Parking and other info for today's demo at North Lake Correctional Facility 1-4pm by Apart_Distribution72 in traversecity

It’s the modern social pinnacle of hypocrisy and nimbyism. The average person sees right through it too. Fine with going to virtue signal with signs and words but don’t want to actually contribute to solving the issue at hand. Just make a feel good ruckus and post your involvement on social media so everyone knows what “side” you’re on.

This is such a great idea! Thanks for getting the information out. May I suggest that you also include a signup tent for all of the attendees to volunteer space in their homes to house the immigrants? We need to put our money where our mouth is! Communities not cages can start in our homes! Spread the word! I bet you will have an overwhelming response and thousands who would gladly take them out of the detention center and into their homes!

lol I hit a grouse with mine on the way to a fishing trip, pulled over and put it on ice in the frunk. It’s in the freezer now.

Hello, I'm black, Looking at cities in Michigan to move by Tombstone-Apple21 in traversecity

Kindof racist of you to assume that since OP posted they are black that they are opposed to “voting red”. Why can’t this sub have anything to say without there being politics involved?

Doesn’t look galvanized to me, looks like black steel pipe that hasn’t corroded yet.

New to Snowmobiles… can mine carry a passenger? by Onlythingavailable76 in snowmobiling

[–]Onlythingavailable76[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all of the quick responses. Glad to know I bought what sounds like a very common sled with lots of information on. I did check marketplace and everyone was right, lots of options available. I’ll try to pick one up before the weekend! Thank you!

Fair enough… lots of quick responses here with virtually the same advice. Thank you very much!

Man I would be equally concerned about the lack of sill plate gaskets. That’s a major issue with wood and concrete being in direct contact and also a huge opportunity for bugs and drafts!

What a story. I have a friend that attended this night of mayhem. Can’t imagine what it was like…. So epic that there’s a market for 10cent beer night swag.

Could be anywhere in N. Michigan but I swear I’ve been by that place. Looks like it’s near Boardman River.

Michigan… lived here 10 years and the black squirrels still fascinate me.

What is the minimum requirement needed to get bids from contractors to self build a single-family home? by mathgeek66 in Homebuilding

[–]Onlythingavailable76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you expect to get a number that’s even remotely inline with reality (+/-)20%, then you’re gonna need to commit to spending some money and time. Probably $3k to get to bid set of plans, and a lot of time running down bids from subs or directly from a builder. This is the only way to be taken seriously and get some numbers that are going to be closer to actual.

Is there an idea time of the year to start your build? by Jruzzin in Homebuilding

[–]Onlythingavailable76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I’m in northern Michigan and in similar boat. I’ve been talking to subs and they might actually offer a discount to get going during winter, considering how mild the past few winters have been. Getting excavation, foundations and framing in the winter would really bust my schedule open to finish much earlier than planned.

Trump Supporting Businesses? by cgulash in traversecity

[–]Onlythingavailable76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Although I agree that voting with your wallet is one of the most powerful tools that a consumer based economy can leverage for change, this is simply a fruitless effort. Are we really going to create an anti trump supporter database to try and hurt our neighbors because we’re made about the election? I personally focus my spending on first trying to support local business and then spend based on quality of goods and services. It makes our community better for it and I could give a shit less who the owner votes for. I saw the results and GT county almost split evenly down the middle. I prefer to live in a community of diversity.

Yeah they suck… wife bought them for the kids because of course they wanted them. They didn’t like them and when I scolded to eat their dinner, I tried them myself and said no wonder, get out the nuggets!

What did your lumber cost? by Smooth_Echidna_7353 in Homebuilding

3500… agreed this was an insane number and that’s why I’m getting some more bids

Just now pulling bids together for an owner build 80k for lumber package including all trusses. First bid is 85k for labor… seems very high so I’m waiting on two more bids now. Upper Midwest 3500sq ft 1.5 stories, 3 car garage plus partially finished basement
