I would love a fully finished basement that had a bathroom so that I don't have to keep running upstairs every five seconds when I need to go.

A bigger kitchen.

Only 1? How about 1000 more square feet, and I'll make refinements later. ;)

Although I love being on a big hill, I wish the street didn't have cars that speed up and down at 60 miles an hour. It would be nice if the kids could ride their bikes in front of the house, but that is way too dangerous.

I'd take out all the carpet and replace it with hardwood floors. Then I'd re-do the entire kitchen. Sorry, I couldn't stop at one.

Increase its value to at least what I paid.

So many projects, so unable to choose. Probably the dark scary, basement laundry room. I delay doing laundry until I MUST. DO. LAUNDRY. because the laundry room is so dark and scary...

The laundry room. It was destroyed by the previous tenants and was the only room not repaired. Hopefully we can repair it before our new washer and dryer comes.

I'm with Awesome Mom--I want a finished basement, but I don't even need a bathroom down there.

I'm so easy!

Bigger! My house is so small, the only thing that helps me not feel claustrophobic in it, is that my closest neighbor is 1/4 mile away.

Put a basement underneath it. The crawl space is big enough to stand up in, but it would be nice to dig it out and have a finished basement.

Yeah, yeah, it's Monday and I'm answering a Friday poll. I'm thinking you don't mean the carpet, so I'd have a garage rather than just a covered carport. But, honestly, we found a perfect home which I still adore, eight years later.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
