Grats on doing and getting something you can be proud of and good luck not falling to the slumping mortgage crisis. (no sarcasm there, honestly, good luck to you on it, wish ya the best)  |
Heh, yeah I just got off the phone with the guy and says he uses the pit all the time and that when he got it installed, he was worried too, and sat in a lawn chair with a beer and garden hose "just in case". Also, moving has been a bitch. I agreed to help the homeowner with some shit, but I should have asked him what the shit was. He was rebuilding a an '85 Ford Bronco and had the chassis, the entire cab part of it, just the metal frame, that that needed to be moved. 6 guys, 900lb hunk of sharp ass metal, with no gloves. We had to set it on the drive train, and the guy holding near the front dragged it and just ripped a ton of electronics and brake lines right out, destroyed about $400 worth of shit.
And yeah, the Vegas housing market is a fucking JOKE right now. 5 years ago all you saw was people driving through neighborhoods looking at house because they were going for like half their original price. Now if you make that same drive every 3rd house is in foreclosure. It's actually quite sad because the mortgage companies are getting people hooked into these deals where you get mad introductory deals that the majority of people can afford but after about 6 months the deal is over and the mortgage payments just balloons like a motherfucker.
However, because of all this, the apartment market is on FIRE because it's all people can afford, and even apartment prices are starting to increase. Another really bad effect this is having is our animal shelters being crammed to capacity because people get these houses, tell themselves they now have a place for dogs, go out and grab 2 Siberian Huskies or something, then have to get rid of them to live in the apartment after their homes foreclose. A lot of people are just abandoning these beautiful, purebred dogs they dropped $2,000 on in the middle of the street, it's fucked up. They don't even have time to try to sell the dogs before they have to move into their apartments so they're dropping them in the desert.
