Yeah, that’s fishy. If you’re lucky, they had some fuckup where they wound up with a huge excess and hit up everyone in the area with a worn roof to see if they could score a quick profit. I’d keep an eye on the police blotter to see if any nearby job sites were lightened. Did he watch any part of the job to see if they at least performed vaguely competent work?

Another neighbor watched and says they seemed to do good work. They did reinstall the gutter helmet not very even.

A crew asked my mom if she wanted the driveway asphalted for a couple hundred bucks because they had leftover. It has survived over thirty Western Pennsylvania winters, never seal coated.

Since the yard looks like the sod wasn't finished, I'm going with parts of the house never were. I don't think any pro athletes live out in Stone Mountain; I could be wrong but they usually prefer richer burbs further in.

I had a sunroof on a car I bought brand new fail after 6 years and start leaking. It was definitely not worth the aggravation. Never again.

Hey, do you guys want to see a house specifically designed to hate and loathe disabled people and people who use walkers / wheelchairs? That's marketed to lengthen your lifespan? Oh boy! It's call the Bioscleave house, and some of you probably have heard of it already. Have some pictures. https://bhshamptons.com/east-hampton-ny-4-bedroom-home-for-sale-106534-10411122/ quote:Arakawa and Gins both passed away in recent years. In a 2008 New York Times interview, Gins said, “They ought to build hospitals like this.” This has the floor plan in it: https://architizer.com/projects/bioscleave-house-lifespan-extending-villa/ This is the kitchen btw:  You have to walk over bumpy concrete(?) to get to it.

If McMansions stress exist happens when you leave architects out of the design process entirely, this must be what happens when you let them control the process entirely.

Having to scramble over uneven surfaces to get from room to room probably is good for the body in the same way as using a balance ball instead of a computer chair. Keep your muscles and sense of balance tuned up. It still looks really uncomfortable though. Not sure about the kitchen pit though. If the bathroom floods the shitwater is going to flow down right into the kitchen pit.

Javid posted:It sounds like it does leak, just not into the cabin. Took it through a drive through carwash today, and checked, just for the hell of it. Dry as a bone. There was ONE time, and I'm pretty sure its what caused the frame around the glass to start rusting. Years ago, I took it through a wash that seemed to have retardedly powerful jets and it leaked a bit.

The Dave posted:Cars can break you guys really shouldn't buy them. This isn't the argument and you should know better. Don't add unnecessary features to things (especially life-important things like your car) unless you really like the benefits they offer. I don't care about sunroofs overmuch. It's just like the fancy rear end cars that can be bricked by a bad software update now and even trap you inside!

My partner and I bought a house a few months ago and there have been some very terrible things discovered along the way- so many half assed fixes, or trying to cover up broken poo poo rather than actually fixing it. So many loving holes in the wall. This weekend's project is tearing out the hosed up drywall in the garage, installing new outlets in the wall, and then adding insulation before we put new drywall in and fix other holes. The garage is wired but only has one outlet in a pretty inconvenient place. A little bit ago, I hear my name being called and wander out to the garage, where he's proudly standing next to this. "I finally got into the previous owner's head! This is why he knocked a hole in the wall!"   (Please excuse the dirt and janky mudroom, it's next on the list to get fixed)

The Pulaski house of horrors I posted a couple years ago is still for sale. They cut the price in half to $25k. The Death Stairs are still as deathy as ever.

I feel kind of like Queen Combat did for the lost Scientology compound. For $25,000 I'd do it. Gut the whole thing, or just level the house completely and start over. Pulaski must be fairly remote for that not to be on the table for a lot buyers.

Yeah for $25k you could spend another $25k on doing the interior in a super basic-rear end style, and have something that (checking Zillow for the area prices per square foot) around $100k. Or just remove the stairs of death and live in it for the next 10 years while spending the money you'd otherwise spend on a mortgage investing in literally any market. Then sell it to the next sucker (with basic drywall and other livability fixes inside) for $40k and move one.quote:Zillow estimated mortgage: $105/month  poo poo, or just spend $25k on a nice small cottage-style house and do the same thing. gently caress, Pulaski must suck for these house prices.

What's stopping the trees chewing up the house from underneath? I've seen a handful of little cabins that have been abandoned in the woods after root growth caused them to go out of level, and I'm wondering if construction has found a good answer for that problem?

Pulaski is just a blighted old coal town in southwest VA, pretty scenery but there's no industry or anything there now. See also Wytheville, Tazewell, Galax, and Bluefield.

Most of these 'treehouse homes' sit on concrete pilings, so root growth won't be an immediate threat. You could easily inspect every 2 or 3 years and manage it with some root and overhang trimming.

Pilings and packed soil. Also none of those trees are actually all that close to the house when you look at it. It's probably got at least 15-foot buffer of patios and decks which puts the foundation out of reach of the tree's roots. Some sprawling 100 year-old oak might be a concern, but nothing there looks older than the house.
