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.

Next week looks fairly mild even if not sunny and dry all week. Should see some spring bulbs really pop. My hosta are already poking through

I remember this story was mentioned here a few weeks ago. https://whdh.com/news/massachusetts-bail-fund-pays-100k-to-free-woman-accused-of-putting-newborn-baby-in-boston-trash-can/ big time yikes ok that one

18z models semi interesting down here for snow. We’ll see

Should be some decent green up of the usual early stuff next week after the rain today and tomorrow.

3K continues to hit this area pretty hard for a few hours before it exits

Yeah... I wouldn’t be surprised to see an ORH ray jack... and maybe a second maximum in like the interior se mass areas south of Boston over to like scooter.

Too be fair.... there has been some model runs showing a smaller secondary jack over his area

Congrats Scott on the 3k

That’s what I would go with with.

That looks reasonable to me

I’d take the euro 2-4” here
