i'll trade any item that i have to get a house!

[Gato Moteado]

i'll trade any item that i have (except my dog) for a house. but i don't want to wait a year like that canadian guy did. i have to be able to snag the house on the first trade.

does anyone have an extra house they don't need? if so, let me know what it is you're looking for and i'll trade you for the house if i have it.

2. ohiosmith, I have to say this.

You are, without question, one of the wittiest posters in the lounge. You always say the funniest things.

3. Ah shucks!

4. Let me check the Monopoly board and then get back to you.

You do have a paper clip, right?
:P

5. ahhh Gato! I feel your pain

the moving van is loaded sittting in the front yard, we are living on an Aerobed, two dining chairs and our TV is on a patio side table.

the buyer's loan agent dropped the ball AGAIN today

hopefully we'll be out of here tomorrow but this is getting OLD!! :banghead:

but why are you lookin for a house? I thought you were fixing up your tropical garden as we speak! is your garden just in the fertile fields of your mind? :crazy:

7. actually, i do have a house.

but i figured if some guy can trade a paperclip for a house, then surely i must have something that would interest somebody enough to trade a house for.

[Gato Moteado]

14. so, what's going on with the sale of your house?

is the deal not completely done?

[NMDemDist2]

16. not yet, but we're going in this morning to sign (only 3 days late)

hopefully it will fund within the next 24 hours.

I'll need to load my laptop, aerobed, 3 dogs and a cat and hit the road for a 700 mile road trip sometime today

oh joy......

[Gato Moteado]

17. OK....have a safe trip!

drive carefully. and take many photos of the new place when you get there.

[everythingsxen]

15. Well...

I don't have anything definate yet. If you are a pure and good soul, I think I could find you a pretty nice house...
