Don't forget the wall paintings and some plants when you furnish it. And the entertainment center. And a bed large enough for more than one, um, person. And a hands free toilet. Gotta have the hands free toilet.

Does that have robotic arms that undoes your flies and gets it out?

Personally I've never seen a toilet with hands!

I do have some pics, just not online. The profiles I have online don't support photo hosting (like CP)

There are sites like imgur or you can use your personal space on CP. You can't just tell us about it with no pics, that's not even right!

Wow, I just found the 'My uploads' section here on CP, never knew that was there!
Anyway, there's a reason I don't have such profiles.
You're welcome to visit though (it's in the Netherlands). So I'll see you saturday around 1pm?

Congrats on the new house. You have to do the floors and walls? Finish/Painting?

Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Yeah, probably some wallpaper, and/or maybe paint on the walls and PVC on the floors. And of course I'll need curtains, lamps, etc.

Gotcha, never heard of person buying new house and having to do those things. Usually the contractor won't allow it.

What are you talking about?
The house is delivered with concrete floors and walls so each buyer can put in the floors and walls finish they like (paint, stucco, wallpaper, tiles, pvc, laminate, etc.).
All houses are delivered that way. At least over here.

I see, here in the states we don't do that not sure why, well yeah I guess I do most Americans are idiots and couldn't paint a wall to save there ass so the liability on the part of the contractor would be huge.

I'm not American, but neither can I 
I'm hiring someone to do it for me. And it's not the contractor.
It makes sense to me to do it this way though. My house doesn't even have a kitchen in it. Because what's the first thing everyone is going to do if there is a kitchen in the house? They're going to break it out and get their own kitchen that they like.
I know that my neighbour liked cooking and spent about twice as much on his kitchen as I did. But my floor is more expensive because I wanted a good floor that let's heat through (for the floor heating). Everyone has their own preferences so don't let the contractor pick for you. And from the contractors perspective, don't pick for the customer.

Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (For those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland.)
Dear Mum & Dad,
I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the station - tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody horses to get in, no calves to feed, no troughs to clean - nothin'!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!
At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or goanna stew like wot Mum makes You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march' - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the bullock paddock!!
This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody dingo's arse and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of p...!! You don't even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!
Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.
Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer.
I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is.
Your loving daughter,
Susan

Good one, I've seen variations of this but never a female.

Really? 
Every version of this I'd seen was from a woman and written to imply that city boys were weak and unmanly. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

After thinking about it your probably right, hadn't heard it in a long time and memories getting bad.
