In the words of Jonathan Coulton

Ikea -- if you don't have a home, you can buy one there.

Trilby 01-12-2013 12:42 PM

jim, jim, jim...

...ever since you got famous (yeah, I saw that commercial you camera hog!) things have been going downhill.


srsly, I"m sorry about all this. Plumbing, cars....worst shite to deal with.

jimhelm 01-12-2013 01:46 PM

Cars?

You better not be jinxing me. I have not had any car issues.... Not since I became famous art least.

oooo!

I like this set! $350 for both!

If it doesn't smell like pee.... I think it will go perfect. I have to measure the room, but I'm pretty sure this will go great:

jimhelm 01-12-2013 02:13 PM

well, I jutht sthpoke to Mark. I'm going to check the measurements in my living room, and go theee it and parhapth buy them on Thunday.

orthodoc 01-12-2013 02:49 PM

I take it you bit your tongue in your excitement?

$350 for both is a great price. I'd bite my tongue, too.

glatt 01-12-2013 03:31 PM

It's a good omen that the guy has a fancy white carpet, and it's clean.

jimhelm 01-12-2013 03:32 PM

Yes, he sounded...fastidious.

I just hope it doesn't sell before I get there!

Trilby 01-13-2013 12:44 AM

Jim, just so's ya know, I'll be needing the longer couch when I come to visit.

ZenGum 01-13-2013 07:47 AM

Trilby, just so's you know ... no you wont! ;)

The love seat.... Pictured with no legs because I fucking left them at the dude's house! Hes gonna mail them to me.

Attachment 42450
And the couch.

The couch fills up one end of the living room, so I put the love seat in the middle room. That room is supposed to be a dining room, but I'm just gonna get a little bar table for it. I have my computer in there, and now the love seat. I think this is the room I will spend most of my solo time in.

jimhelm 01-13-2013 10:35 PM

Oh, and dude was not gay. I met his old lady. Just a nice, soft spoken guy. Apart from a tiny tear and some cat hair, the furniture is perfect. 6 years old, but looks new. The part you sit on is extra long/deep... So you need those big pillows behind you or you wind up slouching back.... Great for tucking legs up and getting comfy tho.

Trilby 01-13-2013 10:35 PM

Huh. He thinks he'll be 'solo'.


somebody clue jim in.

hell to the yes. My cousins grew up there. They're your typical Jersey boys, accent and all (and all they eat is Italian food even though they're French Canooks)

They did move, though------to Easton, Pa.

jimhelm 01-17-2013 12:01 AM

Picked up the forgotten legs today. I've fallen asleep on the couch twice already. Very pleased with it!

BigV 01-17-2013 02:35 AM

I know right!?

When my legs fall asleep, it feels like I've forgotten them, heh, or they've forgotten me. Unlike you, I didn't find the experience pleasant.

glatt 01-17-2013 08:28 AM

I have a little couch envy. Ours are really old and we've got slipcovers over them. They are comfy though.

Pete Zicato 01-17-2013 07:19 PM

A comfy couch is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

xoxoxoBruce 01-17-2013 07:22 PM

Comfy couches lead to sloth. :haha:

jimhelm 01-17-2013 07:35 PM

Fucking right they do! I was supposed to go to the gym tuesday morning, but I watched 3 episodes of Big Bang Theory on on demand instead.

classicman 01-17-2013 11:43 PM

You need another alarm clock near the couch.
you've been warned.

jimhelm 01-18-2013 12:40 AM

My cell phone is my alarm clock...and I always keep it in the same room I'm in.

And I never don't have to pee at 4 am

Oh! Duh!

you know this whole caper reminds me of the time Jan ruined the playing card tower because the charm on her bracelet made it all fall down,......good times, good times.

jimhelm 01-19-2013 09:50 AM

Caper..... I like it.

Griff 01-19-2013 10:00 AM

Now we see where the cool kids hang out! :cool: Looks like big fun guys.

I got a full refund from Pier 1 for a couch we bought there that didn't hold up. We were looking for a new one, but I decided to build a two level futon thing instead.

Clodfobble 01-19-2013 10:08 AM

You just gave me a major flashback... in college there was a guy who built "stadium seating" for his two couches, so one was elevated above and behind the other. It was surprisingly awesome.

limey 01-19-2013 10:34 AM

I see Jim has a girlfriend built into the couch. Awesome indeed!

jimhelm 01-19-2013 10:39 AM

Yeah, she was in full couch cammo.

