Pre-Move In...

Welcome Back. I'm Bob Vila with one of the tenants of this beautiful townhouse C. How are you C?

C- Pretty Good Bob, its great to be on This New House.

Good to hear C. So tell me how did you end up coming to this place.

C- We'll Bob I was looking for a new place to live and just happened to find this place on the web. Its a pretty good deal, but so far its been nothing but headaches.

Really, I wouldn't think of living in a brand new house as having to be a headache.

C- Well Bob, when you move from a place where you pretty much have your own freedom, to that of living in hell its a slight adjustment. I mean I can't hang anything on walls, all the furniture that I move in has to be able to be broken down, etc, etc.

Wow that really is a change.

C- Bob that doesn't even beat this one. I was questioned on how tall my SUV is. Thats right a f*cking SUV Bob. I'm even taller than the thing and I was questioned to see if it would fit into the garage.

Do you have a hummer or something?

C- Nope just a Pathfinder, a lonely Pathfinder. So I decided to stop by an take a look at the opening myself. It was about 82 inches to the top door frame. Figure with hang about 80 inches give or take. So I guess that whole 8 inches of clearance isn't enough. Geez.

Well I believe 80 is about standard for most garages so I think you definitely have a tight ass that you are living with. Enjoy.

Well that concludes this Segment of This New House. I'd like to thank our sponsors Stanley Tools, Tyvek and Owens Corning Insulation.

For this New House I'm Bob Vila, have a good night!
