Check out that weird Canadian concrete truck...threw me off at first.
home appraisal came back at 30% higher than the appraisal when we bought the place 3 years ago
based on what i saw of the process it looks very made up. throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall assessment. not that i'm complaining. it net us an amazing refi rate so that's good, but the whole deal seems..... shammy?
Always freaked me out seeing concrete trucks driving down the road "backwards" in the US.Check out that weird Canadian concrete truck...threw me off at first.
It's just a rubber stamp for the lender.
If you wanted a real appraisal, you'd hire your own appraiser.
Am I missing something? Looks like a concrete truck to me. But yellow.Check out that weird Canadian concrete truck...threw me off at first.
Ooh a Pendleton branded Stanley. I love my Stanley. Even when other people have moved on to more modern coffee urns with more comvenient closures, I fucking swear by my Stanley. Fear puts coldbrew into it every day. I don’t technically need for it to be in there (it will be long gone before it warms up) but I just fucking love the utilitarian nature of the old air insulated travel mugs.
For outdoor speakers I wanted a solution before Sonos had one, so I bought some outdoor speakers on amazon, got the Sonos Bridge (which is designed to connect to a receiver) and set up my receiver's second zone to output to the outdoor speakers. I think I'd still go with that solution now vs having to think about charging the outdoor one.

This both soothes me and gives me an anuerysm because I’d that troweling on that corner. I sure hope they smoothed that.
The Redfin home value algorithm is super fucky. According to Redfin, on closing date I overpaid by a decent amount, and now it's telling me I have more in equity than I overpaid by. So an over 6-digit swing in the course of 2 weeks. Stupid. Zillow is probably more reliable.
At one point they had my place valued at $1.2M. Gave us a good laugh at least.I don’t think any of those two sites are worth a damn for an actual value. They imo are artificially high in many cases. For instance, Zillow is showing I have nearly 155k in equity, if they keep going I’ll get close to doubling my money that I paid for this shitbox.
You just love doing concrete work during heat waves don’t you?
All but 4 bags gone from that pallet. 1200 lbs of concrete mixed and poured. I am so fucking tired.
I was really tired of having that pallet in my driveway.You just love doing concrete work during heat waves don’t you?

Not even close! This was like $100 cheaper.Bet it would have been more cost effective for a truck to show up.
but....
I agree with doing it and gaining experience. It’s about the journey sometimes, as much as we can bitch, it’s a lesson and comes cheaper.
