Now that we are done with our pavers patio, yes DYI cost was 6500 for approx 550 sq ft. That includes pavers $3 sq ft, sand, grovel, polymeric sand, misc materials needed to get electrical conduit 35 ft for lights, excludes cost of the gazebo, 60 ft retaining wall 4 ft tall on both sides.. Very hard work, not impossible, but very hard. So Cal guys you so lucky! I will gladly pay these prices that do not exist here... And please don’t say it is diy if you did not lift a finger, lucky you:) carry materials for 1300-1500 sq ft patio and than you claim DIY:). End caps and ret blocks are 68-72 lbs ea.

I know what you're up against because I have a unique property too. Mine is actually a little horse farm. I would say don't worry about buyers expecting you to go lower on that $499,900 price. When I was shopping, I found a place for $209,900. I found out it had been lowered from $229,900. It needs a lot of work, the owner needs to sell, nothing is selling in the area. So I expected I could get a better deal. I offered $180,000. They wouldn't even respond. I offered $190,000. They still wouldn't respond. I offered $200,000. Finally they answered and they said okay but they made some demands. The point is, I was SURE I was going to get it for a lot lower than it was listed for but I found out you can't assume that every seller is going to drop even if there are reasons to. I loved the house and made the deal anyway. In fact, I would have taken it at her full asking price. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Smith Mountain Lake Horse Property

A long time ago, I did a Mint Mate install(actual install, not live) onto a 16GB Gigaware USB flash drive. It booted slow as molasses and the first time running apps was just as slow. It ran fine afterward though. I considered getting a faster flash drive such as a SanDisk Extreme, but it wasn't it my budget at that time. I seem to remember playing around with bcd.exe but my memory is short. Some day I'll have to give EasyBCD a try. In the meantime, GRUB works for me. An extraordinarily boring (and embarrassing, mostly because I flubbed customizing GRUB2 because I'm too lazy to learn to use it properly right now) video of my installing Mint Mate alongside Windows 10 in a virtual machine... I suppose the point is that they can, at least sometimes, live happily beside one another. I was really expecting Mint Mate to offer to "install alongside windows" and auto-partition but it did not. Don't some other Ubuntu based distros do that? Or is it just full blown Ubuntu? Anyway, after all my stumbling, doing it incorrectly, redoing etc., Grub now reads exactly the way I want, remembers the previous boot choices etc. ... That's just a virtual machine though. I wouldn't suggest others try it on their real machines. I suppose if one were to practice setting up a dual boot system, a virtual environment would be the safe place to learn, right? BTW, I used Oracle's VirtualBox in the above videos. Free and open source. Oops, I just read the warning on the VirtualBox download page: "Please be aware that Windows 10 is not yet officially supported!" Oh well, seems to run fine for me.
