OT - $6500 homebuyer credit for previous homeowner
Comments (7)Archson - good idea re converting Builder's Risk to HomeOwners policy. Will add that to the list. I checked with the county officials and, no, they don't issue COs. We're having a third party inspector inspect everything and advise us whenever something doesn't meet codes for the nearest large city (Austin) but deciding whether to revise whatever it is to meet code is totally up to us. No inspections except sewage. A year ago when I took over the build, I thought not having to get a CO meant it was one less thing I would have to hassle with. Shoulda known even THAT would turn out to be a hassle. LOL! But, I've been thru so much and am so happy to be nearing COMPLETION that nothing really throws me for a loop anymore. Every issue has just become a question of "how do I solve this and how much money is it going to cost me THIS time?"...See MoreAbout my previous post...... NO THREATS or attacks
Comments (21)Sometimes I'll forget and enter a thread via the notifications list, where someone has added a comment to a thread I'm following. That always put me in the wonky mode of the newest first, best answer format. Ugh. But if I go to my GW bookmarks, I don't get those formats....See MoreFNM (Friday night music) Continued - Plant Kingdom - Part 2
Comments (38)Here's a link to the clothes FNM thread. An easy way to find previous recent FNM threads is to check The Garden Party. We've been cross posting on TGP for this reason, as there is little other activity there, and so one can just go to that forum and see a list of FNM. If you do post a new FNM thread, be sure to cross post on The Garden Party so that this will continue. This started when HT was discontinued. Of course the ones that were on HT cannot be found, and so I think I would be fine to start threads with topics that had previously been posted there, since they are gone now....See MoreWeekend Music (FNM): Dark, Darkness, Shadows, Fade, Nighttime. Part II
Comments (37)I was sending emails to one of the originators of the music threads here to give her suggestions for new topics, and she told me to just post the topics myself. For a while, we alternated starting these threads, and then she decided not to post here anymore, which left me as pretty much the main person initiating the threads. She had kept a list or topics, including proposed ones, and emailed that to me when she decided to stop participating. EltonJohnDenver also started quite a few, and then she seemed to stop posting here as well, although I have no idea why. As I said earlier, this all started on Hot Topics, and the threads were always started early Friday evening by whoever happened to have an idea for a new theme. There were a lot of disparate people posting on that forum before it got banned (for contentiousness), and a larger percentage of them were men, compared to KT. I started posting FNM earlier in the day so that people would have more time to post videos while it was still Friday, but since the threads usually lasted through Saturday and Sunday, I started calling it Weekend Music instead but kept the acronym for archival purposes. A couple of times I did not post anything on Friday, and some people seemed disappointed, and so I decided to keep it up. I don't in any way own this topic, and so anyone is free to take it over. Carol, no one has posted those songs before, although I had thought that someone had posted the Kinks song, as it was one that I had also thought up - but neglected to post. I guess I will start Part III now - I did not expect this to get this far....See MoreLars