She fell victim to the blue sleep eater last night....

'Go ahead to bed, I'll be in in a few minutes, just gonna finish watching My Cousin Vinny....'

She came to bed at 7:55 am, lol. Fucker is dangerously comfy.

Undertoad 01-19-2013 10:55 AM

Good times. Amanda is a delight, and she and James seem really comfortable together. The place is awesome with an awesome location! And he has already made it his own with aggressive but tasteful decorating, and also, he has a computer with an awesome case. I recommend hanging with Jimbo.

Couch Camo! Very nice evening. You are all lucky fools!

classicman 01-20-2013 12:02 AM

I totally picked up on the Y & Z in previous pics.
I'm definitely coming up/over... just gotta figure out when.

Big Sarge 01-20-2013 12:17 AM

Looks like ya'll had a great time. I'm envious

Check out this cute very manly kitchen cart I got.

Attachment 42722

It looks like a tool box!

Aliantha 02-04-2013 07:21 PM

I'd love one of those for my kitchen. It'd be awesome.

Undertoad 02-04-2013 09:19 PM

ooo pretzels

Aliantha 02-04-2013 10:30 PM

Are those carpet squares on the floor? Is that common in the US? I don't think I've ever seen anyone with carpet in any form in the kitchen before.

jimhelm 02-04-2013 10:47 PM

The black and white checked part is a throw rug. The red and black areas near the counter are padded mats. The putty colored area is the tile floor

Aliantha 02-04-2013 10:57 PM

Ah tiles. That seems more normal. :)

A friend of mine once had a really bad accident requiring skin grafts because of mats in the kitchen.

It could have had something to do with the hot oil for the chips we were trying to cook in order to calm the midnight munchies too though. It was a long time ago.

ZenGum 02-05-2013 01:05 AM

I'm not sure it's fair to blame the mats. :)

Aliantha 02-05-2013 01:12 AM

Maybe not. Luckily for him he was so off his face that he was more amazed at his peeling flesh than how much pain he was in. I was enough off my face not to need to throw up at the sight.

I have carpet in my kitchen. So does my mom. And my mom's mom. And my mom's mom's mom before her.

Not really. Just me. My mom used to. It's a thin kitcheny carpet.

Lamplighter 02-05-2013 09:34 AM

My G-son's place has carpet in the kitchen, sun porch, and outside deck and steps.
We are so adverse to carpet in the kitchen we all said it needed to be replaced.
But then said maybe to wait til all the upstairs construction is finished.

So for the past few weeks, Sam has not cleaned up anything that fell on the kitchen floor.
There are bits of food, construction debris including nails and screws, along with fishing tackle including hooks
Shoes are now mandatory.

Sometimes I wonder about him.
It will take "cut-proof" gloves to pull up that carpet when the time comes.

infinite monkey 02-05-2013 09:37 AM

Elayne Boosler's mother: Your kitchen floor needs cleaned! Look at my floor, you could EAT off it.

Elayne Boosler: You can eat off my floor too, there's plenty to eat down there.

(I paraphrase, don't know the exact joke.)

Chocolatl 02-05-2013 09:37 AM

Carpet on the outside deck? How does that work? Doesn't it get moldy in the rain?

infinite monkey 02-05-2013 09:38 AM

Outdoor carpeting.

What planet do y'all be from? Planet AntiCarpetia? ;)

http://www.lowes.com/cd_Install+Indo...pet_199930654_

Chocolatl 02-05-2013 01:20 PM

I didn't know they made such a thing!

My last experience with outdoor carpeting was when my alcoholic grandfather picked up some discarded beige carpet from the side of the road on his way home from work one day and them carpeted the back yard with it. (So that he wouldn't have to mow the grass anymore.)

Lamplighter 02-05-2013 01:38 PM

just saw this at Target the other day:

Attachment 42751

That will compliment that cart I got, and hold some food or dishes... not sure which yet. I have a little encyclopedia britanica book case sitting next to my fridge right now. I'll put this in it's place.

There are some really good deals on target's website in the clearance section of the furniture.

I also ordered two of these to go on either side of the tele:
Attachment 42753


looks tiny, but they are 6' high, 32.5" wide, 18" deep. I'll put the 2nd monitor for the computer on the right, and a lamp on the left... the front surround speakers on the top shelves, and pictures and stuff on the others.

xoxoxoBruce 02-07-2013 03:54 PM

How do they work, lean against the wall like a ladder?
