    Hang on. That looks suspiciously like research. Is it going to the moon or not?

    If you are a cash buyer you can skip the ALTA and just do a good boundary. That’s what you tie the deed to. If you’re into tree mitigation get an arborist. Lots of the trees that get tied by surveyors are misidentified and furthermore frequently sick or dead. You shouldn’t pay for either. Davey usually has a good arborist, and in many jurisdictions they will allow you to spend the mitigation on tree health like pruning, aeration or fertilization.

    Yes. The ALTA is to satisfy lenders and most won’t loan you money without it. You need to be able to get a solid title commitment too. The final plat can be done without the benefit of a tree and topo survey but usually you want those done first in case any easements or other permanent features need to be accommodated. Finally you have to set pins, also known as staking lot corners, before the plat is recorded. That way any other surveyor can verify lot corners for subsequent transactions. All I can say if you’ve never done it before is find a good surveyor who does subdivisions in the jurisdiction you’re in. You will never regret something more than a bad surveyor.

    Nice! Just saw this, way to go. Even if it is short term that is going to be a bad ass experience.

    Nice contribution. Easy add to the ignore list.

    And Berrettini drops out to Covid. Men’s draw is looking rough… Putinseva losing to cornet is a shame. I watched some of Murray and he is a shadow of what he once was. Amazing that he can play with the artificial hip but he doesn’t have “it” anymore.

    To be fair juniors success doesn’t always translate. But yeah I’m comfortable that she is the favorite. Jabber doesn’t convince me at majors. I actually think Kvitova is my dark house for this one. On the men’s side you have to go with Joker or Nadal but Fritz would be fun to have make a run, and Berrettini will go deep.

    Lol you’re still posting zero hedge.

    With that avatar I guarantee I’ll look at it.

    I am so glad my wife can make good Tex mex! I can cook French, Italian, and meat but I cannot make good chili or salsa! The photo below is the thing I like the best right now, though!

    Damn this is pithy, sad, and dark. Well done sir.

    I thought you were supposed to fist yourself? I really wish people would put trolls on ignore and not respond with quotes so we don’t have to read their horse shit. Attention and outrage are their fuel. Take that away and they’ll get bored and go away.
  13. Hefeweizen
    This whole page is blank so I’m guessing I didn’t miss much. Here’s a suggestion: ignore trolls. They will go away if no one responds.

    Fat penko slipping and falling was the highlight of that match. Wasn’t Kvitova the one who was attacked in her home with a knife and fought the dude off? Tsetse fly destroying Batista Agut right now. Fritz should beat Cressy easily.

    Quit watching the news. Go for a run, play a sport, or enjoy your hobbies. There is a lot more where this bad shit is coming from, and a lot of pain still to come. I am doing what I can to protect my family including getting an escape place in another country (including citizenship) but ultimately you have to live your life and do what makes you happy.

    Speaking of loans I close on next Friday, 22 days from the offer being written. That’s pretty impressive by any metric except all cash. I got to say even though my lender isn’t Phil or Thad, I’m pretty happy. The kick in the balls was when we found out some of the new appliances are over six months out. Now to be back to debt slavery for a few more years. It was liberating being free from all debt for a month and a half!

    Come to Butthead.

    Not that young anymore. And I’m not really sure I want the job. I’m trying but it’s tough to work remote. It would be a lot simpler to just work out here on local projects.

    Truth. Access to just about everything is awesome. I just starting the finding out portion of my move today. Some of my clients in Texas are pretty sarcastic about it. I offered to not work on their stuff anymore. So far no takers. I will say, Texas pride is probably going to end up costing me a lot of my business. But I was prepared for that too.

    Did anyone have 25% of the population having confidence in the Supreme Court on their bingo card? Because that is the number now. The country is circling the drain. I don’t know when civil war is coming or what will start it but those levels of mistrust in all institutions is exceptionally corrosive. I don’t see a path back to trust, either.

    It’s really only for a certain kind of people. Because I’ll really admit there is Jack shit for sports viewing nearby, there is no night life at all, and there are no young singles if you want to find a partner. But for me it’s pretty much perfect. The weather, outdoor activities, individual sports, access to the ocean, and overall small town quality of life are incredible. They have great internet, a fantastic public library, and I can walk or bike anywhere. If I need to go to a big box it’s 15 minutes to seaside or marina.

    Since you’re worried about negs, have some surly rep.

    O saco estava cheio meu amigo. Nao tinha mais para dar jeitinho. As anyone who knows me can tell you I’m a slow decision maker but once it’s done it’s over. And icepocalypse was not the final blow in terms of lack of trust in the governing entities in Texas, the response to it was. We became a failed state and the response (I know because I touch on a lot of emergency management items) was literally to pass some more paperwork for utilities to fill out. Emergency preparedness plans. L o fucking l. I work full time remote which honestly kind of sucks but living out here is worth it.

    I’ll play. We sold our home in Westlake Hills in May and moved to the Monterey peninsula in California. For me it was a quality of life move. I had terrible cedar allergies, I was tired of how much traffic I sat in, and finally, I was tired of Austin. For my wife and daughter it was a strong desire to leave Texas period, due to the politics. For both my kids it is also planning on attending school out here and living here long term. I am really glad we did it. Texas seems like a bigger clusterfuck by the day.
