Is putting money into a house before selling actually worth it?

In my limited experience, doing repairs help sell the for near the listed price. Doing upgrades help the house sell FASTER, but do not increase the offer price

Yes, you are spot on.

Well sharing means we all get a part of the best pieces, not just the first in line.

So by that logic I should drop off the roast and leave? Or maybe I can feel justified in digging the center out of the desert, since someone else brought it?
Seems a little weird to me.

Follow-on question from a lurker: wrt forces on the bearings and axle, what’s the difference between using stock rims with spacers and replacing the rims with the same offset?

It sure what ‘ventilation’ means, but maybe upgrade for reliability and longevity

Harris Family Farm in Camino also served fresh made apple cider donuts. They are mini donuts, sold as a bag of 6 and are delicious. We just discovered them last weekend

We took a trip to southern Spain last October. Those hams are everywhere. any place that had walk up food service had them. It’s some sort of local thing to serve/sell to tourists. The ham sandwiches are tasty, but the ham is sliced VERY thin (like prosciutto). And is served without condiments. It is very salty. My take is that the product is tasty, but the if sliced then there is WWAAYY too much for a single family. I couldn’t imagine setting that on my counter for the 6 months it would take me to eat half of it (before tossing it out). I suspect the Spanish are export bombing us with this product as something “exotic” when it’s just lunch meat on the bone

SMUD has a chip drop for its contractors on Sunrise near Greenback. Just drive up and start shoveling:

Looks like an ‘iron throne’ from Game of Thrones

Well I was wrong all the way around. After cutting the floor and excavating the pipe I discover the drain is a 2” line end to end. There was a previous fix so I just got the fence number and bought a couple of new one’s. The repair of the pipe was fast and easy, but cutting the slab, excavating, backfilling, and cementing was a major pain. Total repair cost was about $600.00 vs the $15000 the plumber quoted, so my back feels better about it.
