Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Anyone with M60 or M80 in the DC area?

That place is beautiful - especially the kitchen.

Seeing places like that (ca 1890s) really throws me for a loop. Old houses around here were put up in the '70s.

Very neat looking crib. Can't wait to see the HT all setup.

Ajax,

The building was put up around 1890. It was broken into floors (with two duplexes on the first floor) in the sixties. We're on the top floor - so the three windows you see are us (which you can't see in the pictures, cause the fireplace is blocking it)....

Thanks for all the complements though guys. It's comign along slowly but surely, one room at a time (more like one component at a time, actually). Tonight, in fact, I tried to tackle my "rat's nest" problem, somewhat successfully, and much to the delight of the better half.

About the lights and kitchen and stuff - the people who lived there before us renovated before they got out of the place (and probably made a pretty penny on the profit from us as well). The D.C. real estate market is outrageous right now. It's a hard to find a place as it is to afford one. I think my wife and I got lucky - we got it for asking (in no small part due to the hike you take every time you come in and leave the place).

Nice pad

Where in DC are you? I actually live in Burtonsville... between Columbia and Silver Spring.

UMDterp - (which translates into University of Maryland Terp for you non-East Coasters)

Thanks. I'm on T Street, N.W., just South of Adams Morgan and North of Dupont Circle.

By the way - I am a UVAcav (which translates into University of Virginia Cavalier). We'll fight about that rivalry later.

thats a nice area of DC...

at least you aren't from Duke or UNC... that would cause a lot of tension around here.... hehehehe

when i was in the military and stationed out in north carolina, i visited the UNC tarheel campus. i would have to say that the UNC campus/chapel hill area, is quite possibly the most beautiful campus i have ever seen. it had beautiful buildings, and it seemed to be perfectly in tune with the trees and natural habitat surrounding it. i was so intrigued by it, i almost stayed in NC and went to school there.. but, in the long run, i missed texas enough to get on back, and get my education here.

dont be a tarheel/blue devil hater just cause they can kick some terp butt on the hardwood!!

hahaha.... 4 years of undergrad plus another 2 of grad school at UMD teach you to have a rather strong dislike for Duke and UNC.

The UNC and Duke campuses are both very nice... Chapel Hill is a great area. I worked for Nortel down in Research Triangle Park for a summer 3 years ago back when I was in school...

At least we can all agree that Virginia Tech is a bunch of no good losers, though, right?!?

what in the hell is a hookie anyway???
