    Bumping this just to say patio/cover companies suck. After giving up for a few months in trying to find a reliable patio company that can quote the job and simply follow-up, I gave it one more shot. I reached out to another firm and at first it was awesome.

    I gave them drawings of what to build, and they came out to look and drew up a quote within a day. They then provided two references which were solid. I sent them an email to send me their final quote to address a few open items. Ghosted. 

    This now makes something like 7 firms that just simply have blown us off, even though they say they want the work, can do the work, and I didn't even negotiate them down on price at all. And instead of just saying they are too busy, they just never got back to us. And no, our requirements are not unusual or unreasonable and we aren't dickheads.  It's just a bunch of terribly run companies.  Amazing.

    So, we are back looking at boats.  If I can't get a patio/cover built, I might as well have some other recreational activity to do this summer.

    Have you tried Cutters Landscaping?  I haven't used them but I know the owner and have been impressed with some of the builds he's shown me that they've done.

    I'm thinking hard about doing some passive, apartment and/or mobile home syndication investment. Total return in the apartment syndication industry I think is benchmarked at 12-15% annually, but with mobile homes it can be up to 30% which is pretty insane for being silent partner and not having to do any of the work or go out to Kansas/Iowa/Nebraska.

    You might be surprised how competitive the mobile home space has gotten.  Certainly more meat left on the bone out there than conventional MF but the sector has tightened up quite a bit in the last 5-10 years.  I'd make sure you're investing with an operator with experience in the space... it seems simple enough (and it's not rocket science) but there really is a lot of shit that comes up operating a park than you can't imagine going in.   

    Sidenote-  Contrary to what my username may suggest, my experience isn't actually from living in one.

  3. Just had Veracruz today.  The shrimp macha and al pastor tacos were both amazing.

    Consequently, I’m typing this from the seat of the toilet with a flaming butthole.  The red salsa is too much for me.

    Seek therapy. If BMDs wanted to donate to save jobs in the athletic department I'm sure CDC would have taken the money. Blame the fat cats, not him.

    This... I thought the buyout was funded entirely by BMD donations for that specific purpose?  

  5. 519 days from the day he joined the site to his last post.  His total post count at 6099, so 11.75 per day.  Vanished.

    He's gotta be here somewhere... feel like we could make an educated guess by narrowing it down to posters who joined within ~30 days of The Pegg-ening that have shown ~same activity level.
