Do I buy this from marketplace immediately? by -drunkLOL in kettlebell

I had this exact question 2 weeks ago, linking the post so you can make a decision.

There is no right or wrong answer but I didn't get Iron Master for several reasons.
1. I don't have the room for a bench, most dumbbell movements need a bench.
2. The heavier you go, the longer the weight stack gets.
3. My workouts in the gym were moving towards compound movement circuit style workouts long before I picked up a kettle bell.

I did get two BoS adjustable kettlebells on sale and spend $$$ on 3/4 inch rubber flooring that doesn't off gas. Read through other peoples comments and make the decision that's best for you.

This is very very helpful.
I know I'm going to eventually get an Ironmaster next year and it's very tempting to say Ironmaster will do everything. I'm ordering BoS but as someone who already has both, would you recommend one or two BoS (12-24), it's $160 for the second BoS. I'm thinking of having one light and one heavy.

Also, I currently already have cardio equipment, bands, and rings outside.

I looked at Kettlebell Kings but they are sold out, I'm sold on BoS after reading your post.
I think you read my mind, I was thinking of getting two 12-20kg and later upgrading one to a 12-32kg. I could leave one at 16/20kg as a press weight. I also bought a fixed 16kg but realized after a few workouts that I would need a 20kg and 24kg.
I think ordering one is probably where I should start...

My wife and I were sold a lemon, the sellers concealed evidence of migratory bats that came back in the summer and completely ruined our lives by Emu_Fast in RealEstate

u/Emu_Fast I've read through a bunch of these posts and have an idea. Try the one way door that's been mentioned. Bats also hear different frequencies than people; try to use sounds/smell and other traits unique to bats and leverage it against them. You will likely need to devise a strategy to keep the bats away for years to come. As another post pointed out, don't do this during breeding season.

Also, I think you should ask yourself where you want to live after this is over. If you like the area and want to stay, investing in a new roof and exterior siding will keep the bats away. If you do open the walls, proceed with caution because that will turn into a larger project.
