AZ BS Thread 4²0

Was it up to the contractor to do the survey and find the property line? With us it is "build line set by buyer".

Hopefully your install comes up soon before the ground gets anymore frozen.

 

hahaha really? Thats interesting. never knew that.

 

I do not usually collect trivia. There is a big book called "An Incomplete Education" that covers all topics (psychology, religions, world politics, math, physics, literature, etc) in brief that one may not have studied when they spent years studying a single are in college (or not at all). They like to include small asides like this so it is not just dry facts. For example, some do not know Newton attended college on scholarship ... not family money. And Charles Dickens spent childhood years in a British "work house" gluing labels on bottles.

 

What’s the area in chandler around ALMA SCHOOL and ELLIOT like?

I been down that way for a soccer game at a local pub but that was about it

 

It's fine. Typical Suburbia. DT Chandler got a nice overhaul over the last 5 or so years, so plenty of people in and around the overflow areas.

 

thanks man. I found a place out in gold canyon I’d love but man that drive would get old quickly. Chandler would be more reasonable

 

I learned flames look really cool through a welding hood
If not a little off-putting to see mid bead

 

For my money, Alma School/Elliot is good. DT Chandler going north from Chandler to Ray is stop-and-go slow-drive trendy ... bars, restaurants, etc. all busy on any given evening. Elliot is either retail/commercial business (I-10 through 101) getting residential after that then businesses again as it reaches 87 (Arizona Ave), but open/new or rebuilding.

You can assail me if you want for this, but ... Chandler Blvd gets older residential and less business between Dobson out to Arizona Ave and not where I would buy. Take aim if you want ...

 

Ooh, whatcha making and can I have one?

 

Making my truck less of an electrical fire hazard
I totally could if you need a fuse mount plate and have space in that same spot, available space there varies a lot between trucks tho

 

We're in that rough area, it's fine. We're deep enough in from the main roads to have a pretty serious lack of noise. Until the high school PA fires up for whatever sport is currently in season. No HOA which is nice. There are some turds in the neighborhood that don't take care of their property. But the average homeowner seems classy enough.

 

I grew up in that area and know it well. What's up?

 

there’s a house for sale on the south west corner of that cross street in
Eyeing. Looks decent enough, smaller, but this market is crazy and I expect it to
Get worse…. Not south Scottsdale how I’d prefer but it’s still central to the metro

near fibber mcgees. I’ve been to that bar once. Not bad

 

My nephew got married last year ... I had not met her before because I have been in AZ since January 2021 and they were back east. I asked if he thought it proper to buy her a

$100 NOCO GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Jump Starter Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 6.0L Gasoline and 3.0L Diesel Engines

NOCO GB40 to keep her safer. He said he greatly appreciated the gesture and the thought. It will arrive at a HomeDepot near their house in a couple of days.

As an aside I also offered to buy him one if they had a second car, but they only have one vehicle.

 

1. Fuck Scottsdale.
2. That's a decent part of town. Nothing to be serious concerned
3. Fuck Scottsdale..

 

yeah I liked where I was at. Scottsdale and McDowell. Everything was close by and I had a 4 minute commute to work.

the cost of the 85257 zip code is insane at this point.

a dump in north Tempe above the 202 is way more expensive than a nice cozy turn key home 10 miles south.

 

Everything here is so fucking expensive now.

 

yeah but I’ll still go back to AZ and be broke than continue suffering in the north east ugh

 

I got these custom ornaments earlier this year from this guy @Yacob_D.. I think they look good on the tree.

 

Looking back at some video from CK
Its just a compilation of my truck spinning tires on little dirt hills
