@FightGandhi @Watchman_motto That’s the idea mate

@critterdave @Watchman_motto It’s nice but will be green in a few years

Why haven’t you already made the leap? It’s time for copper gutter and downspouts.

@PGaches Phil this is epic! Would love to see any video on any future projects to get a flavor for the triangular details. Thanks for sharing the above pictures!

This week we created this Tudor fireplace in situ based on one from Cothay Manor. Tudor Overmantel and ceiling to follow.

@davidellebrecht Just subscribed to give it a go

The best pour over I’ve had a long time this morning.

@quanknowsball @GoodFundies Not all of them!!

@GoodFundies This reminds me of when Yankees fans back in the day wanted Joba to be a starting pitcher

It is time to discuss whether the Padres are wasting the greatest pitcher of our generation in the bullpen. Mason Miller is too good to pitch 70 innings a year.

@rossiadam Highly highly recommend a sauna - frequent sauna use materially reduced odds of neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s/dementia)

Alzheimers = my nightmare. We need to grok it. When I wrote my will, asked my lawyer to put in a clause that directed my family to euthanize me if I become 20% mentally diminished. Lawyer said not legal. Laila said I would hit the threshold drinking beer at a football game 🤷‍♀️

The urban environments the founders exchanged ideas, debated in, and structured the “American experiment” were all walkable, urban environments Those outcomes are artificially blocked by modern zoning codes. Those zoning codes are the opposite of free land use. I think you are sharing more common ground than you think

@Boenau Actually the restriction of movement is your scheme.

Who in their right mind would like practical things within 10 minutes of home, amirite.

@shawngorham You're a beast Shawn, props to you

92 year old seller - still very sharp First thing I did is ask if she had family close and make sure they were in the meeting I could have swiped a lot of equity, but then I would have to look in the mirror and sleep at night What I have noticed about older sellers they have price anchored to a value long past and they cant imagine what current market value of their house is. They bought for $48k they made $18k a year in income, they stopped being active in trading and knowledge 20 years prior and cant imagine how a person might have $1mm to buy their house and how incomes are $200k This is why its so easy for wholesalers to swipe equity from older sellers. I believe in doing the right thing for others We made an offer based on our desired ROI and profit which Ive shown 4 examples this week. Not more, not less. Same offer we make to experienced sellers Open, transparent, honest, do the right thing, pray and trust God. 3 flips and 3 brokerage deals this year so far - haven't prospected once. btw - person who gave us this lead called this a "hoarder home" this is NOT a hoarder home

@Watchman_motto 100%

This yellow brick house is a real beauty. You don’t need square footage, you need a solid floor plan executed artfully.

@Watchman_motto Is this from Brent Hull’s 100 yr window?

This is perfect.

@simonsarris @krishnanrohit this has aged beautifully

@krishnanrohit DOCN is positionally underrated right now I think. We'll see in one year. It's shocking that no one cares about it, but that's what you hope for with an investment thesis, as long as they do eventually I'm more optimistic on cloudflare than the mag7 rn

S&P - all time highs Gold - all time highs Silver - all time highs Mag 7 - oh god all time highs Bitcoin - same US home prices - record levels I don’t know what to invest in anymore.

The 2011 Raid to get Bin Laden was incredible >US intelligence notices Al-qaeda courier has a big house with a goofy high wall blocking the balcony >US notices three families live there and one never leaves the house >Using overhead cameras like out of a movie, they notice tall, lengthy guy walks with a limp >US compares his walk to a video from two decades before. Looks like Bin Laden >Uncertain but Obama’s like we need to kill this mofo so go for it >Mission involves crossing into hostile Pakistani airspace, knowing there is a risk that they send jets after our copters >pakistani version of West Point is right near the suspected Obama compound >seal team 6 simulates raiding the exact building 100 times through a custom built structure >pick a pitch black moonless night for raid >take two helicopters in the middle of the night to Bin Ladens suspected crib. 90minutes in air >one helicopter crashes due to unexpected downdrafts from the high compound walls. Backup copter called when needed to escape >seal team 6 facing very different scenario from those practiced >bombproof wall encountered at compound edge. Red flag he must be there >combat wounded and rehabbed Belgian malinois stands guard to keep watch for anyone trying to escape >enter house. Work way to 3rd floor to find and shoot bin Laden. >Seals radio “Geronimo EKIA” to confirm kill >raid was expected to take 40minutes, took 38. >crashed helicopter deliberately blown up to destroy classified equipment >pakistani jets scrambled to go after Us helicopters. >US copters arrive to safety in Afghanistan airspace before Pakistan can threaten

@SFarringtonBKC @NoahRyanCo One can already get that simply by putting lime plaster on drywall… Vasari one random brand that can be order to your door

@NoahRyanCo $GMX.TO has a mineral deposit that would create mold resistant drywall. They just need a developer to start the project

Mold is literally everywhere. And is part of the reason why Florida drives everybody crazy after a few years. It wasn't as big of an issue when we had concrete houses and indoor/outdoor living. But we've effectively created super-strains with EMF-induced epigenetic changes and antifungal-resistance. Combine this with insulated, water damaged, and cellulose-rich drywall/sheetboard buildings and you have a perfect storm to oneshot anybody with a compromised immune system (most people).

@gerad_t0d Note the low chair rail given the (relatively) low ceiling youtu.be/sLd3AC21WiQ?si…

Patrick Henry’s law office (L) and Abraham Lincoln’s childhood home (R). Notice how much better these spaces feel subconsciously than modern houses. It’s because of the real wood floor.

@jasonc_nc What kind of parody is this?

The quality of journalism re: housing is laughably poor. For example this article has these two statements a couple paragraphs apart yet engages in no discussion about the obvious dissonance. Problem: People being evicted because of rising rents. Answer: A moratorium on build to rent development.

@Kurt_Steiner Geography of nowhere is great. Kunstler makes no attempt to be subtle in his disdain for the collateral damage of American zoning and land use laws

Fresh stack.

@TAmTrib @hannah_rawles Curious why you dislike the meacham Jackson book. His Jefferson one had been fantastic

@hannah_rawles Remini is much better The best is his three volume biography. The one volume is very good, but leaves out a lot The ones by Meachum and Schlesinger are both terrible

You should be reading about American heroes
