Geez ... wind is unreal, could hardly keep my truck in the road. Lake house is fine and has power, the valley house looks like a war zone.

Yes.

@SumSoonerChick passed her Licensed Practitioning Counselor exam!

Does that mean you can start living the life of ease as a kept man?

the first requirement to be a trophy husband is to be a trophy.

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

And just like that ... all is calm and the Sun is out.

 

[Grand Vol]

Does that mean you can start living the life of ease as a kept man?

No, just means her diagnosis of me is now professional.

 

[hog88]

No, just means her diagnosis of me is now professional.

Oh boy that's going to be fun for you. Can she prescribe drugs?

 

[UT_Dutchman]

Yes.

You all stay safe, just had a 100+ foot oak fall on my boat. Still crazy wind here in north Knoxville.

Anyone know if homeowners covers that ? Just took the insurance off 2 weeks ago.

Damn, your boat? That sucks!

Homeowners should cover it.

 

[Grand Vol]

Sadly no.

More likely she'd prescribe them for herself after dealing with me.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

Yes sir, 1 got the car in May and now the boat, wtf.

Sorry about the car but damn the boat is a terrible loss.

$250 / ft²?

 

[hog88]

$250 / ft²?

$247

 

[McDad]

$247

Look at ole McDad. Within 1% out of thin air.

Does back to the drawing board mean cutting out some ft² and/or amenities?

If it were up to me we'd be cutting both, about 1/2 the sqft and about all of the "that would nice to haves". But since I have little say in it I'll just work on some of the amenities.

Understood.

We are hoping to downsize in a few years. Sounds like yall are upsizing?

Not upsizing but about the same sqft. The plan was to downsize but when we started looking at house plans they grew.

Me: Why do we need 4 bedrooms it's just me and you
Her: What if all of your family comes to visit?
Me: They won't but if they do, some can stay in a hotel
Her: What if all of mine comes
Me: I'll go stay in the barn

As an example of how our negotiations went.

Apparently a dam has failed on the N.C. state line. Newport and Hartford are under water.

Saw that, it's not good. There is also a warning for imminent failure of the Lake Lure damn in NC, that's a pretty decent sized lake.

That is not good.

I saw the alerts discussed in the zone severe weather thread. Hope everyone heeded the warnings.
