This is the main artery through the area I live in, the houses were built before services were. When they went to put sewers in they had to stick houses on rollers to move them out of the way, build the sewer, and roll the houses back. Can't find any roller pictures though sadly.

I think it is still to this day basically just a single story house that is sunk all to just like a foot above ground with a flat roof.

The first time I was house shopping, in 2017, there was a house on a half acre somewhere in east Denver that was just a basement with a roof and a couple of detached sheds. I think it was listed as built in like 1920

I remember it being close to some big power transmission lines, so I wonder if there's a restriction on building size.

Sometimes houses burn down, and sometimes people put roofs over the basements that remain. It's not the worst idea.

A place I rented a while back was wired in the weirdest way where each exterior wall was a different circuit rather than the living room/kitchen/bedrooms/bathrooms being their own. So in the summer running the dishwasher would trip the circuit because it was drawing from the same wall that had both bedrooms main outlets and the living room main outlet. Ended up running an extension cord from the bathroom into the bedroom to try to balance it

We Left the City For a 900-Square-Foot Cabin In a Ski Town. It Was Worth It. When a tiny cabin built in the 1900s became available for rent in Steamboat, we took it—no questions asked. https://www.skimag.com/culture/moving-to-ski-town-steamboat-colorado/ That's the size of my house lol

That's bigger than my apartment and most of the article is complaining about poo poo she owns. I can fit everything I own in 4 loads of my Outback. Owns. "I moved to an expensive ski town and miss my possessions" isn't really a good topic.

I recently waited 8 days for an amazon package so I feel Montana's pain. It was a joint roller I can't find locally, but I had a lovely one to get me by, so it wasn't a big deal.

My hands shake too much to hold the paper steady without spilling weed everywhere. Love that your generation sent mine to Iraq, where I developed the nerve damage that makes it impossible to roll free hand. E: on the plus side, sweet sweet VA loan eligibility.

sorry about your shake; I know what that's like from drinking coffee + getting old. p.s.: "my generation" didn't have a choice in fighting wars, other than to be born into a politically connected or very wealthy family, have a vagina, or live as a fugitive. (of all the boomer dunks, "your generation made me volunteer to fight a stupid war" has got to be the most pathetic as well as pretty ahistorical)

There was a "jail or army" style thing going on back then in a few places if you found yourself in front of a judge, but that was more for the surge, so probably '05/06. I enlisted post-9/11 but pre-Iraq. I expected to go to one place but wound up in another. That's the army for you.Willa Rogers posted:sorry about your shake; I know what that's like from drinking coffee + getting old.

When our house burned down, our insurance adjuster spent almost two weeks profusely apologizing that the (really nice) 1300 sq. ft. apartment they were putting us in temporarily was the "largest they could find on short notice." Absurd. She seemed legitimately shocked that we were insisting that no, actually, that was plenty big for two of us no matter how long construction might take.

when your house burns down and insurance builds you a replacement do they, like, build a 1:1 copy of the house following the style of the neighborhood or do they throw up whatever vinyl siding and fake composite flooring the contractors are puking out these days, and do they build a new house with the same square footage, or as big (or small) of a house as they can build for the dollar value of the policy? Would suck to live in one of those gorgeous craftsmen style homes with hand carved adornments and stained glass accents in the windows, have it burn down, and get some disgusting mcmansion "garage in front with house attached behind" replacement

I don’t know that houses usually burn all the way down. The house fires alive seen around where I live usually get gutted and renovated but they don’t touch foundation/frame. For stuff like siding I’d imagine if they’re just replacing a portion of the facade or the majority of it, because at some point just patching a portion is gonna be more cost effective than redoing the whole thing in shittier cheaper materials

i have to imagine the previous framing was also like approved and zoned correctly so it would be hard to do much beyond not rebuilding unimportant walls

Our house was more or less a total loss down to the foundation. We still rebuilt it as a split level ranch because some of the structure above the foundation for the family room was intact, but otherwise it didn't matter. Insurance basically cut some checks made out to us and our lender and the mortgage company checked in to make sure we were rebuilding the house and not running away with the money. Other than that, we did whatever we wanted. We ended up with a substantial contents payout thanks to insurance company fuckery and put some of that money towards making pretty substantial modifications. What I'm saying is that the insurance company doesn't build you a replacement, they just give you money. Paradoxish has issued a correction as of 21:34 on Feb 20, 2023 |
