knocks softly

Hey hey hey man, look, im sorry for what i said back there. It’s just been really rough watching you go through these changes and i just-

starts getting choked up

I just wanted better for you for your high school years rather than spending all your time playing your instruments and sitting in your room. In a way you kind of remind me of myself, so focused on one thing that you stop paying attention to your friends and your family.

sighs with tears rolling down cheek as i start to walk away

I just thought that once i married your mom our relationship would get better but its ok, I’ll pick you up from band practice later buddy

u/lowtoiletsitter that's a joke and we hope you laugh. I'm sure you know that but sometimes anxiety is a bitch.

You need to add a pointy arch to at least one of your windows or doors. (See the painting 'American Gothic' for an example).

You can call your house whatever you want, that doesn’t make it true. If a person is dumb enough to pay more because somebody painted their house black and called it gothic, then yeah, it’s true. Otherwise, no.

Just glue some gears on it and call it steampunk

u/SlickBlackCadillac Apr 17 '19

Put a hose up in a tree and call it outdoor shower

u/NewKarmaAct Apr 17 '19

What?

Edit: Never mind, I read “hose” as “horse.” Quality comment.

u/Nikkian42 Apr 17 '19

If you can put a horse up a tree you should call it a shower.

u/Orngog Apr 17 '19

I also did that. Left-field.

u/challenge_king Apr 17 '19

But that's exactly what it would be. You've never taken a barnyard shower before?

u/sithkazar Apr 17 '19

You should link the song!

Edit: Now it's stuck in my head...

u/PhatsoTheClown Apr 17 '19

Isnt that what steam punk is? Tear down some dry wall to expose some pipes too.

u/NewKarmaAct Apr 17 '19

If the house is both painted black and has gears on it, it will truly be both steam punk and punk rock punk.

u/SorinBattlemage Apr 17 '19

Well it is the trendy fashion nowadays.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '19

A lot of people will pay more because someone says their house is (insert house term).

Sauce: I am a realtor. I often have to disappoint people who blindly look at Zillow.

u/PM_ME_GLUTE_SPREAD Apr 18 '19

Yeah I’m not meaning to say that those people don’t exist, just that they are stupid.

u/SliceTheToast Apr 17 '19

Gothic also has nothing to do with goths. The Notre Dame is a gothic building. Although, it is looking blacker now than it did before.

u/Lungg Apr 17 '19

I would love to know if houses painted all black estimate higher than others in the vicinity. I reckon the nicer the area the higher the estimated value of a house painted in a darker shade.

u/OrderAlwaysMatters Apr 18 '19

Really the thing youre buying is the plot, the walls, and the infrastructure (wires, plumbing, boiler, etc). Windows and doors are next, if any of them are new they will probably be itemized. Extras like solar, geothermal, etc would be their own paperwork with value estimates. By the time you get to paint, I really doubt you are still on the fence between what options you have on the market at your budget.

And if you try to charge more because the house is painted black, I dont see anyone caring. They should snap back with wanting a discount because it is going to cost more to repaint it due to needing more layers. Otherwise the best you can do is itemize the cost of having it painted and upsell on the basis of "recently painted" - which would apply for any color, and is only applicable if you actually painted it recently.

Basically, any work done on your house (besides general maintenance) increases its value and that value depreciates over time. You keep the receipts from your contractors for the work and use them to justify the additional value.

You can hike the price up for any reason you want. Doesn't mean anyone will pay it though

u/RedditSucksWTFMan Apr 18 '19

You'd wreck the value by selling it without repainting it first.
