No Alex, you buy the lien on the tax debt first, and you
either get paid back at high rates, which is very unlikely,
or you get the house. It would be foolish to burn it down
when you could sell it cheap to a Chinaman.

As I understand it, that's the law in Lebanon.

In the USA, it seems to be up to individual states.

Also, the practitioners have fregmented into two camps:

There are those who fuck animals, and those who
fall in love with their animals. At least that's
what they say.

Not even 10 miles away from Joplin. I have no reason to go up that way,
but if I make the trip down, I might venture more than 10 steps over the
Kansas and Oklahoma borders, just for fun. I wonder if there will be
any parking lot vendors at Schnuck's? ;)

It's possible that it's stick-built and veneered with brick. What

John's circa 1930 house, yes, likely veneer brick (like my father's 50's

structural brick and no studs in the walls.

The restaurant next to my office had a car go through it. I was surprised to see that the bricks weren't real. The family that owns the restaurant used to have a lunch wagon. My wife and I used to spend pleasant hours eating beef curry plate lunches from the truck while sitting on the grass nearby. That woman in the photo would be playing around the truck while her family dished out food. She was 4 years old or so at the time.

Oh, that's neat. Most everything else by then would have been wooden
frame construction with a single layer of brick outside. How are your
walls insulated? Unfortunately, I go without, since the interior
masonry has the finished plaster on it.

[Cindy Hamilton]

My walls are not insulated. Since my attic isn't finished, we have
upward of a foot of blown-in insulation up there. My winter gas bill
for heating (keeping the house at 71 F all the time) is about $100-$120
per month.

That would be nice. I'm not on any sort of budget/average payment plan.
Surprisingly, last December, the coldest month, I only used about 219
CCF of natural gas, with the thermostat set to ~60. With
supply/distribution and all of the fees, the bill was about $220-some.
January is usually more expensive, but it was 183 CCF and $190.

Natural gas prices are reasonable here, but what is not reasonable would
be the minimum "delivery" billing of $42 or so/mo regardless of usage.
Had I known that, I might have reconsidered NG hot water and stove...
Turning the gas off in the summer.

60F? I've known a few stingemeisters over the years, but you take the

Natural gas is dirt cheap. My family's house was a natural gas house. I remember a paperback book that extolled the wonderfulness of natural gas and recipes that came with the house when we moved in. The LNG was replaced with propane at sometime in the past. Propane is dirt cheap too, I guess. The house next door had solar panels installed yesterday. The electric bill on our house is so low that installing solar panels on our roof wouldn't make any sense.

January was the coldest month here last year. I used up 112 CCF
keeping my house at 70 F. It barely matters what I paid; my gas
rates won't be the same as your gas rates.

LOL. I heated to 67F (or close to 20C for those down-under) inside one
year. My drafty old house still felt cold. I figure, if I'm going to
be miserable and cold either way, I might as well just be cold at 60
with a lower heating bill. I already have comforters stacked up on the
bed. Current high/low this time of year is approximately 23/15 C (and
I'm freezing already).

You should meet my environmentalist friend in Wisconsin... dude heats
his house to 45 F in the cold months... No, I'm not kidding. He
complained that his freezer is defrosting in the winter, because it
won't kick on (it's fridge temperature inside of the house)... So he
had to store frozen stuff outside. Dedication to the cause, I guess.

you'll acclimate to it somewhat, but the problem is that

Why don't you seal your house? Don't you have humidity problems?

I need to figure out how to replace the Yankee gutters on at least one
side. I think the metal rusted out, and that causes dampness in the
cellar during warmer months.

I think I am going to put the pink fiberglass insulation in the wooden
cavities above the foundation stone around the exterior perimeter of the
cellar. I'm hoping that will help with some of the issues.

I'm talking about the house that my brothers and I own in Kailua. We've been staying here while plumbing repairs are being made to our condo. The idea of you telling me what we are living in is pretty silly. I just paid the electric bill on our condo today. It was 400 bucks and a few dollars more.

If it was always 84-68 here, that would be simply amazing. I'd never
need a furnace again, and surely not an air conditioner. Electric must
be really expensive on his rock to pay $400/mo in that perfect climate.

The climate in most of the Hawaiian islands is around what Carol

not get terribly hot (unless one is fleeing from an erupting volcano).
But living in Hawaii is extremely expensive.

Yes, that would be perfect. But here, in the subtropics, it already
gets up to 93F max in the house, so I assume it can get really hot in
tropical Hawaii as well.

it is. they're one of the places where solar, wind and
geothermal power with battery backup is cheap compared to
what they're currently paying. they've made some progress
in converting over to renewable resources instead of
burning coal and oil, but they still have a ways to go.
in the meantime a lot of people have bought solar panels.

Yes and it's getting pretty cheap elsewhere. My tax rebate last year
paid off 2/3 of it. I'm down to 6.1k owed. I should be loan-free by
March 2024. It would be better if current tech could handle the slope
degree on the back of my garage roof, but as it is I seem to be hitting
80% solar collection over the last 10 months.

[Michael Trew]

That is my intent. Nine years to go... Northern SC might be nice,
inland a little ways from the coast. A lot can change in 9 years, however.

My sister is intent on moving back to Pennsylvania. Sure, it's a bit of
a nicer area in a good part of suburban Pittsburgh, but it's still
miserable and cold... It's simply a lot more expensive than right over
the Ohio border. I just leveled the abandoned garage next to my
recently purchased $2,400 house. Mother nature took down the roof,
prior. All it took was a chain attached to my truck. Fun times ;)

I'm real happy for you. But stop and consider how many more
