I have flippers in my neighborhood too. And often they work later than they should, given the noise ordinances.

8:50 am

BzznBea

These guys tore the roof off last week. Entire second floor is open to the weather.

8:50 am

BzznBea

They haven;t pulled any permits either.

8:51 am

rururocks

i'm still laughing at the image of guys in gigantic shoes on the roof

8:52 am

BzznBea

Put ankle bracelets on them and you would be about right.

8:52 am

hokie carla

the oldest is living in a townhouse that his roommate (another student) bought in his own name. he recently bought another townhouse in the same complex for $120k and sold it for $230k. I think all he did was put in new toilets and maybe vinyl plank flooring.

8:52 am

rururocks

8:58 am

MLFAN17

understandable hokie

8:59 am

MLFAN17

y is greyed

8:59 am

MollyL

Wow, making 100 thousand on a flip (assuming he spent 10 on the toilets and flooring) is a pretty big profit.

9:00 am

rururocks

must be some toilets

9:01 am

hokie carla

yep, and I doubt he spent that much. same kid has 3 or 4 teslas he rents out on this luxury car rental app. very entreprenurial. (ok, I can't get that spelled right).

9:01 am

MLFAN17

is this flip for resale?

9:01 am

hokie carla

that's pretty much the def. of real estate flipping

9:02 am

MLFAN17

sorry wasnt thinking

9:02 am

MLFAN17

if you want to get the most profit you have to spend a lot of money

9:03 am

hokie carla

well, the market's so crazy right now you can still make a lot selling as is

9:03 am

MLFAN17

prices for homes have gone up

9:03 am

BzznBea

Not really. Just do some updates and paint. Curb appeal helps to.

9:04 am

crosshair

here, homes that would have sold for 500k just two years ago are now fetching $750K-$900k--it is just insane.

9:05 am

BzznBea

I still have 23 Fs

9:06 am

hokie carla

same here. we have been looking to move anywhere and it's like that everywhere. mr. homie is like, I'm not paying $300k more than a house sold for 2 years ago.

9:06 am

crosshair

Only place homes are reasonable is out east in the Atlantic provinces.

9:07 am

crosshair

There, a nice home can still be had for $200k-$300K

9:10 am

MollyL

I still don't get how COVID made housing prices increase. So many people are out of work. I would think the prices of everything would be dropping, not rising.

9:11 am

penquis

because lots of people now can work wherever they live and lots are choosing to live elsewhere...

9:11 am

penquis

happening here in Maine....even in very rural small towns...

9:16 am

cherlyq

I wont be moving as I almost have my home paid off but I can see the lure to do so, as I could live anywhere in the lower 48 and keep my job

9:17 am

penquis

it works for a lot of people...

9:17 am

hokie carla

wonder why airbed isn't a word

2:16 pm

hurshy

did something new happen?

2:16 pm

MollyL

Oh the Brits said they didn't consult with the royals about some name for their kid, they said they did. Who cares?

2:17 pm

MollyL

Air bed is two words

2:17 pm

hurshy

well they named her after the queen and Diana, so, i mean... seems like they are honoring them... don't see what there could be to object to

2:18 pm

cybernan

since when has something that traditionally is two words made a difference to enable?

2:18 pm

mkg

I never understood the interest in what the british royals do. Who cares?

2:18 pm

hurshy

if they had named her Spedonkle or something, i could see objecting

2:18 pm

mkg

What is sad is that the royal family never had to turn their wealth over to the nation they stole it from

2:18 pm

hurshy

nations, you mean...

2:18 pm

cybernan

I think what the royals do is of interest to the British, mkg -- same as the president's family is of interest to you.

2:20 pm

mkg

Actually i dont care about our presidents family either. Who caresâ€¦â€¦. Unless they are steeling from our nation i dont care.

2:21 pm

cybernan

I think the malcontents in the public are objecting to Lilibet, which was what one of the older grandkids called the queen when he/she couldn't pronounce Elizabeth and the name stuck with all of the grandchildren.

2:21 pm

hurshy

no, she was lilibet to her family from HER childhood

2:21 pm

hurshy

that's what her dad called her and stuff

2:21 pm

hurshy

i think it's very sweet

2:22 pm

cybernan

or maybe it was that the queen couldn't pronounce her name as a toddler

2:22 pm

hurshy

i don't know if it originated from her not pronouncing or just as a nickname from her family, but it definitely goes back to her childhood

2:22 pm

joym999

The British people I know don't care about the royal family.

2:23 pm

cybernan

It was a child's mispronunciation, I think -- maybe the queen, maybe Margaret

2:23 pm

mkg

Does anyone have a clue for the bottom row E words? Ty

2:25 pm

4:12 pm

hokie carla

well, it's possible I've gotten 11 more from the chat than you

4:12 pm

mkg

There are two en 8s as well.

hokie carla

4:20 pm

mkg

There are basically two base words. And the way it goes is en 7, 8,8 for first word, then 7 and 9 for second word. The two 8s have the common endiings. The two words are different by one letter at the end of the 7s.

4:22 pm

hokie carla

he's fine, they made him throw up and he threw up a bunch of wrappers and chocolate. they said he'd probably pass any remaining wrappers and they gave him charcoal to soak up the rest of the chocolate toxins.

joym999

Dogs!

10:28 pm

hokie carla

I know!

10:30 pm

hokie carla

he was a big hit there too. they are still doing curbside but the girl I talked to on the phone was gushing on about how much she loved him and the girl that brought him out to the car said something about him following her to get her lunch. sounded like they gave him free reign in there ðŸ˜‚
