Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

That place is a memory of mine. Many changes since I first came here. a local builder bought it, put in a cul-de-sac, and stuck 4-5 smaller homes in. Lots are big in town. Most places have a barn. They took the barn on this place down a few years prior. They are just now building the last house, which sits right where the old one did. It would have been more tasteful, in my opinion, to have left the old place stand. It was bought for the value of the land, so renovate the place that has been fitting in all along and stick the newer places (where they are) down grade and back where they impact the street view less. I mean, the town is known for its picturesque Main St. He did a good job, but I would have left the old place.

No eyesore. Someone removed the doors, windows, and most of the siding. I would have dismantled the whole thing. That place just needed paint on the exterior. It wasn't bad.

The places along Main St, especially up the hill (like this place), were built as summer homes. The town originated as a whistle stop for the B&O climbing Parrs Ridge, people came out of the city to the cooler fresher air. The whole street is lined with turn of the century homes. The ones going down the hill are mostly the same Sears Catalog house. I think this place was one as well, frame house with steep turned gable. The ones up the hill are mostly Victorian. The president of the B&O's daughter built a sanitorium for children out of Baltimore along the ridge. I guess the town might not be here if there had been air conditioning

This house was along Main St in Mt. Airy where I live, the Martin place. I knew it sold and saw it being prepped for raising, unfortunately. So, on the day I saw all the dust ahead I knew what was up. I found it ironic there is this huge billowing dust cloud from a pre-75 house drifting through town when I have regs up the wazoo for lead dust control so stringent with ridiculously high fines per violation. I think it begins on disturbing any area of wall over 32 sq' (4' x 8'). Ah, whatever.
Here you need to do abatement prior to demo . Lots of the old places seem to burn down for no apparent reason.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

WOW!! The flooded truck left to sit a week was enough. Then the not so small fire?? Jeezy Peezy, that's some real carnage right there! It's like a boat sitting out on the water burning till it sinks. Only this would the whole marina. That sky view really sends it home. Shewee!

And a Hummingbird in the snow?? Certainly never seen that! They are long gone from here long before the first frost

Probably lithium batteries caught fire . Lithium batteries can short and start to burn if damaged and exposed to water ,some RVs come with them as standard for the coach .

Makes ya wonder about how a huge pack in a Tesla would react

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I took the week off with the plan to work out in my little shop. Snowed day after Christmas, about 6 to 8 inches (quite a bit more other places around here). Next couple days we’re mid teens but no snow. Yesterday it wasn’t bad (still too cold to be in shop) and with the wind and sorta warmer it helped sluff off some snow. Then it went and snowed again last night. Weather app says maybe more? So today will make another day of me not working on any of the projects I was hoping to get done. I have heat out there but it isn’t that effective. Too chilly for my PNW bones to want to work in. Probably balmy in there compared to what you Midwest folks are used to.
Think I’ll start a fire in our little fire pit and sit in one of our overstuffed fluffy chairs

I guess we do things different down here. Our mortgage company requires us to buy flood insurance if we live in a flood plain.

I live in a fire and flood zone. I don't have a mortgage but I am required to buy fire and flood insurance by my wife. And she's tougher than the government.

Random photo of my pimp daddy Caddy when I bought it. No extra charge for the flat tire.

Not bad for 400 bucks. One owner and I drove it home. I just need to clean it up and slap some whitewalls on it.

It has all the options and some of them actually still work.

with all the mountains around us, we flood quite often,
hasn't been this bad in a few yrs though.
the insurance companies know the deck is stacked against them here, so they won't sell it. plus we prob don't have the population like down there to spread out costs, so it's a real cr*p shoot for the insurance companies...
when we had a mortgage, they are well aware ya can't get flood insurance here, but they don't seem to care- there all gung-ho on making sure you got fire insurance though
as it is, their gonna be on the hook for a few billions anyways, we had massive land slides everywhere, our town was literally cut off from the world for about 8-10 days, every single road and hiway in was destroyed

ya, the double bridge that's dropped down at one end.
actually 4 or 5 bridges on the coke got heavily damaged, and 5 major wash-outs..
their hoping to have one lane open by next month and it will be for essential only (fire, ambo, police and commercial trucks, it's a major lifeline for the whole area)

After seeing Dieseldawg142 pictures, I'm not going to complain about a little snow shoveling! So very sad to see all that destruction. Did get the 70 freed from it's snowy grave yesterday.

also affected our work. was off for 5 days, couldn't get no materials delivered to our local jobs, and couldn't get out of here for our out of town work.
when the water receeded enough to open some roads, this is what we found at one of our job sites.
it's a seismic upgrade to a skool roof. we tear off the old roof, then the contractor's crew comes in at night and does the seismic work to the roof, then we come back and watertight them up.
as it's the winter, the contractor hired a company to come and hoard the job site (basically shrink wrap the roof). we got very lucky, the hoarding stayed on the side that we had the roof ripped off of, the side that went is not done, but at least we had the roof based in. as it was, there was damage, 'bout 15 G's of water damage and a couple grand of physical damage from the hoarding smacking stuff...
check out the water blister that helped bring it down. we cut one blister open and approx 5-600 gallons of water gushed out
