Nice winter storm on the icon end of next week lol

Duxbury football in some serious hot water

Thoughts on Sunday? Supposed to be a baseball double header at work; but looks like it could be quite wet

Get the sand bags ready for Sunday.

Sunday looks wet. Enjoy

My parents got like a 7x7 plastic lifetime shed. It was supposed to be a temporary thing after we moved in, but they’ve kept it. Thing sucks lol. It leaks, it’s warping, and it doesn’t match the house.

Are you slice seeding too? If you are, it should be fine. Even if you’re not, it’s probably okay.

Sunday has the potential to be a soaker.... more so than the Friday deal I think

What a soaker on the gfs for Sunday.

Sunday looks like it could be a washout

Another project I have going is I’m going to be putting some blue stone down in an area off my deck that floods, in order to help drainage. I want to make it look decent. What kind of plants can go right into the dirt and be surrounded by the stone? Im having a hard time finding anything concrete.

We have a power washer, too. I was contemplating doing it myself, but my neighbor did his last year and basically ruined his vinyl siding. It has all kinds of faded uneven areas now where he went too close. I figured it was worth the $400 bucks it’s going to cost me as opposed to potentially running my siding lol.

Spring has sprung here. Bulbs popping all over the place. Hosta coming up. having my house and deck power washed tomorrow. Weather permitting, we stain Easter weekend

Yeah there is no frost here lol.... looks fairly mild the next couple weeks too.

Well see what happens with a lot of these. I thought a lot of colleges would crumble from this, but apps and enrollment for next year seems to be unaffected if not even better than normal at a lot of places from people I’ve spoke with. Kids are just going to keep going to college.

I designed and ordered a shed in December. It was like $6000. 3 months later that same build would be like 8 thousand dollars. Material prices are sky rocketing.

Just bought 6 of them and a couple pencil holly.... should be here by April 2

Damn... alright... yeah looks like they are hardy to zone 5....I’ll order them now

When we got our mortgage it was required that we escrow property insurance and taxes, as a condition of receiving the loan. It was also sold to us as a good idea because a lot of people need the structure of having the payments built in as opposed to cutting the city or town a check 4 times a year.

I want to plant some soft touch holly shrubs along my walkway. How soon can I plant those in this area?

Yeah.... our taxes have largely been unchanged since we moved in. Maybe 100-200 increase total over the 2 years? The issue was, they straight up did not include a $1500 tax payment into their analysis. Which obviously throws it off big time. Im going to be surveying my options. The fact that they want nearly a 2k minimum in the escrow account as well is silly. My taxes won’t be going up 2k in any given year. Well see

Yeah.... in the back of my head, I figured something like this could happen. I was a little irritated when they basically said there was nothing they could do at the time. and now here we are. I’ll see what they say about options for repayment. Im starting to wonder if I should lose the escrow and pay the taxes and insurance myself.

I’m not going to wade to far into these waters, but it’s a similar sentiment to the mass teachers association head, who is apparently a scientist now, and questioning the science of the CDC decision. Its obviously not a one size fits all approach, but a lot of these unions have definitely overplayed their hand at this point. Since they’ve been prioritized in getting the vaccine recently, we are now moving onto other issues on why they can’t return to the classroom. To the outside observer, it certainly looks like the unions are looking for reasons not to resume in person learning.

Anyone here ever deal with an escrow shortage? My mortgage company forgot to include the fourth quarter taxes during their yearly escrow Analysis last March. This caused my payment to lower. I alerted them that this must have been a mistake, and they basically said it’s not a big deal and there is nothing they can do. Fast forward to today, I get this years analysis, and there is a shortage of almost $3000! In addition, my monthly escrow is increasing by $150. So between the normal increase, and shortage, my mortgage payment is increasing nearly $400. Do I have any recourse here as far as repayment? I understand it’s money I owe, but as far as stretching out repayment? To be clear, this is their mistake, and I now will be paying for it. Seems outrageous to expect people to just shrug their shoulders at a $400 a month increase in payment.

The variant thing is overblown I think. The vaccines seem to work just fine against them for the most part. Normal progression of a virus.
