up cute catch-phrases but are too dumb to invent one that actually makes sense annoy the he** outta me. Edited October 29, 2017 by doodlebug 4 Link to comment
Gam2 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 We had a dog that drank out of the toilet. He slopped water all over the toilet and the floor around it. Gross and messy. 6 Link to comment
