And here is house in comparison to where the snowmobile trail is. That’s important!
I talked to realtor and was planning on going up Friday but now I have to work so I’ll go next weekend. Being a cash buyer she said they would most likely accept an offer of $52k. Taxes are $800/year and preliminary insurance quote came out to $241/year. As long as this house has good bones, there’s no foundation issues, mold or termites I am most likely buying it. Wife is on board too so that helps that I won’t have to sleep on couch for making the purchase. Lol.
Roof is getting put on Wisconsin house now. They started on it yesterday I guess. I called the guy because I haven’t heard anything and he tells me he started on it. I told him he was suppose to call me because I wanted to be there and he gave me some story about his truck and he wasn’t sure blah blah blah. So I called my brother and he couldn’t go up yesterday so I asked my dad. I hate having him take the drive up there by himself but he did. Left yesterday at 5pm and he called me at 11:30 and said he made it and they indeed did start on it. Also said heat was down to 41° and I told him I thought I set it for 46°. Turns out the thermostat battery was low and then furnace kicked on. I just wanna make sure they do the ice and water how I want and they seal up the new skylights when they install them. I feel better that he’s there but I hate that he’s alone. My brother said he’s gonna shoot up Friday after work with his son to dig trench and put in the electric for garage so I feel better about that. But I know my dad, he won’t leave until Monday or Tuesday instead of following Randy back home. I’m glad the garage is moved and roof is getting done finally.
Side note: supervisor at work texted me today.
Can you tell they made me mad? I was planning on going north this weekend but they told me I had to work to get this million gallon shore tank back in service. They brought in this Christine safety **** corporate suck up that criticizes everything we do and makes sure everything is done “safely” but then they’ll ask me to do stuff on nights that they couldn’t do during the day because it’s not safe. It’s mainly my fault because I normally do it but I was mad about having to work. I originally told them this isn’t Russia and I’m going north but they dangled the carrot and gave me an $1800 bonus so I took it. But I can still be mad about it and give them shit.

Nice house. Is that cedar flooring? I've never seen cedar used as a floor before.

I be itch and moan but then I go and do it anyway. I’m my own worst enemy and this is why they ask me to do this stuff. Maybe I’ll learn when I get seriously hurt and out of work.

It almost looks like it. I won’t know until I can see it in person. It’s an old home, built in 1913 but for how often I’ll be there and what I need it for, it’ll work and the price is right.

Def a great price--compared to NJ home prices.

I don’t know why I always take things to the extreme. I don’t have it in me to leave well enough alone.
I waited around Friday morning for the guy to give me an address and a time to come get that plow on Friday. I mentioned in previous post that I knew the pivot bar on the back of the plow needed to be changed but I wanted that plow because it has the headlights I wanted. The guy was asking $1950 for it but when I said something about the pivot bar he agreed that it was bad and we agreed on $1400. It was between that plow and another poly but the guy was asking $2400 and when I messaged him asking if he would come down he said he’s gonna hold firm at $2400. That one didn’t have the lights that I wanted but the pivot bar was in good shape and didn’t need to be replaced. The plow has to be taken apart to get that bar off so I threw it out there that I would give him $2000 for it and would come anytime to get it but he said no.
Here’s the $1400 one with the rusted out pivot bar.
Here’s the $2400 one but notice it has the lights I don’t want and still needs a cutting edge but it’s in good shape and pivot bar is solid.
Thursday night I get a message and he tells me he will take the $2000 because he needs to get it out of there so he can get his other plows ready for season and not have to keep moving this one around. I said I was going in the morning to buy one already but if it was rough and I passed on it I would let him know right away and we can figure out a time to meet.
Well, I waited until 11:30am and never got a reply from the first moron so I messaged the second guy and went and grabbed it.
