The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

I know nothing about zoning or buildings, but I was wondering if basements were required because of the seasonal tornado warnings, etc., in your part of the country? Is a basement considered a safety feature, for example?

Edit: Never mind. I just now read your reply to Cesar about basements. (There's no delete button in the Chit Chat threads, as I would have deleted my post after reading your reply to him.)

Down here, we do a lot of "safe" rooms in our designs. "Safe", in this case, meaning a retreat from a possible tornado, burglary, home invasion, etc. They are usually reinforced with CMUs (concrete masonry units - cinder blocks ) and concrete, or made of all reinforced concrete. They're not required by any codes, but people really want them.
We also do a lot of hidden safes for valuables, guns, etc..

Now I'm angry... how did you get those pictures of my summer, weekend get-a-way cottage? I'm thinking of selling it since it doesn't really have that "wow" factor that I was looking for.

DUDE!
All I did was post the pics. Nobody would have ever known...! But, now you've gone and COMPLTELY blown your cover!
Not my fault when everyone comes bangin' on your door lookin' for $$$.

BTW, ya' got a spare 50K, or so, layin' around...?!

Advice from a 95 year old man

The school nurse at my high school has a poster with all of these.

I'd like to change number 29 to cat.

Oh that is scary. Do you think back now and think it was haunted?

Here are a couple from Austin that look like they'd make great Haunted Mansions...

Sandra Bullock over Julie Roberts

Yep, Bullock over Roberts, by a looooong shot.

You should hit up Swift for a full time job as a house sitter.

And, for 18 million dollars, IMHO anyway, that thing is butt-ugly...

I think the water behind it had something to do with the price.

My laptop is shipping out of San Antonio, TX. It should be here no later than Thursday. I'm hoping it comes early. Hoping, but not betting on it.

Shipping from your hometown to a former place you lived (well, kind of, I don't live in the city).

I'm just glad that it's not shipping put of someplace obscure like California. That package took a week to get here. And the one out of Phoenix took two days from the day it shipped.
