Are you vaccinated? BTW you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

 

Yes, I have been fully vaccinated since April 1. Really.. no joke. I am serious! But yes, both mama and I are vaxxed.

I am sorry about your dad.

I hate you for even bringing those up...

While you know I don't live in fear of the Chinese Bat Fever, and I agree there was a lot of fear-mongering, the two definitely aren't equal.  Even if the global numbers were exaggerated 10-fold, CBF has still killed more than the Chinese Pig Fever did.  The Democrats latched on to a crisis to serve there purpose, fo' sho, but it's still a much larger crisis than CPF

I'm perfectly fine with a business making their own personal decision on their safety, whether founded or not.  Just so long as the business owner understand that if there were 2 competing businesses and one made me scan my forenoggin, wear a mask, and subject me to hand sanitizer (which I absolutely can't stand) and one didn't, I'd take my business elsewhere if all else is equal.  

You must have missed the part where everyone who dies WITH the rona automatically died OF the rona. 

1963 Chevy extended panel truck, rare extended version. All original. 265, single barrel, 4-Speed. Runs and drives but needs a fuel tank and brake work.

$3,500 OBO

This truck is a buddy's. He just bought more projects than he has time for. It has surprisingly little rust for it's age, Seems pretty complete. Fix it up like new, or throw a 20' paint job on it and double your money!

I think it is a 1-ton, those are the only 8-lug looong versions of these I have ever seen. It is located in Fontana

Edit to add, yes, it fires right up, runs good, clutch works, brakes work, at least for moving around parking lot. 

Trying to finish up the body work on the Galaxie. If anyone that actually knows what they are doing(as in, unlike me!) wants to come help, I will gladly throw meat on the barbi and supply refreshments!

Children! Play nice!!!

I'm doing my whole house myself and while the stuff that's  done is done to my OCD standards, I'm out of motivation and running short one funds now lol(we bough 2510 sqft of 1973 and it's killing me!

I have been (stealthily) watching your project. You have been doing a great job. 10 years ago, I would have done mine myself, now, eff that!

I can give you the name of our contractor, he can be endlessly frustrating, but it all comes together in the end!

Was the wall you removed load bearing? If so, what did you replace it with?

Looks great

Actually, all the homes in our subdivision were designed to be semi-custom, the rafters do all the load bearing(no load bearing interior walls), and the walls could be anywhere the original purchaser wanted them. That is why we have a slopey kitchen, the wall with the cooktop is almost 45° angle with the rest of the house. There is only a few exterior house plans, but the insides can be anywhere from a little to a lot different than other homes with the same outside. There were a lot of options for outside trim as well, so even tho you can see the familial resemblence in all the homes, each one is personalized for what was cool in 2002-04

Unfortunately, we could not have that moved because they installed the HVAC in the way of straightening it out. That would have given us more room all the way around, but nooooo.... someone had to be artsy fartsy when they laid out their plan. Always trying to be different...

Nicely done! We sold and bought this year and are in the middle of remodeling some of the house and pool. Also adding a bunch of natural stone to the exterior of the house and carrying that stone to our dual sided fireplace that splits our family/living room. Also installing new wood floors throughout. 

Adding a 135% solar system with a backup generator as well. Hopefully within the next year build a 3200 SQFT shop. 

Congrats! We did the wood floors throughout, paint and had the cabinets stained before move-in, but I only got a 400 sq/ft budget shop.  Our level pay light bill is $108 for 2200 sq/ft, so solar isn't an option for us.

Two Kitchens? is one a MIL suite type deal?

We actually did the MIL deal last year, where we took the two guest rooms, cut a 4' opening between, made one a bedroom and one a retreat, with the TV and all in there. It was next to the bathroom, but did not directly connect. 

Unfortunately, she only got to spend three days in her new digs last June before she went to a better place, as they say. We still miss her greatly.

no two kitchens, same kitchen. Where you see 2nd kitchen? Is you high? No, we knocked out a wall and redid the one kitchen. 

We decided to remodel again, but this one was fairly major. In the kitchen, we took out the wall between the dining room and kitchen, added an island and updated with all new cabinets and 2 large banks of storage/pantry area. I have stitched together some photos showing what the house was when we bought it 4 years ago, then a bit after we moved in, and now. We also redid the guest rooms and guest bath, and added a closet to the master BR, but those pics will come later. 

What do I do for my accountant? I do this... 

I have really cut back.
