Moving to Mountain Brook.  We're quite pleased.

Congrats!

Hey general so pleased for you. Congrats. I come over to Hoover every 3rd Friday for a meeting. I have nothing else about the land here but I still got you in mind if they want to dig for gas. RTR to you. RTR!

Congratulations!

Congrats, Smitty.

Great.

Post pics when you get there.

Congratulations.   :worship:

Nice neighborhood. Are you working in the B'ham area?

Thanks, closing is in about a month so hopefully it all goes through.

And yes, my office is in Homewood.

"We're?"  Did you get married or something?

More congrats, General.  I've spent much time in Mountain Brook, Homewood and Shades Valley.  Great houses and good people, of which you are one.

basically

Thank you that's very kind

Congratulations from me too smithgeneral!

Here is a pic from the listing

Thank you, what are you wearing?

Same old things mostly.  I live for comfort!

Love your house....very neat and rustic.  It looks like you.  Hope
there is room for a yellow lab or two!  :D

Harvey Updyke isn't your landscape guy, is he?  :lol2:

That brought back an old laugh!


Good job on the house, S.

I thought the same thing.  A little of the old Coonass is still with us.

It's a winter pic

I know. I was just messing with ya. Nice place.

Actually I was being modest about the "same old things." 

I just got in from a wonderful evening and I am wearing a sapphire blue
Valentino.  8)

 

P.S.  Ok....I have had a glass or two of champagne....but those don't
look like the same trees in the winter and summer pictures of your
house.  :-\

Anybody agree?

Smitty is the king of landscaping, but even he couldn't manage this!
Are these photos 25 years apart, or a Photoshop modification?
That 40-year-old pine tree (summer pic) is not in the winter pic, and vice versa for the oak trees at right, plus the shrubs and yard levels differ.

Is this, as the Cajuns say, 'an optical delusion'?

Yes it does, could be the angle?  I dont know really, I pulled both of those off the web listing ...

The winter pic must be the most recent.  No way you could grow a huge pine tree there. 
It's so odd; I wonder if the newer image was corrected for distortion.  Look at the difference in the symmetry of the roof lines.  The summer pic makes the right roof look longer than left.  The winter pic makes the roof look symmetrical.

I studied those pictures myself when they were posted.  I came to the conclusion that the primary difference is the camera angle.  The 2 oaks on the right that form a V in the winter pic are all the way over on the left in the summer pick.  If you look closely, you can see the V toward the top of the summer pic, meaning the leaning tree is more obscured by the tree in the foreground.  So the huge pine tree in the summer pic is out of frame to the right in the winter pic.  There also appears to be at least some time passage between the two pics, judging by the size of the shrubs next to the house.

I also know of some real estate agents who will occasionally photoshop a tree out of a picture if it is blocking the view of the house, but I don't think that is the case here.

Wow....that HUGE pine tree between the two far windows is completely
hidden in the winter picture.  There is only a space there.  Who would have thought.  :-\   

Also, the main oak tree no longer branches out at the top (near the peak of the roof).  It now goes straight up.

But I believe you SUPERCOACH!  :D

I looked up the listing.  The big pine tree is indeed there in the summer photos (pic 20 of 21).  And from the pic-20 view, the tree appears farther from the house than from the street view.

I believe you are correct, SC.  E-cred and  :worship:

This guy is giving a "Hook 'em horns"?

close on friday.  What a pain in the ass.  If you havent bought a home lately, what a pain in the ass compared to 2003

Congratulations!  :D

I haven't bought a house lately....but can imagine the headaches.

I closed on some land the other day after a two month long process.  At the closing, there were stacks of papers to sign.  I sold an acre off a larger piece of land and learned how complicated it is for a small city government to divide a piece of property.  But its finally done.  :lol2:      

closed, moving tomorrow.   #+

took two hours, the HUD had to be fixed twice, the seller agent was a drama queen, the seller found out her favorite uncle dies halfway through, and the mortgage guy was sitting next to a running AC on a 50 degree day and almost went hypothermia.  Our agent was texting us during the ordeal being hilarious, We cant stop laughing about.  Best closing ever?  Maybe.

I am glad you go5t it done general. Best to you both and many happy years in that beautiful. yea I said beautiful and no I have not seen it but if it is right the the General and Mrs. It is got to be right. RTR!

Better than any I've ever had. All the closing's I've been involved in were excruciatingly boring, except for one, which I was an absentee buyer.
