    Cuz he has his own sub forum for his area. And the posters who live here in New England at least belong here. Just my opinion Bob.  I wouldn’t go to his sub forum, and throw a weenie tag on him or anybody else there.
     

    It’s a kin to going to a dinner party, and dropping a duece in the hosts shi**er and not flushing it.  No class. 

    Rookie move. The seasoned pro leaves a gift in the form of an upper decker.

    Think of places where there are yoga pants, spin classes, lattes, and liberals. That's the only place I have a prayer with my wife. She likes civilization. I have an outside shot at Canton, maybe, if I'm lucky. Simsbury might be my best chance overall to get a good elevation and make her happy. PITA. If it was up to me, I'd buy a lot and build a mansion, set up a camera, and pretend I'm phin. 

    Looks like there are a few homes in the northwest part of town that are in the 1000' elevation. Here's one that will compete with Phin: https://www.redfin.com/CT/West-Simsbury/47-Highridge-Rd-06092/home/54002316

  3. The second/vacation home market in my area of NH has nearly doubled over the past 3 or 4 years, but it seems a correction is beginning to happen. I think the trend will continue especially in the second home market which seems to be more volatile. 

    It's pretty wild though to think I was able to buy a 1 acre lot with mountain views for less than $10k 12 years ago. Some of the lots just a couple years before that were selling at auction for under $2k.

     

    Just picked up the IKON pass. Hope to get in a trip out west and maybe a weekend at Tremblent or possibly a little summer skiiing at Vallle Nevado. At least that's what my buddy has in mind, but a lot will depend on whether the new housing starts don't come to a screeching halt.

    The worst of it is likely just beginning for Fort Myers proper and Cape Coral. Winds are finally starting to push water up the river (along with the pressure related surge), and as winds come around to more westerly it should really start to shove water into those canals.

    I was thinking that as well. My SIL has a house about 10 miles northeast of FMB and although that may sound like a lot, it's only about 15' above sea level and all those canals, who knows how far inland the surge/flooding will get. Even though they'reabout 15' above sea level, the FEMA 100 year storm is 15'. Probably designed to be an inch over flood zone. FEMA going to go broke. Kinda reminds me of Sandy. This one is going to be costly.

  5. I had been watching the waves from the Lana Kai hotel webcam this morning until it went offline about  3 or 4 hours ago. At that time, it appeared the waves were at the building line. These twitter feeds prove what I suspected. You look at where FMB is located in relation to the eye/eyewall and you can only imagine how high the storm surge must be.
