Rhode Island Houses

My girlfriend and I were blindsided while mid plan of getting our own home. We were paying cheap rent in a 3 family with a plan as things lined up to purchase our own house and build equity. In this thread you'll hear how we doubled our money with $6,500 down. Thread 1/17

@MikeGiardi Colts did that to Andrew Luck. We know how that went.

Joe Burrow has been sacked 6x today. He was sacked 70 times last year. Doesn't seem sustainable, does it? #Bengals

@JtxRei Nice!!! Good luck with the tile job.

Yes!! Finally a good reason to buy an angle grinder 😅😅

@RealFrugalMogul I haven’t taken any anti-fever or cold/cough medicine in probably 20+ years. I still believe that’s why I don’t get sick at all. Like not even a stuffy nose for as long as I can remember.

Serious question: If fevers are our body fighting a vírus of some kind, aren’t anti-fever meds actually preventing our body from fighting the issue?

@JtxRei I’m all about any possible reason to buy new tools 🤣🤣

@RI_Houses I have my jigsaw with a few diamond blades. Hoping that will be sufficient. Although I've been dying to get an angle grinder. Maybe this is my excuse 😈😅

Oh yeah! Another trip to home depot and Civic loaded up for this weekend's project 😊

@JtxRei Nice

@RI_Houses The tile comes with a built in spacer. I think it's gonna be 1/16th

@JtxRei Have an angle grinder with a tile blade handy for complex cuts. The snap cutters don’t do well cutting around outlets etc.

@RI_Houses Yup! First time ever doing a backsplash so wanted to keep it nice and simple 😬

@JtxRei Sweet. Doing an 1/8th or 1/16th grout line?

@JtxRei Good ol’ 3x6 white subway. My favorite.

@JtxRei For the future that exact sliding door is available in separate pieces at Home Depot. If it’s a standard size of course. You buy the frame that comes in 4 pieces, then you buy a fixed and sliding panel, with or without the blinds in them. Won’t be as heavy 👍

Woot! Patio door dropped off by my contractor! $120 delivery fee though 😭😭 I didn't want to pick it up myself. That sucker heavy 😅

@ResilientRei If they start forgiving student loans someone better be sending me a huge check. Not my damn problem I was able to pay off 35k in student loans in about 10 years. Yet I’d be penalized for someone else’s problem.

Forgiving student loans give universities cover to rise tuitions further “Don’t worry - the government will forgive this $50k / year tuition in the next down turn” There needs to be mechanisms to keep that from happening - then forgive student loans

Crap missed #BldgREChat today. Got side tracked.

@JtxRei It’s definitely a piece. Creeper van status.

@RI_Houses Very interesting 🤔 Are they cheaper too?

Man... other than money, I'm starting to run out of excuses for not buying a pickup truck 😬😬

@JtxRei I bought both of mine for $1500 each. Was about 3 years back I bought my second one so I’m sure prices have gone up. Not the best looking for sure, dents and rust etc but who cares. 2004 Ford E250 is the model.

@ResilientRei It’s pretty good. We started using it by accident. My girlfriend had bought the small box of singles for a cake recipe then we had a blizzard over the winter and couldn’t leave. Haven’t looked back.

@RI_Houses Never had that iced - imagine it’s pretty good?

Where are you going this morning?

@JtxRei Found in the same p-trap at the same time too🤣

@RI_Houses That's insane! 🤣

What's the weirdest thing you've found in your P-trap?🤮 😅 Me? 👇

@SteveAndApril1 @go_hourly I’m known at Home Depot for wearing Reef flip flops while I’m working on houses. Only time I have my Kevlar bottom steel toe sneakers on is during demo.

@go_hourly Missing wearing sandals to make that perfect...🤣😬

Got workers comp? 😬 #GoHourly
