45 is now 47.

Well crap! Watching the acceptance speech, it appears he is more of a blow hard than before. I had hoped he'd tone it down a bit. I especially found his first part to be distasteful, we all know what happened in previous administrations and there's no need to bring it up now.

Glad we did not go & canceled

Talking to a friend who is in the same hotel (military base) with retired federal government LEOSA credentials (he worked in DC) as well as being retired military 

Things are sporty, lots of canceled events, lots of SOTA tech and even with his credentials he can’t go anywhere armed with even a Swiss army pocket knife……

Asked another friend who’s son is a LEO in the area….he said “that’s why we went to Tampa for the week” 😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It ain’t the cold……..

Instead of showing a name with a line drawn thru it, can you just delete them completely

When I check out the site from my phone all I see is a long list of user names in blue with a line thru the name 

Thanks

I'll start off with this.. after the guys graciously put up my tower, I'd look like a shit heel if I moved so soon. On the other hand, I found a listing I could write a check for in a neighboring free (for now) state.
Its a non-permitted tiny home of 375 square feet with a useable loft and a 24x36 garage. That's perfect for me.  It has electric, natural gas, and a wood stove. I really like redundancy. I called the zoning dept and they are aware of the listing. At a minimum it would need to be on a proper foundation rather than the cinder blocks it's on. I have no clue what it would cost to do that. Writing a check for the asking price would come close to wiping out my savings as well as a few other expenses such as a snow plow to deal with the 67" average snowfall. I doubt I could get a mortgage since my only income is now social security.
Maybe I could negotiate the price down, but it's already far below comparable prices in the area. Does anyone have a clue what it would cost to lift this thing and put in a proper foundation or any other thoughts?
