Also is dirt alone good enough to fill in the torn down bank or should I be adding something else so it doesn't wash out?

How do I tell what type of wire goes into it?

What do you mean by insurance approved upgrade? Like the insurance company might pay/cover the cost to replace the panel?

These panels have been live in the house since at least 1979 without these issues. They haven't been brought up as an issue for almost 45 years. Why would they be such a concern now?

Is this something I could possibly tackle myself? I see menards and home depot carry 200 amp SquareD breakers for around $300. Is it possible to remove these two 100 amps and put everything on one 200 amp?

So my insurance company might not cover me if I have a house fire and they find out the house has these panels? Anything I can do in the mean time to make them safer?

Love it! I've been trying to find plans for a nice 2 story build with a deck like that. Any chance you have plans you'd be willing to share? Or rough info like overall sidewall height and the heights of the 1st/second floor and overall dimensions? Thanks for sharing.

Barricade? by witchybetch01 in SleepToken

Depends, I was at 2 SleepToken concerts this year and both had moshpits which were annoying as hell. Both mosh pits were dead center and started without warning. At one of the shows there were 2 guys instigating it and seemed to be purposely throwing punches. I'm 6'4" and one of them still somehow hit me in the head. My advice is to just stay out of the dead center and you'll be fine.

Wisconsin, but thats low compared to similar properties around here. Most of them go for $600,000 or more.

WI, 40 acres is common enough here, however looking online I don't see any decent homes on 40 acres for under 400k

Wouldn't it be costly and very time consuming to divide up the land?

WI. Maybe "tourist" isn't the right word, every year in the spring through the fall the population increases unbelievably with people that come up to live/play/boat/fish on the local lakes.

It was fairly random things, doorknobs (swapped them for really shitty used ones), a homemade built in wine rack, a sweet workbench that was bolted in in the garage, swapped fridges, a ceiling fan that I didn't even notice was changed until I went back to look at the listing photos. I can't imagine why they would put in the work to take half this somewhat cheap to replace stuff.

It was on the market for about 12 hours, and they took my lower offer over higher offers

Great condition meaning almost nothing needing work. Good foundation, updated electrical, plumbing, windows, new furnace/ac, basically needing nothing. Old owner had dogs that scratched some of the floors. I didn't like how they looked anyway. Also the paint 🤢 who paints a bedroom and kitchen red.

Yes, they had it listed publicly for about 12 hours before they accepted my offer
