Should you invest in your house to get out of cash?

DJshakes and waiting hawk, I like your style!!

Tip: Sometimes you can find ads for 10 or more expensive unused white vinyl double-paned windows placed by a small developer, spec builder or flipper that got foreclosed on for about 20-30% of their value. You will have to buy them in a pkg but often can make them work, even if you can’t use them all.

You have to love c-list. I bought all top end appliances (viking, kitchen-aid, jenn-air) for a fraction of the price. All brand new. I just got windows too. I must have called every place from here to LA and the cheapest guy was in C-mont. I will have 9 windows and 2 sliders (all milgard, all custom sizes) for about $2800 after the tax credit and rebates.

[quote=waiting hawk]I would still recommend holding onto some saving for the just in case. Other than that the materials now are cheap and I did the same exact thing you are talking about many months back (all the work myself). My kitchen only costed 9500 total but I didnt spend much on cabinets. Im only about 25k into the house right now and thats after redoing my small pool. I got all the pool equipt off craigslist including a free heater that works awesome (awesome guy in North Park gave it to me).

Well, shades of 1952!!! waiting hawk, I saw your video. If that’s Alta Loma Dr. 91902, you snagged a very good buy, esp since there appears to be a fairly well-done room addition in back. Was it permitted?? Is your side of the st connected to sewer? Off the top of my head, I can’t quite remember how this is in that little pocket.

Absolutely LUV your Ikea kitchen. Did you get the ikea rollouts for shelving as well?

I saw you have a baby and/or young kid as well. If you moved to Alta Loma 91902, I just wanted to tell you that Valley Vista Elem is a very good school, very nuturing. My kids did not attend there but I have heard this from other parents.

You are a much better video camera person than me, as well. Congrats on all your good handi-work!!

Piggs, the window Federal tax credits expire 12/31/10. You don’t have to install them by then, just order them. Home Depot and Lowes will offer six months financing with 0% interest to folks who qualify. It’s about time again for Lowes to offer the vinyl Pella window discount (custom or stock). Check right before or after Thanksgiving.
