Hey Everybody, So I have been looking at houses and have not yet found the one. Well, actually I have put a bid on one, but so did someone else that same day and they got the house. Anyway, I have some questions about houses in general, and I am hoping you guys can help me out again.
What do you think about vinyl siding? It always feels loose to me, but I am told it is just how the vinyl siding is. I am not sure what I think about it. Are there things that should concern me besides appearance? What are the worries around retaining walls? Should I be concerned about having my neighbors yards fall into mine, or mine into theirs? Basements, I think. One house I like is built on a hill and has half of the bottom floor underground. You come in the front door on the stair landing. What should I be concerned about as far as flooding or leaking? You guys should also talk to me about being sensible. I really like this one house that is no where near a bus line, and at least half a mile to the nearest shopping for groceries and stuff. That's half a mile with little kids in tow too. The house isn't even my dream house or anything. I am just in love with the back yard. Jennifer [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
