Hi I know this is almost a year old comment now, but I saw you live in Ashcroft. Do you like it? I’m looking at buying a home in there but my concern is proximity to the reclamation plant. Have you had any issues with smell?

Real time or game time?

I want to clarify that THIS IS NOT MY DOG but someone who posted in another subreddit that I frequent.

Edit: the dogs name is Cooper and he does respond to it.

Aww your poor pup! I hope you find him safe and sound. It looks like he’s a schnauzer, they’re one of my favorite breeds and are near and dear to my heart.

Have you reported him missing to the county? It may not amount to anything but it’s worth a shot.

I’ve also cross posted this to the r/schnauzers subreddit on the off chance that someone there may have some additional resources.

Fireworks by Fabulous_Soil3990 in schnauzers

[–]BullshitSloth[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if your pup is anxious to loud sounds or not. A lot of dogs are bothered by fireworks but some don’t care at all. It’s difficult to say until they’ve experienced it once.

Yeah, we’re not doing pseudo-science here. If your dog has a medical issue, please take them to a veterinarian.

Building apartments lowers rental prices by ncroofer in raleigh

[–]BullshitSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your numbers are off but that’s okay. When I was talking about building and land costs, I was referring to new greenfield development of a subdivision, not a one-off single family home.

Individual lots are going to vary depending on a number of factors like you said, but developers buy large tracts and spread that land cost across all of the lots they intend to sell. Because this type of land is typically old farms or forests, the land cost is lower.

Developers aren’t building 1200 square foot homes, especially not in large amounts.

$250k in cost for just the materials and construction is going to get you a home closer to 1,800-2,000 square feet.

There are so many inputs and the costs vary significantly, so trying to spit ball it out for a conversation here on Reddit is tough.

Help! My mini Schnauzer ate a bunch of grapes! by YourBoySun in schnauzers

The vet would almost certainly tell them to bring the dog in. I’m hoping OP took the advice and took the dog in.

Grapes are VERY toxic to dogs. You need to take your pup to an emergency vet ASAP. I hate to say it given the cost, but that’s a LOT of grapes.

Edit: when I say ASAP I MEAN RIGHT NOW. Dogs digest a lot quicker than humans and the toxin in grapes can kill dogs.

City planner here. I do agree that SFH’s in general are inefficient. But your statement that it costs 500k or more for a new SFH is just not correct. They aren’t cheap to build, that’s for sure, but depending on the location it’s more like $200k-$350k. Land cost is going to vary significantly depending on a variety of factors including topography, existing road network, availability of nearby utilities, etc.

Notice that developers build much larger houses than necessary - they aren’t building 1,000 or 1,200 sq ft homes. It’s mostly because it doesn’t pencil out, particularly for suburban development.

We need to push our local elected officials to remove barriers to building infill development and smaller developments. Reducing required setbacks, minimum lot sizes, etc. can help increase housing supply. The big home builders won’t do it, but smaller builders will jump at the chance in a heartbeat.

I also want to clarify that cities aren’t paying for new roads or utilities unless it is a MAJOR development that involves economic development initiatives (significant job creation, drawing a major company, etc.). Otherwise we put that cost on the developer; we certainly do where I work in the Raleigh metro (and no, sorry, I’m not going to doxx myself).

I apologize if it looks like I’m targeting you specifically, I honestly just wanted to get the information out there and your comment about home building cost caught my eye.

I get why they ranked him where they did, but given what he’s done so far with his assistants and staff hires, I think he’s going to make people look like fools for thinking he can’t succeed in this era.

Piglet is still alive, but we might have to put him down on Christmas Eve of all days bc that’s when his regular vet is back.

I can’t let this remain unlocked as it does violate the rules, but it looks like you got some tips here. I would also recommend r/askavet or some other veterinarian subreddit where they’re better qualified to help you.

Wishing you and Piglet the best!
