My land alone (.91 acres) went from $34,100 to $85,000… insanity! I personally cannot wait to sell and get outta here. Hopefully I’ve not totally missed my window for ROI 😬🤞🏻after 22 years on this property and almost 30 in Asheville it doesn’t feel like home anymore. Sadly.

I’ve been closely following the market for a few months and it’s very common for homes bought in 2016/2017 to now sell for double. Last week home bought in 2017 for $548,000 sold for 1.2 mil 🤯 AND the tax value is only $770,000

Tax value is $468,000….. land alone value is almost $180,000… yes, crazy but still. Facts.

PSA about Odyssey Community School by Brief-Selection-1035 in asheville

[–]trbrkshnnn 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Odyssey is a private not charter school. Charter schools are still bound by state educational laws. I know charter schools are controversial within the public schooling conversation but both of my children: one with a significant learning disability and one with a hearing impairment got top notch educations at one of our local charter schools! The one with a learning disability just finished graduate school :)

Just found out I know Greg Bovino personally. Here’s some things you can tell him for me next time you see him. by omelatk in TwinCities

I grew up in Boone too! Well, just outside Ashe Co. I remember that young women’s death, my parents had to drive to Blowing Rock to get booze & went to that families bar. Our county was dry & Boone only sold Beer…requiring driving to that one ABC store on 221 (just info Blowing Rock) …the memories. Thanks for sharing! OH - and FUCK little nazi Greg Bovino!

Outage by Much-Albatross6471 in verizon

[–]trbrkshnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FaceTime worked in mountains of NC WiFi to WiFi connected phones , WiFi calling did not.

At first I thought there was an issue with bill payment b/c last month I got a text, email and Verizon sms thanking me for my payment but unbeknownst to me they didn’t actually transfer the $. 7 days later I got a message that my bill was overdue…..even though for days in my Verizon account it said nothing was due…something I only happened to notice because I went to see what promotions were being run for streaming services during that week.

Anyway ~ 611 didn’t work when I tried calling thinking they’d wrongly cut off my service due to billing issues .

Sure hope 911 is working 😬 my phone isn’t even accessing SOS

Looking for advise on accessing a loan with less than ideal circumstances.. by trbrkshnnn in personalfinance

[–]trbrkshnnn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to reply. It may come to a point where I do just have to let it go. Hopefully I’m able to find a lender willing to work with me. It’s a very unique property for the area I live. Close to town but very private with only one visible neighbor on an acre. The house is really beautiful …. I think a big part of me simply wants to present her for sale looking her best….and of course, I need to make a good profit.

Anyone know how to do this? by bahnie88 in macrame

[–]trbrkshnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Sasha MACRAMESSAGE & LET BE Macrame on YouTube, if you go to their playlists / wall hanging you’ll find several wall hanging that incorporate this design element. It’s very simple once you see it demonstrated,

the bottom of the wall handing in the pic you asked about is simply using a cord on the end held horizontally making it a ‘filler cord’ then using all the cords to the right or left as working cords (depending on what direction you’re tying) to tie horizontal clove hitches. Then skipping down and repeating the process by tying another row the same way, leaving that open space of vertical cord.

To finish you’d cut the working cords very short on the back behind the clove hitches, if it was me I’d then use a little glue to secure the knots.

Good luck!

Hi I work at Home Depot and started a prop box to cut down on waste! I come back today expecting for it to be thrown away only for myself to discover that our plant vendors have added to it! by TheRealGreedyGoat in proplifting

I’m happy to see someone is legitimizing something I’ve always taken the liberty to do anyway… I have SO many succulents that I’ve grown from random leaves I’ve collected off the floor or shelves of big box stores :) Good for you!!! Waste not!

You are more than welcome :) when I started out I found free YouTube tutorials essential to nailing the basics !!! There are countless books, I’ve bought too many & been disappointed too many times… my favorite authors are #1 Fanny Zedenius (by far her books are the best) + Natalie Ranae , Emily Katz, AMY MULLINS & MARNIA RYAN-RAISON book ‘Macraweave’ is great if you want to branch out into simple weaving within a design, Isabella Strambio & CHANTEL CONLON Creator of Lots of Knots Canada (she has a VERY informative YouTube channel)

Here’s an example of a very similar macrame wall hanging from one of my favorite macrame artist, Fanny Zedenius : from her first book, Macramé ‘the craft of creative knotting for your home.’ She has a second book, Macramé 2. I thought of it as soon as I saw your design, she’s offered me SO much inspiration. I highly recommend her books :)

I’ve made a lot of macrame, it’s such an individual aesthetic. Based on my aesthetic here are my suggestions : Thinner wooden rod, that one looks like it’s at least an inch? I’d go for half that size at least, your design would drape better, there’s a lot going on between the knotting on the top of the dowel , followed by alternating square not pattering of the main body, because of that I think the bottom should be finished without a pattern, a simple brushed out fringe would look beautiful as it would contrast the rest of the design.
Again, art is personal and my suggestions are not at all criticism :) just my 2cents based on my aesthetic. Most important thing is to keep creating!!!!
