and now for something completely different;

anyone have knowledge of methamphetamine contamination and remediation on residential property?
:popcorn:
Buddy of mine engaged in house flipping here in town for a number of years. He did ONE former meth home.

I know the market is still crazy, but I wouldn't touch a place that openly disclosed that with a 100 foot pole.

Maybe make an offer that is the value of the lot? Scrape and build a 4-plex!

In hell. Welcome!
In the final stretch with one interesting job opportunity, apparently me and some other superstar bloke. Now I need superstar friends on the phone to seal the deal for me. Meh.

where the trails are
is this something you own or are under contract?
no of course not. nice property is coming to market, I know it will need meth remediation, should list for about 50% value. If I could gut & rebuild 1,200 sq ft within my budget it's a no brainer. If it needs to be scrapped to the ground and rebuilt, it's not for me.

I don't think you need to tear it down past studs.
Would rip out HVAC ducting too.
Might find some bales of cash in the drywall, we've found all kinds of crazy shit stashed in walls.

I possibly do not recall correctly, but when my buddy flipped his meth home, CO law at the time required HVAC and Dry wall be removed. This particular residence had a basement and he had to grind off a specific amount of the concrete floor. 1/8" maybe?

storytime!
Mason jars of food (colonial Prepper?), love letters, a gun under floorboards, weed stash (pipe, lighter, ganj) inside a window casing, a stash of silver and gold coins behind some baseboard, a fuckload of candy wrappers some 'betus candidate was hiding from somebody etc. People are weird.

An old victorian we owned has seaweed for all insulation and civil war newspapers as insulation between layers of wood flooring.

Man, there's a local foreclosure I'd love to get my hands on. Probably some water damage and plenty of defferred maintenance, but it's huge and in a decent location. Shame taxes are what they are: $23,900.

Until you own one lol.
Fixing them is sending my kids to college however, so I'm glad they exist.
it's going to be interesting going through one of my maine family members houses posthumously. still lives in the farmhouse he grew up in.... and is a bit of a hoarder. tuned piano's for a living. i don't think he ever had less than 5 or 6 at a time. his player piano was always cool though...

'Morning! I took the day off from work, which resulted in 11 hours of coma slumber last night. It was glorious. When I finally rolled my fat blob of mass out of bed, I ran 19 miles. Wife and I are headed up to Mount Snow for some weekend skiing, and of course rain is in the forecast.

The old world
in the old neighborhood we used to call every restaurant that suspiciously burned overnight "Greek Lightning".
And then finally, when there's nothing left, when you can't borrow another buck from the bank or buy another case of booze, you bust the joint out. You light a match.

unless you're flipping houses for a living, going to fix it up to rent, or are a super cheapskate with too much time on your hands (and have precisely zero children), avoid foreclosures.

Birds look like they are having fun when they fly, don't they? "Crawl around on the ground, you fucking worm! I shit upon your conveyance!" Well, that's what I would be thinking. I'm not even high right now.
