My Covid is all but gone except for the nagging cough. I started my next project. Removed the banged up bed off my 2016 RAM 2500 yesterday. I have a brand new takeoff bed for it. Once the bed came off I started looking at everything under there and decided to clean up the frame and all other parts. I took off the trailer hitch, spare tire, spare tire jack and spare tire shield. I have my blaster cabinet all rebuilt since it burned up due to a short. I got to blast the spare tire shield and painted it. Depending on the weather today I may start sandblasting the rest of the frame. I did a section yesterday with a wire brush and painted it. That was just too much work and too slow.

Idahoans are now fleeing to the Missouri /Arkansas Ozarks for freedom.
I'm constantly meeting folks fresh from Idaho who say it's been ruined by all the left coast culture crud moving in.
Got home too late last night from FIL's place to want to unload the truck. Couldn't get all black locust so had to settle for some hickory too. Oh darn.
Have a couple more loads to retrieve today from my newest, new best friend. Should take less than 2 hours to do, then it looks like I'll be bored for the rest of the day.

Slowp, “Don’t Move Here”. Thankfully, she has mostly gone elsewhere now. PITA extraordinaire.
Although the Whitespider vs slowp debates were priceless.
Especially when he “moved” to the F and L forum. The good old boys over there did not appreciate him doing to them what she was doing to us lol.

When I first moved to Brewster in 1977 I paid $36,000 for a 2 bedroom house, and my total taxes were $660/year ... and the schools were good and the snow got plowed!
Now, my 3 bedroom house is assessed at over $500,000 and my RE taxes are over $11,000/year and the school is 75% non-english speaking!
Bought my upstate land (off the grid) for $300/acre in 1985. A recent property up there went for 10X that amount (vacant land, off the grid, minimum 50 acres).
The world is getting insane, and I have difficulty fathoming were all the money comes from.

I haven’t figured that out either.
There’s a second boom up here for vacation homes and people are literally playing stupid prices for gravel, landscaping services, and construction.

Two words. Quantitative Easing.
When you moved there it was in the sticks. My first home in Valhalla NY Westchester county was 120k taxes wernt too bad I lived there about 3 years very old house sold it for 195k thought I made a killing I then moved to Ossining older home again with 2 small rental bungalows. Paid 159k sold it in 1991 for 201k bought my next on in wappingers for 110k . Now the Wappinger home is close to 400k . It's just crazy the place I live in has gone up tremendously in the last few years . Keeping this one and going to sell the Wappingers house one day and buy some property where it dont snow or maybe just a month of cold .
The house in Valhalla sold in 2010 for 495k and they tore it down a built a McMansion on the property
Todays project new script for the hood
the first E is a little off the holes are factory in the hood and can’t remember if it was like that before. The letters are GM restoration parts suppose to be exact as they are from GMs molds . Same with grille hoops I bought repro ones that fit like crap . I got ones at twice the price made from the original dies and were thicker aluminum like the originals and fit perfectly.

Actually, the big difference was "it was not Westchester". Now, no one seems to care too much!
Actually, Putnam used to be part of Dutchess County, but they cut it off because it was the "poor" section. Hard to believe the first County North of Westchester (which used to be the richest County in the Country) was the "poor County".
The roads were paved, and most houses were built when I got here, but the prices had not yet taken off. When I bought in Putnam, the prices were about 1/3 of what the same house would be in Westchester. It made no sense to me, and I guess I turned out to be right! (I grew up in Westchester but could not afford a house there).
I urged my Father to buy land in Putnam when I bought my house, but he would not do it, insisting it would never be worth anything. Big mistake!
I could have quadrupled my money in 3 years after buying the house, and if I sold it and purchased in Middletown, I could have done the same thing all over again. It was like a wave traveling mostly North.
My moms house is in Carmel on 2+ acres . Her and dad moved there in 1981 the house was in foreclosure and they got ot for 101k put about 40k onto it . We get unsolicited offers from realtors for 800 + . She lives near the reservoir dam off of route 6 . My mom jokes the only way shes leaving is feet first . Shes 89

All I can say is, that I'm really glad that when we moved to our "freedom-land" of the U.P. of MI, from the @#$%-hole of IL, I'm very grateful that our freedom didn't cost anywhere near the numbers that everybody has been throwing around.
We got our 40 acres (60-70% wooded), 3K sq.ft. log home, detached large garage, and decent sized pole barn for 325,000. AND that was 50K over the seller's asking price, because we had been outbid on three different homes we were trying to buy in the two years prior. Taxes aren't too bad either compared to what wen were used to.
And the best part of moving here is that you can do pretty much whatever you're man enough to do. As long as your actions don't infringe on anybody else's peace or happiness, nobody bothers you, and let's you do what you want. Which is so nice after being overly "governed" for the last 30 years while trying to earn my living where I needed to be in order to make what I wanted to make. I feel like I had to make a whole lot of compromises for those 30 years in order to get us where we want to be now. And we no longer have to make compromises.
I'm talking a buildable house lot in the country.You guys talking about the house included? My timber plot is currently about $7k per acre. My house lot is about $2,000,000 per acre

Property taxes in NY are what keep the house prices low. My brother lives in Webster. My forebears settled in Mexico and Pulaski. My great great grandfather bought up 2 folk victorians on Wellesley Island in 1910 and the row house belongs to us now. It was converted to a cabin around the early 50’s. It’s a nice little island home with a good view of the grand St. Lawrence River. Btw those two white oaks are probably 200 years old easy. We just got here today for the week.
