    Re: I bought a house

    I'm just waiting on the market to blow up again. As someone currently looking for their first home, it's brutal out there right now.

    This was the selling point for me. The den

    That's the furniture from the previous owner. I'll be working on that gigantic built in this weekend to accomodate a larger tv.

    The den is HUGE.
    Any after photos yet? Did you get the TV to fit?

    3 bed/3 ba, 2600 sqft, little over .25 acre, on a quiet cul-de-sac. Had to go 10k over to beat out three other bidders. Needs some updating cosmetically, but that's about it. Great location. I would not have gotten a deal like this in my hometown, though. Or a few other slightly more desirable, neighboring suburbs.

    I did get the tv off the floor finally. Need to do some tweaks though. Pictures are coming once i finish though.

    Thing was definitely made in the 90's. particle board with a wood veneer. but they glued 1/2 inch plywood in between each cabinet. Cutting it was hell, but explains the studiness i felt. So it's getting painted. TV is getting framed out. I've added a center speak, and my sub woofer arrives next week. Now that the tv is off the ground, somehow, it looks smaller.

    I'd live there.

    So when I said "where you do you put the 65" TV, you said "65"? Why even bother with a set that small?"

    really? They told me two weeks in the store.

    hmm. guess I am making a trip there again today.

    from their website:

    Special considerations:


    • At the time of sale, we price match all local retail competitors (including their online prices) and we price match products shipped from and sold by these major online retailers: Amazon.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, HP.com, Newegg.com, and TigerDirect.com.
    • We match BestBuy.com prices on in-store purchases and in-store prices on BestBuy.com purchases.
    • If we lower our in-store or online price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request.
    • Our Price Match Guarantee covers new items (excludes clearance and open-box items). One price match per identical item, per customer, at the current pre-tax price available to all customers is allowed.


    The exchange period, I believe is 2 weeks, or one week ago for me. However, that model no. is on sale on Amazon for $998 https://www.amazon.com/Sony-KD70X690.../dp/B072FRV68G So I have no idea if they price match 3 weeks after the sale.

    doug, the photo is almost too good to be true.

    I must ask- would that be considered masonry or frame?
