[@leilap2495]

@@JohnsonJLB and I can point out that the home aesthetic was also influenced by the homes available on the market then. I agree that the ‘90s brought more ugh to an even yuckier ‘80s aesthetic.

Popcorn ceilings were a drywalling trick popularized by builders in early 1960s. Most houses had it. My room growing up was a 1965 addition to a 1942 bungalow. The new part had blown popcorn. The old part had rolled texture real plaster. Scratch swirl texture was popular with bad builders in the 90s. I preferred flat ceilings with properly done joints. You cannot paint popcorn successfully.

I see you have walked the scorched and sticky path of flying direct to hardwood and then trying to remove that linoleum. House I grew up in was about 120 yr old, hard ass old Oak flooring, thick bastarding oak planks too. There was subflooring screwed and nailed and glued to boot. There was then linoleum, with carpet over that, then more subfloor. It was like looking at a project that never ended. Alas, everything I Learned about project planning and marriage counseling and contracting work I learned from the ages of 12 to 19, cuZ ya damn sure know that wasn't the only holy shit show hidden in the depths of that house. Yanking nails and staples by hand only to perpetually find more stabby ass foot perforators. The absolute purgatory......

Yeah, we will never own even half of what our parents did unless we work 70-80 hours a week and have no life.

I'm an electrician who works 40 hours a week as well AND have a part-time 30 hour a week job at a gas station and my wife is a nurse and we will never own a home. I'm 38 and she is 32 and we own nothing but our cars and my father paid off his FIRST (of four) homes by the age of 25! Oh well though, the human lifespan is fleeting anyways and we can't take anything with us when we die I guess... so there is that.

It is two stories and has two complete bathrooms, a huge basement, a garage, a large yard, closed in porch, four bedrooms, a large kitchen, a computer room, laundry room, big living room, and big dining room. They refuse to believe me that they could sell that house now for over 100 grand. I keep trying to tell them that people now will pay 200 grand for half that in a house. They get offers in the mail from flippers all the time to sell, though I know they never will. But it’s insane how much more expensive everything is now compared to just 30 years ago.

@@edennis8578 look I'm from there, maybe you are too, it's not like the accents are in every single city. But all ya gotta do is look up a Midwest accent analysis video on KZbin. If you're into comedy check out Fred armisens US impressions video. Or anything from Charlie Berens. Youll see the accents are similar although even that's obviously not the full story. Seeing as you've been to Minnesota you might have noticed it borders Canada... Accents mingle across adjacent regions quite a bit and that's obviously why they're similar. But it also doesn't mean everyone you talk to will have one Canada included. It's like when people talk about how much colder Minnesota is than Wisconsin. Like big surprise they can both be cold at the same time right? But both of them are way colder than Texas. Anyway trust me, people have been calling Minnesota/Wisconsin accents Canadian forever but the upper Midwest has accents of its own and Heidi's character is definitely accurate. Also sidebar I didn't even realize you weren't the person I responded to lol. If this is gonna be some sorta youtube comment battle where somehow everyone and their dog is an accent expert warn me now so I can get outta here lmao. I suppose I don't care that deeply if peoples idea of the Canadian accent is simply more memorable.

Their styles were definitely early 80s. Large eyeglasses were way out of style for women in the 90s and very few men wore a mustache like that (and we all thought the ones who did looked like child molesters.) Sometimes I think millennials use "the 90s" to refer to "before I can remember" and can actually be any time from 1972-2005.

I grew up in a ranch house with popcorn ceiling. Sleeping on the top bunk I bumped my head on the ceiling many times. We also had the kitchen cabinet that opened on both sides. We also would talk to each other through the open cabinet doors. We had a fancy openening with spindles that went between the kitchen and living room. As well as the wood paneling everywhere. This video brought me back to my childhood home.

[@charisginn6932]

Lol yes! Top bunk with the popcorn ceiling….wasn’t it so annoying how every time you bumped your head, it always broke off a bunch of little pieces that fell into your bed?? Also my sisters and I would lay there and find pictures in the patterns and make up stories about them

[@daniellehanson3137]

I feel personally attacked 😆 as a Midwesterner living in an old farm house with full wood paneling in the entire living room & entire upstairs, we scrapped the popcorn ceilings off and there was totally linoleum glued down to hardwood floors in the kitchen 🤦‍♀️😭..... yeah this is all too accurate. Thankfully the hardwood floors in the living room & office were salvaged and are now shining beautifully.

Now it's near impossible to buy a house. The 90s were a dream.

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

yep I think it is very sad that the younger generations have to somehow manage to have extreme high incomes now to even dream of owning a home in any major city. I feel so fortunate that I bought a home when I did right before things got so out of control in the city I live in. I paid $130k for my house and it's now worth over $400,000 just 15 years later. nothing about this place is worth that, it is ridiculous and honestly makes me angry that it is this way now. it doesnt even benefit me for it to be so high because that just means my property taxes go thru the roof and if I move all that money goes right to buying another overpriced house. we will probably just stay here forever and be grateful we have a home of our own.

Nice front entry way family room to the left 5 stairs up you have the dining room the kitchen and a huge breakfast nook then to the right you you have 5 stairs that go down to a large family room a bedroom a small hall way to leads to a full bathroom and the laundry room. The kitchen was open to the family room to you saw everything then you got the upstairs and that too looked over the kitchen and the family room and that had a nice long hallway 2 small bedrooms a full hall bathroom and at the end of the hall was the master with a full master suit bathroom. It was really nice it was open enough but had define spaces unlike today where just a boring open house plan where you either have to decide to out a couch or a table for dinner cuz it kitchen it right there and the a bathroom off to the side.
