^Ha!!!!

One thing i've learned... I will NEVER buy a house for what i 'see in it'... I will buy it for what it IS.

I bought the house i'm in now, all 1400sqft of it, when i was single and had a dog.. it was perfect for me and the dog.. it is far from perfect for me, three dogs, the wife and two girls one 18 the other 5... it's now around 2ksqft and since we are outside types, the bar/smoke pit and pool area's come into as much play as any interior room does- but still... I bought the place when single and based on "what i saw in it" aka "projects" as opposed to what it actually was.....

The wife watches the TV shows about folks buying houses. I KNOW these are scripted and staged of course, but the comments still can be "interesting" in terms of why they chose A over B and C. Our realtors in ATL and Cincy basically confimred these impressions. The guy in Cincy was almost certain we had sold our house on Day One before the truck wouldn't fit.

He thought we'd have three offers in fact, but the other couples drifted off for vaguer reasons.

We finally sold it to a single guy about 35 or so, all 3500 sq ft of it. He had insisted his Dad be able to inspect the house before he signed, which was rather odd because there was an inspection clause in the contract and he could have anyone inspect in that time period.

Seemed like a nice enough fellow at closing.

Yeah, that's why we bought our current house pretty much turnkey. The starter home was my project house and I built a lot of stuff for it. For this one (other than the built-ins I mentioned earlier) pretty much all changes have been simple and cosmetic.

The next one will be custom-designed and custom-built, and most likely won't involve a single project for me at all.

Anyway, I see this relatively new trend of "black stainless" appliances and I just shake my head. That look is already dated IMO and I've only seen it on showroom floors for the past 2 years or so. No thanks.

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlantans awoke to relatively mild weather Tuesday, but forecasters warned that streets could still become icy as fans arrive for the Super Bowl, with temperatures expected to drop more than 20 degrees during the day.

More than 100 of Tuesday’s flights were canceled at Atlanta’s airport and schools were closed across the city “in an abundance of caution” ahead of the storm front, which was churning toward Georgia Tuesday just as thousands of fans begin pouring into town for Super Bowl 53.

Cincy,

Are you ready for the storm? How far are you from the Super Bowl venue and will it cause issues for you?

The weather report here last night was breathless. They had some reporter out on the highways showing us brine trucks and driving up I-75 where it was .... raining. We were in the "TRACE" snowfall area but one would have thought this was the Snowmageddon of the Century. It's drizzling right now and about 40°F.

One reporter hoped the weather would not stop the Super Bowl (which of course is in a dome).

The governor closed state offices ahead of time.

Now, an ice storm can mess this place up bad, but a bit of snow? Eh, and we seem to have missed even that.

We live maybe 4 miles from the MB Dome. So far this has been a complete nothing.

I could walk to the Dome obviously, but when I went I took MARTA (which was jam packed).

We look out on Piedmont Park which is nice as we see trees on both sides of us. A block up the hill is major high rise buildings (not downtown).

if it's going to be anything at all, it should start soon

Cincydawg · « **Reply #147 on:** January 29, 2019, 11:24:31 AM »

40°F here, clearing this afternoon and turning bitterly cold, all the way down to -6°.

OK. I've gone metric there.

FearlessF · « **Reply #148 on:** January 29, 2019, 11:29:39 AM »

I feel lucky

sitting at zero here

everything north of here is negative

north winds at 25-30 make it seem like -20

I'll stay in my office this afternoon, bee line to my living room after work and hunker down to watch Husker hoops

a hot toddy or two may be the game time drink

44 and sunny here, should hit a high of 52 today. To me, that's fairly cold. Fearless probably views it as fine golfing weather.

FearlessF · « **Reply #150 on:** January 29, 2019, 12:40:11 PM »

it's fine for long britches and a light jacket

when I was there a few weeks back it was finer

high 60's and low 70's

shorts and shirt sleeves, no jacket required

it was DERNED fine golfing weather

I highly recommend the fully-open Blanco sink too. Easy to clean and maintain. No staining at all.

I hate divided sinks. Maybe that was a thing before dishwashers, when people had to have one "wash" sink and one "rinse" sink, or something like that. But they need to go away.

Well, even the threat of ice or snow pretty much brings Atlanta to a standstill...
But yeah, back when I was moving there in 2005, there was a bad ice storm the night before I was supposed to fly in and go to the local office for a few days. It was brutal. I was supposed to arrive mid-afternoon, and through all SORTS of wrangling with flights, eventually landed about 1 AM.
That said, it's Tuesday. Even a bad ice storm would be cleared well before the Super Bowl.

It's clearing up now a bit, and getting cooler, no snowpocalypse.

I've been in ice storms where I couldn't walk without holding onto something. Driving is impossible.
