Re: Homeownership Thread
Wife and I installed in-wall speakers in the TV room, and in-ceiling speakers in the living room and kitchen. They are a fantastic upgrade.
Pretty sure my next home upgrade will be basement insulation. Just have to find a shitload of it on sale and I'll jump on it.

Re: Homeownership Thread
I got an option 3 (may not be exact same model - a Weber thingamajig for like $900). Really happy with it as we had a $300 broil king the previous 10 years.

Yes. About a 3 minute drive (10-15 minute walk) from the venue we go for our romantic escapades.

Maybe once you get better, you can begin to charge.

You can have a normal, healthy relationship with water when renting. Why are you giving that up??!

Re: Homeownership Thread
Apparently there's a drain at the lowest point. And it connects to city drain. So there's a water evacuation strategy. But with the ice and snow, I couldn't see it. But then with this much ice and snow, is the drain effective enough to evacuate almost 3 yards worth of water during spring rains? Or will water accumulate at certain spots on the sides of the foundation and damage?
Stay tuned.

Stay tuned.

Like a city storm sewer intake? If so you should be OK. I'd look at shoveling the thing out, or knowing where it is so you can clear it if necessary.
