    Frenchie is an idiot. Got a group based on skin color. If it was all white it would be total outrage. Cbs got their diversity though.

    The builder I used told me to walk through the house before the drywall was up and take pictures of every room so I'd know where everything was located. Take pictures of the electrical panel and plumbing manifold. I still refer to those pictures when doing a project in a room.

    I'm looking for a good long range wifi extender. Situation is my family has a couple of cottages, the neighbor is sharing his wifi and it reaches one cottage, would say they're about a 100 ft apart maybe a little more. The second cottage is probably about 400 ft from the first cottage and up a...

    I'm getting ready to install some upper cabinets in my laundry room and I was taking a look at the pre-drywall pictures I took of the room and saw I probably can't get both screws into a stud. How bad would it be to only have screw in a stud?

    Neighbors down the street are hosting an outdoor movie night and are playing this movie. Most of the kids around us are under 8. Seems like this movie is geared more towards older kids and adults

    We have two homes for sale in our neighborhood right now, out of around 400 total. One is for $550k, been on the market for 49 days, so really overpriced. The other one is coming soon, for $575k. Guess we'll see. Not sure we'd really want to move, basically paying 200k more for the same house. I...

    My wife and I built in 2013, paid $312k for a 3600 sqft house. Zillow says the house is worth $485k, I doubt we could get that much. Problem we're running into is houses that are half the sqft that we have are selling for what we bought our house for or close too it and building a comparable...

    I don't know the way the news story said it, it was waving the appraisal and inspection. Not a contingency but then it's journalist so who knows what they actually meant.

    The local news did a story on the real estate market here in st louis. Had a buyer on that said she lost on houses cause people were doing no inspection and no appraisal on houses. I'm not sure how someone could get a loan on a home with out an appraisal. I sure as shit wouldn't get a house...

    I'm curious how building prices would affect how much coverage you have on insurance in the event of a natural disaster. Could building prices outpace that replacement cost of a structure?

    Am I sure, no, its all coming from the county health dept website, so probably not the the paragon of truth. My wife and I talked about it, we're not going to stay locked down for an additional 14 days. I guess if we get caught I'll let you all know.

    Its based on a missouri law. Not sure how they will actually enforce it though. Local health dept has stopped contact tracing on its own

    Based on my son's symptoms, I wouldn't be surprised if it is running rampant in young kids, they just don't pass it to adults.

    I don't disagree that is bullshit. If my son hadn't been exposed we never would have test him. He's had normal colds that are worse than his covid. We're not going to follow it too closely.

    Its the county health dept rule. I doubt we'll follow it but that's the law we're living under. My son is locked down for 10 days and then the rest of the family is 14 days after his 10.

    I'm shocked that they don't let you pick options, I always thought that is how builders make their money but then I guess if the market is that hot, that there is bidding wars on new construction they're making money. All the options my wife and I did, added $70k to the base price of the our...

    What about like cabinets, flooring, light fixtures, things like that? We went room by room and added stuff, like the vent hood venting outside instead of back into the room, things like that.

    Congrats. The design part is the fun part, at least it was for me and my wife when we built. Shit adds up though, $500 here, $500 there.

    For tax purposes, selling is taxed as capital gains. How would it work if you mined it. Would you have to calculate each blocked reward at the price btc was when you mined it?
