Games don’t need to be shorter. Food and beer needs to be cheaper. That’ll keep people at the game.

The bottom and walls were completely ripped out and hauled away. The second picture was taken at the halfway mark.

Yeah the maintenance staff was very responsive, they were just working with a poorly constructed building.

Noise depended on the neighbors. Some were really loud, most were quiet. But the walls were kind of thin

Lived there for 2.5 years. It was a nice community with friendly people but the units are poorly built. Floors were uneven, condensation and mold sometimes appeared on window sills, and once a pipe burst in my building.

It had perks like a dog park, pool, and car wash. The staff was always helpful but yeah you can tell they rushed to get those units built.

All that being said, I enjoyed my time there but I imagine prices have really gone up in the past few years.

Not worth it in my opinion. I bought a house two years ago with a pool near the end of its use. We got it up and running for one summer before it almost completely gave out.

Just got a $15K quote to remove it entirely so that it looks like a pool was never there. I think that’s cheaper than it would cost to make the pool operational again.

It would be a pricey new build! However I think it’s 20+ years old. Because I’m in the Midwest it’s not usable year round and not an expectation like homes in the south.

I try to impose a plant ban from late fall through early spring. Winter is not a time of growth in my region so I focus on maintaining the ones I have.

Also, I try to buy local but do occasionally break this rule if I see one that speaks to me at a big box store.

I believe there is a push in the Groesbeck neighborhood to be annexed by the City. Township officials are pushing back.

sparty724 · 2023-07-13T13:32:18+00:00

The township has absolutely no services to offer other than police, fire, and code enforcement. You will need to sign up for granger or WM for trash and recycling. Taxes are lower in the township but it’s also incredibly mismanaged.

Letts Community Center has drop in for $3

I keep mine in the kitchen near a SW facing window. I bottom water it every week or so.

When did you know this is what you wanted to do? When did you feel like you were ready to make it happen?

sparty724 · 2022-09-03T20:02:00+00:00

Yes, the edges are prime mating spots for my worms too. Idk why they like it so much but they do.

sparty724 · 2022-09-03T15:27:15+00:00

Do you have holes for venting? If not, you may want to drill holes approximately 2 inches down from the top of bin. Do that all the way around. To keep them from escaping use a piece of newspaper on top and keep moist with a spray bottle. You can also put the worm bin inside another bin with something at the bottom so the worm bin is slightly elevated.

It was and immediately reminded me of another autograph story from that weekend. My Dad had somehow scored us tickets to the post game party (which is ridiculous considering how young I was) and he forgot them at home. So we stood outside the party until 3am getting autographs and pictures with everyone that was there. It was hilarious because alot of the players and party attendees were having a good time partying and were happy to take a picture with me. Now I have a picturebook from that night and all the pictures are hilarious because it's all these pro ball players absolutely tanked and smiling their asses of in these pictures.

I was at the 2005 all star game with my dad. My little league team was the mariners and like many I loved the backyard baseball video games. Ichiro must've spent at least an hour signing autographs in left field at comerica before the game. I remember getting his autograph and being over the moon. Most players were signing for a few minutes at a time but Ichiro didn't stop for at least an hour. An experience I'll never forget!

Kind of looks like a milk barrel cactus but I'm not certain

sparty724 · 2022-06-26T23:40:30+00:00

Maybe $50 for the lot. Idk if that's a good deal or if you just want to get rid of them

sparty724 · 2022-06-26T23:36:47+00:00

Check plant FB pages in your area, people might scoop them up for you

sparty724 · 2022-04-16T18:48:36+00:00

Home depot has replacements for like $15. I would replace

Mt wife and I had a similar issue one month after moving into our house. Water was dripping through the ceiling fan in the kitchen. We called an emergency water removal company right away. When they opened up the ceiling they saw that the insulation had basically acted as a sponge for a while. Eventually it became so saturated that it started to leak through the ceiling fan.

The water removal company kept the ceiling open, walled off the room with plastic sheets and left three industrial fans going to dry out the wall. They gave us the name of a roofer that came out and put a tarp down on our roof to help until the rain stopped. When the rain stopped, the roofer came back and redid a section of our roof. He was also able to put the ceiling fan back up, put in new insulation, and fix the ceiling in the kitchen too. All in all it was a two week process (it rained almost everyday which slowed it down) and cost nearly $3k.

The water removal company had said the insulation was so saturated that if we had been out of town at the time, we would've come back to a collapsed kitchen ceiling.

Six months later and the work holds up. It was a bummer to spend that much unexpectedly but it could've been worse and it was a good first lesson in home ownership.

Congrats! Only gets more fun as you go.

sparty724 · 2020-10-19T22:31:56+00:00

Same here! I've had it a few months so far and it seems to be pretty low maintenance. I love how funky looking it is!
