New England B.S. Thread

Those are some pretty nice wheels and they cheap. I like em. Only thing is its 70 to ship them and you cant use the factory lug nuts. Need to buy different ones. How do you know they will fit. I know they say 16x8 but doesnt give backspacing.

 

Mine when they were new and shiney.

 

The Airport is finally buying my house.
I meet with the relocation specialist next week!!

 

Did you get a good deal? Are you staying in Vermont

 

Nothing for shipping. Their warehouse is in CT and you can pick them up if you order over the phone. IDC about lug nuts I will by some gorilla lugs and they will fit because I put in year and model of the truck. Backspacing isn't a concern with spacers.

 

Yeah its a pretty darn good deal.
They targeted 155 properties / around 15 acres to make improvements.
I bought mine in Dec 2006 & found out in Nov 2007 it was in their zone so I have been waiting patiently ....
Luckily the market in my area has not bombed at all increased somewhat so they comp it based on that.
Also I'm not house poor & have a good amount of equity.
Neighbors have given me good tips on what to do in the process.
I do not know where I am going yet but have no strings & they pay to relocate you.
I may just take their $$ & run to the mtns.

 

Cool well good for you and good luck

 

Congrats Judy! I hope you find a new home quickly

 

Thank you yeah I never imagined this so just trying to go with the flow.
I really liked my house until everything around me started becoming a ghost town.

 

Thanks Mike!!

 

Congrats Judy. Was that the house that's in the snowmobile video that you posted a while ago? If so that was a nice home. I thought almost everywhere in VT was in the mountains...

BTW anybody gets my name for the x-mas swap please get me a go-pro cam. I want to record some snowmobile riding this year! LOL

 

You mean the $20 gift swap?

 

Ok thats a deal as long as you get me sliders and a new head unit with speakers and of course a headlight retro kit.

 

Yea, I can get you one for $20, but it probably won't work well

 

Thanks Rob!
No that house we rent. I would love to own that!
This is the house they are buying to tear down minus the snow of course.


I have a gp2 I am willing to sell cheap, I got it last year when whipper went to Sema. I think I used only 3x. It would make an awesome exchange gift though

 

Yes that one!

 

Nice house there! I'm sure that area will see snow this year!!! See guys Judy's got the Gopro. Now just talk her down to $20 and were all set.

How much do you want for it Judy?

 

thanks I'm hoping for snow for sure.
I would sell the cam for $150 shipped there is nothing wrong with it.
Its the motorsports edition & has some mounting stickies as well & the original packaging.
Get those guys together & chip in!

 

Hey Easterners pardon the intrusion from the west here but I have a question for any of you electrician's. I have a co worker that lives in NY and was affected by Sandy but in a strange way. Certain parts of her house do not have power (including the oil burner) but other parts do. She has had someone look at it with basic electrical skills and there is nothing wrong with her breaker box. Is it typical in older homes (this one built in1969) to have dual lines coming in from their power supplier or is there a different issue here? 5 or 6 neighbors around her have similar issues.

It is strange to me as here in the west there is just one source of power coming in to our houses. Just didn't know if this was possibly regional thing.

Thanks for the help!

 

I had a similar issue at my house once. I had to take the panel cover off to get to both legs coming in. I only had one which left some parts of the house dead. I broke the seal on the meter opened the cover to find a bypass handle. Flip the handle to power house without meter and removed the meter to find a loose corroded connection cleaned and tightened put the meter back in threw the handle back issue solved
