Building equity and right now, home prices are doing nothing but going up.

Who's problem is that. You WANTED to live there. So quit your bitchin'.

I need a clip or something that will prevent USB male end from coming unplugged on extension cable. I dont want to use a square knot or something like electrical extension cords.

I have 38 rooms to do so its gotta be kinda fast to install. I could use 3 zipties to hold them together but that takes forever and looks like crap.

Some places, it's going down. The Farmington NM area is crashing. A lot of people got laid off from the oil and gas industry there. Wifey found some nice houses going for cheap.

Ok, the city of 44K people in the middle of the NM desert house prices are going down. :icon17:

Seen some newer 5,000 sqft houses with huge garage/shops going for under $250,000. It's a buyers market right now. Middle of the desert doesn't thrill me either. Don't have to worry about cutting the grass tho.

Thats not bad at all, price wise. I missed the lush green when I lived in Phoenix. Even driving up to Sedona/Oak Creek area just didnt scratch that itch.

A few wraps of electrical should do the trick. Get high-quality tape (eg, 3M 33+) and adhesive residue will be minimal if you need to disassemble some time down the line.

Our electrician said the same thing but the residue was a big concern because peripherals die often and a sticky mess in a patient room is not going to fly either. I'll pickup a roll and test it out, thank you for the suggestion.

Good Tuesday Morning All. 103* for the high today with 0% chance of rain. :eek: Once again we did luck out yesterday evening with a passing shower here at the house. Wasn't much but we will take it. :tup: Have a good one guys. It's time to get rocking. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands. :tup:

:hello: Morning Folks, heavy strumming at the door right now :icon14:
Better take care of business :ugh2:

Not here. It’s a sellers market. Not enough inventory and houses are selling fast at prices I wouldn’t expect.

The first Tuesday since the first week in March I've woke up in my own bed :icon14:

It's cold :shakes head: Well cold for the first week of August. 56° with a high of 72° :yum: Much better than the mid to upper 90s we normally have this time of year.

Started some bin repair yesterday. There where 6 new bins that were blown over or critically damaged a few weeks ago with some wicked straight line winds. The demo guys made a mess of everything. They didn't even take the nuts off the anchor blots:shakes head: just ripped the old tank down and drug it off the side of the foundation.

I'm fixing the foundation under the one with the dent. The floundation under the one that fell is in better shape than the one that had to be taken down.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f844431df0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...09263dc28e.jpg

That’s some wind. That’s damage we don’t see here cuz everything is designed to hurricane force winds. If we get damage like that, something hit it.

It was still under construction. I don't think any of the bins that fell had the bridges set on top of them.

But it was like 80+ mph gusts in that storm. Could have been a downburst too. Those are not uncommon in the midwest.

I sincerely wish my roof was only 8k to replace :ugh2:

Congrats to you Lein! First house is a big deal. I don't know if you're handy in terms of construction skills, but your local community college may have some classes. I highly advise these. Paying for home repairs sucks! There are things I'll pay for at this point just to get them done quickly, but I always resent the need, and am glad for the ability to tell good work from bad work.

Thats what happens when you live in a palace!

Dude leave the kid alone ....he is a grown man now with grown up nuggets trying to be responsible Home owner!:tiphat:

whatevaa..:icon23:

My dad is a loan originator. FHA 30-yr will be $858 monthly. I can easily handle that. It's just the highest amount of money I've ever had to pay monthly is all. Messes with my head that I am effectively paying over double what the Z cost me for a 5 yr loan.

It's real bad here. I am definitely buying at the wrong time. Sellers market here right now where 70k houses are going for 90k. I honestly think we lucked out with ours right at 100k. Between the pool, fenced in backyard, nice garage, and new roof. We should be all set. And it's in a neighborhood where surrounding houses are in the 130k range.
Thank you!!!! I know how to use a power drill and swing a hammer. Have enough friends I can call favors on to come fix really broken things for cheap. Otherwise, i will just be your everyday homeowner and learn from my mistakes.

ohh excuse, i must have missed the part where i was bitchin..:icon17::icon17:I live in paradise baby... be jealous.:tup:

:rofl2: so you're literally pissing away money for no return.

for a few more months...

Unfortunately, that was the thought process the last owner of my house had... I'm still fixing his mistakes :shakes head:

My palace has a distinct lack of serfs to handle my workload! I need to subjugate the surrounding populace! :tup:

Good morning gentlemen!:tiphat:Nice and cool here today.High in the low 80s.:tup:

here, its nice and sunny, 82 degrees, gonna be in the 90s, about to hit the gym..:rock:

morning :hello:

Travel day :driving:

Congrats on the house. :tup:

Ditto on what JL said. I'm continually finding things that the previous owner did halfway and having to figure out how to fix it. My suggestion is to paint and replace carpet (if you are going to do either) before you move in. Less stuff to move around and less worries about getting paint where it doesn't belong.

Our plan is to paint, replace, and fix whatever is needed before we move in at all. Less work than having to shift an entire room later on to work on stuff. The upstairs master bedroom needs paint and some cosmetic work. The basement needs a thorough dusting. The kitchen needs a deep clean for sure. The house needs gutters, dry-lock the basement, and a dehumidifier put in place. But other than that, everything looks good. Until we get the report back from the home inspection....

Busted A/C line. Going to try to get it fixed today along with everything else. James, Kevin said yours is up next after he finishes with a G37.

Goodmorning everyone :tiphat:

Did the Stillen G3 rub through the A/C line?

It sure did. The G3 is a hand-me-down from my first Z. I didn't think to grab the little covers Stillen provides for the lines when I was pulling them out :icon14:. You live and you learn.

For all the folks that are thinking they can build a motor for 12k or less my advice would be not to. This 2nd redo is damn expensive. If you are looking to cut corners, don't do it. Keep your money in the bank. This is my last try, if I have an issue this time I am going back to stock. Hence the price for a ride just went up to 100 bucks for 5 min. Jesus H Mary Mother of God.

The MRI has been scheduled on my knee for tomorrow. They called me today. Dr. ask that they get me in quick thank goodness.

Tow truck day now. Starter on the Lexus shít the bed on my way home :shakes head:

Booo.....
