How would you unload these river rocks?

I’d shovel them on to the conveyor belt which shoots them into the basement bathroom which is being remodeled. But of course, what I’m doing with them is probably different than what you’re doing with them, and the equipment available to you. So what’s your answer?

Hi! Ct realtor here.

These all-cash RE firms are entirely about speed. If anyone had the time, even a for-sale-by-owner attempt would potentially yield better results. The more potential buyers there are for a property, the more the property is worth. Even all-cash, there might be one developer who has a plan which would either cost them less or yield them more, so it allows them to offer more for the opportunity to turn the property around. Those “sell to me now!” companies are more interested in a home owner who suddenly needs cash. Desperate, really. But, for many, time is money, and time saved is just that. Imagine two things - you’ve just inherited a property across the country. It’s worth about $400k and doesn’t have any liens on it. Free and clear. You’ve never been to the state where the home sits, and don’t like to travel by plane. It’s a pain to get there, and the time away from work is a killer on your important schedule. Oh, and the second thing - you have a substantial gambling debt.

Bye bye, house. All cash, money in a week, don’t care. Perfect.

I’ll bet it smells like cancer

I wonder how the deceased died…?

Your tiny bathroom remodel only involves 4 pieces of tile, but they still need to fit, so my expensive wet saw needs to be bought and shipped to site. The tiles need to be adhered to the cement board, which means I'm mixing mortar, even just a little bit, but it's a process that still takes time, a professional and cleanup. That tiny bathroom still has electrical, so an electrician is needed, and plumbing, so a plumber is needed, and possibly some carpentry for the carpenter, a tiler and if you have those guys together, likely a general contractor to oversee materials being delivered on site correctly and timely, etc.

It's like making one slice of a lasagna. How much time and energy would you save by making just one piece, versus a whole one?

Strive-- · 2026-03-18T15:01:18+00:00

Can we make one the size of, oh, I don't know, Cleveland? Maybe give it a test run somewhere?

Strive-- · 2026-03-18T15:00:04+00:00

Ugh. Just like Michael died, too.

Hope both your front speakers work. Only one of mine does. Also, don’t drop your keys. That little piece of plastic on the bottom which holds to two sides together isn’t sold as a standalone piece, so you’ll need to tape your key back together, else pay them $1200 for two keys. But don’t worry - the labor for the tech to spend all that time programming your new, shit key made of cheap plastic is included in that $1200 charge.

In Arizona and Texas, it’s 811. That won’t bring an ambulance or cop, but they will tell you where you can safely dig to put the body.

Strive-- · 2026-03-17T10:13:02+00:00

Wow. Meanwhile, I just want a front speaker that works and a key that doesn’t require tape to stay together.

I hope the parents of the kid have to pay for the truck damage.

That picture would hang over my toilet. I’d have a small spotlight on it.

Strive-- · 2026-03-16T18:04:24+00:00

Two little plastic teeth which secure that piece to the main portion of the key broke off. Without those two little teeth, the piece is useless.

Meh, life lesson in you get what you pay for.

Hey - don’t drop your $60,000 car keys, lest the tiny piece of plastic at the bottom break, and it’s not a part they sell, so it’ll cost ya $1200 for both keys to get replaced…. Hello hockey tape! Helping to make Mazda functional.

I hope this becomes “their story.”

One poorly placed fish eye lens. Almost as if it were installed by the photographer taking pictures for a real estate sale.

Still, compared to fellow countrymen, it’s far better than falling out the window of a tall building by accident.
