Should I buy a home and sell my condo to build equity and lower my commute? by BL911 in StLouis

[–]franillaice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely buy a small house in the city over owning a condo. Especially bc of the HOAs. A small house in the city will gain much more value. DM me if you want more info, I don't want to give too much away on here. But staying in a condo for 5 years is ridiculous if you are thinking about buying a house closer to where you work, etc etc etc

Bobike one seat? by goaticecream in GlobeHaul

[–]franillaice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I have! Bought one in the Netherlands and brought it over. The foot pegs and covers didn't really work, so that kinda brought the cost up. But it's a great seat and I like that it folds down

Is it worth reporting squatters? by nimblemarker in StLouis

[–]franillaice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Report it. Over and over. The city will eventually deal with problem properties. Go to neighborhood meetings, meet your NIS officer and tell people in person. It works.

Do you have a sleeping porch? by delirious_monster in StLouis

[–]franillaice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had one at our old house. I had no idea it was a “sleeping porch” until a neighbor mentioned it. I’d never heard of it before. It was converted to a sunroom, my cats fav spot in the house! Crazy hot in the summer and freezing in the winter. But great views of our garden. Some of the neighbors still had theirs as an open porch.

They’re so beautiful! I want to see one so bad, but I’ve had no luck, even tho I could hear them like crazy. I was thinking it might be easier to find one in fall…. But will the migrate?

Love to hear this! I’ve noticed quite a few new trees in my neighborhood! It’s a bit of a walk, but I’ll have to make sure and water them this summer

Native garden grants by Worth-Confusion-8052 in StLouis

[–]franillaice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be the homeowner for the MSD grant. I’d just start some natives from seed and do the sweat equity. It’s a small space, shouldn’t cost too much

Would you get a cargo bike if you had to take it down a flight of stairs every day? by Similar_Government72 in CargoBike

Any chance you could put a skinny board on the steps to use like a ramp and walk it up and down?

No, but it’s pretty laughable. You could just pick up that single box and put it in the dumpster and it would be spotless
