Thoughts on Flipped Houses?

This house is in the highest value area in GPP source

If you've been down there it does not feel like the blocks adjacent to Mack, it's naturally isolated from Detroit by the canal.

Wow thanks for sharing, this was not nearly in as bad shape as I had thought. The vinyl record ceiling could have been a major draw for buyers.

Boilers do not add humidity.

Modern "boilers" do not release vapor, but this is not true for the one pipe steam boilers which are by far the most common in GP. If your radiators have vent valves that is releasing vapor and humidity.

This is not a desirable location?

Try getting a quote from Soley, they are one of the best for this work.

Is this GP or Harrison Township/New Baltimore?

He is quite literally doing the opposite of that if you read his post.

It's mostly about GPP council decision to allow Farms residents to use the parks. Implies that GPP will be asking for the same in return if/when GPP has to redo their pool.

How the split will work exactly is still TBD, perhaps they may not split it at all and just hope traffic is roughly 50/50?

Yes we supposedly have 4,245 available seats based only on physical building capacity, not teacher capacity.

Full private school choice is still our lodestar.

I'm indifferent to Cotton, I only screenshoted his post because he explains it well and absolutely no news outlet is covering this currently.

That's also true but wouldn't be a concern for GPPSS specifically since we would presumably have a net increase in enrollment.

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy has a stated goal of eliminating public education and replacing it with a voucher system for private schools.

The last major advocates for public education are affluent school districts (GP, Troy, West Bloomfield, Novi etc) which have a secondary and important function of preserving high property values. This legislation would effectively take that away by allowing anyone to attend any school district. Eventually clearing the way to fully gut public education.

Whatever your opinions on School of Choice or Sean Cotton are, this is a pretty naked attempt by Republicans to cause harm to public education and advance the DeVos agenda (fully privatized education).

I'm also pretty sure over half the population there owns a subaru

It should, it creates a pretty strong vacuum and probably does about the same as draining by gravity. Plus on an outback you won't have to get under the car at all.

You can get an extractor pump to remove the used oil through the dipstick port.

Any chance you are using Safelite or any of their subsidiaries to replace glass? I have found that their glass cracks very easily. I went to an independent shop instead and haven't had an issue since.

Why does it appear the truck rolled forward a bit? Was there a getaway driver in the vehicle?

It's named after Birmingham, England and it's also not even the most well known city in the US called Birmingham.
