I'm just picturing the snow blowing in on that furnished porch. Hey rideit, you guys get much wind in that valley?
More real estate doom and gloom

Just the billionaire blowhards like Foster Friess.
(actually, he is a really nice guy and HUGE tipper, regardless of his Gawd-bothering).
Not too much wind in town, really.

Genuinely curious why you feel that way. Certainly get that it's an overpriced, ostentatious pile of garbage but it looks waaaay nicer than the kind of bullshit in that price range in my area:What a fucking abomination.

It seems we agree...
I bet you've not seen the place being built on US-40, opposite Genesee? I think it's got 4 round turrets on it last time we cycled past.

I'd love a house with turrets. Not architecturally speaking, but I need a place for my anti aircraft cannons.
I did see that monstrosity on the way to... A-Basin(?) a few weeks back. All I can say is, "Well done, rich dumbfucks. Well done, indeed."
You guys are stuck in the past.
I see turrets, they damn well better have defensive emplacements.
I want offensive turrets.
"silos" I think we call them
Strategically speaking a fixed placement is always defensive. What you need is a mortar mounted on the back of your flatbed.
Damnit you two, we've discussed this.
There's no free energy bro
Gotta tote that ballast around and get it cocked.

Yes. We have been over this, pneumatics my friend. One I made at half the size clocked a golf ball at 1000 fps. This one has been knocked around enough that I only felt comfortable pumping it up to 20psi. High pressures not only add power but increases efficiency.

If you get bored one day look at the distance across interstate 75 between ga tech and the old biltmore hotel on google earth. And remember that one side of that road houses a bunch of sexually frustrated engineers types.
And think about the number of windows in that biltmore facade.
Nice area. Fairly rural. The Nashua River Rail Trail is really nice. Take the kids on it every now and then. Hope you guys find something suitable out there.
Half serious here, but if you're willing to consider a major fixer upper in Stow MA, our neighbors house has been in preforeclosure for god knows how long, and she pretty much has mad cow (Creutzfeldt-Jakob) disease. Really really sad situation. I think she's with a daughter in TX now as she declined super fast. One day we ran across the street to help her since she fell on her steps after a week of testing at MGH and a week later she was out at the Mayo clinic for experimental treatments. Haven't seen her since. The house will hit the market at some point.
This style valve makes it an order of magnitude more powerful than a standard potato/solenoid setup

You edited your post. that looks way more straightforward than what you originally posted.

Yeah, found something closer to what I came up with which is even simpler. Pretty much just a 4" sink plunger and a ball valve. Cheap and easily acquired parts but takes some fiddling to make reliable. Should be taken as seriously as a firearm above 40 psi and is pretty much artillery at 100. Does require a machined insert to be able to used with a specific projectile, Always wanted to try an ice slug for the PVC barrel but don't have a good testing range. But anything you can stuff into a wet rag will work.
All of this of course is for educational purposes, thermodynamics and shit.

Just call it a bladder booster.

In my early teens, it was a Tulare County Deputy Sheriff who introduced me into the world of potato and schedule 40 pvc based artillery. Many versions and sizes would later follow, though for pure shits and giggles, the best one was the kumquat gun my brother built.

At this point, we'd be willing to consider Stow, I just haven't seen anything pop on the market in our price range ( < $450K). Well, except for an old church that was for sale, but that place probably has demons I don't wanna mess with.
Of course even the fixer upper seem to be going for crazy money. We saw a place that hadn't been updated since the 50s, had water damage and mold, had a collapsing foundation in the garage, a 30' tall metal satellite dish in the back yard and had a derelict in-ground swimming pool, and it still went for $25K over asking. It's nuts.
You got some fucked up priorities.
that's one of the few things in real estate I'd pay extra for
The real threat of a church property in my mind would be finding the buried children or black people buried in the back when I went to start stacking dirt jumps. Still not necessarily a deal breaker but still.....
Unless that's what you actually meant.....
I came for the witty banter. I stay for the sustainable solutions.
welcome aboard sailor!

This North Portland House Is the Clearest Sign Yet That Local Real Estate Has Gone Off the Rails
Dadaism, meet your COVID counterpoint.
I see their point, but what is actually inside a property these days is basically irrelevant to the price.
maybe where you are.
a home in my neighborhood (which was built in the 60's) just sold to a retired couple. $40k over the asking price of $450k. first day on the market, and there were 7 bids. the house was comparable in size and condition to mine, and we paid $350k 8 years ago.
Okay that's one.
More residents moved up here last year than I've ever seen before during the pandemic and it's such a douchey market all the real estate groups publish their sales data. It was rich fucks retreating. Based on my unscientific observations of stinkeye above a patagonia logo on the trails, they're here for good. I'm more talking about what's going on now during this rebound/backlash whatever you want to call it. This isn't just people moving to a new residence, not at all.
Plenty of links posted in this thread already. I'm getting a very 2007-2008 vibe.
