Painted driveways look dated and terrible after a few years and need to be redone. What a waste of money. Painted garage floors are another waste of money. Nothing wrong with concrete. If a new buyer wants it, they can have it done to their taste. As far as interior flooring goes, same thing, you may love that shade of wood floor and buyers may hate it. Don't chase what you think buyers would like. Do renovations that you like and will enjoy otherwise you're just wasting your money.

Total agreement. Unless you are planning to flip the house, this is supposed to be your HOME. It should be what you want, not what others think you should or shouldn't have. The only one you need to please is you!

The kitchen is also the place that everyone hangs out when social gathering.

Seems the taping off is just to let the driveway dry and cure. Do people in you neighborhood actually leave the security tape up all the time? Seems excessive; no?

I agree about the crown molding. It not only screams "old folks live here" but, to me, also makes the rooms appear smaller and the ceilings not as high.

Regarding the plain concrete driveways......I much prefer pavers which appear "richer" to me than painted driveways. But.....that is just my opinion.

Hasn’t happened on my street yet. Everyone parks in their garage, including us.

We had a large pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen in our Tampa house for
17 years. Now we no longer want any of those things. Too much responsibility
and been there done that!

I think we are the last people in T.V. that still have and LOVE carpet.

I would agree with crown molding, different color in every room, flower/beach/etc patterns on everything. Though I would also say that all these are personal preferences for each of us.

However I would disagree with the pool/spa comment on two angles, it's definitely worth it as homes with pools sell and rent for a lot more here. We used ours almost every day, even when we aren't in it we are watching the water falls from inside our offices. We even use the spa during the colder days after a quick heating. So again, I guess it boils down to personal preference. My wife is a chemist and actually likes the challenge to keep the pool perfect haha! So we haven't paid for much in regards to maintenance that we weren't happy to pay for the benefits it affords us.

So like most everything, to each their own, I try not to judge, though we all have our own opinions. The difference between most, is that some just like to try and push theirs on others. ;)

I agree with same flooring through most of the house - not tile - Vinyl plank. However, the master should be carpet. Nobody likes stepping onto a cold floor. I have 2 rental homes in TV, and allmost all my renters have commented they like the carpet in the master bedroom. Tile is very hard on old knees, but LVP is softer. I would never buy a house with hard floors in the master bedroom. Sorry.

I think that you only get FRESH AIR in through the open windows for a few hours after a rain. Other times you are better off with the air circulated through the A/C's filters. The outside air from the close by streets contains CO and CO2 from the noisy gas (non - catalytic convertered, non-mufflered exhaust. So it is NOT "fresh air". And the air often contains pollen.

I prefer wearing slippers or sandals to having dirt catching wall to wall rugs in the bedroom. I prefer wood in the main bedroom.

I have 2 pools within walking distance of my house that I can meet nice people at. Why anyone has their own in TV is beyond me - you never see anyone in them. The people who claim they are cooler - do you have a chiller? We love the pools in the summer. We didn't have to pay $80K for one and we don't have to pay upkeep.

I would not live here without a pool. Our pool is used daily. There is nothing like jumping into the pool in the morning and floating n the pool in the evening looking up at the stars. Worth every dollar we paid.

I agree an individual pool is like throwing money away.
