    dear, juggs

    you would be very pleased with a home built to your liking. please consider my skills as your carpentor/construction leader. i've built treehouses, mowed lawns, waxed cars & i've erected more than five combat ready log forts.

    sincerely,
    chadwick

    we'd like one combat ready log fort please. concerned about the add-ons. how much would a walkout finished basement run us in one of those?
    you're asking a lot of a guy, sir!

    this is now a demand. make it happen.

    i know a guy (he's now in his late 70's early 80's) who was a fireman chief. this man back in the day built his own home & by hand dug the basement. sure he probably had some help from friends & his brother, but still, this is a extremely tough & determined man with a strong ass back.

    juggs... i think i'll call this guy for ya

    no this requires more than a phone call. i will need you to put on your sunday best (as if you and the kids were going to sears), hop in your horse and buggy, and arrive at this fellow's house in person....and then promptly demand that he build me a combat ready log fort with a finished basement.

    do this today before swimming your laps.

    now go, sir.

    Hopefully wherever you are, Mr. Juggs, you will have much better prospects!
    Prayin' to the house gods for you. :-)

    there are house gods too? i can't keep track anymore...
    Yeah where I live you have to sacrifice perfectly nice homes to the gods by demolishing them, and construct property line to property line monstrosities in homage... It's best if you make it at least 8 bedrooms (6 of which are to remain unused) and only live in it once or twice a year when you're visiting on business from Shanghai.

    That's what the housing gods like best :)

    yeah this place is actually much nicer than the one we walked away from back in april. so we're pretty psyched. only pissed that i missed out on a much lower rate back then but, hey, what can you do?

    My buddy in CA ended up with an $88,000 difference + a higher rate by waiting 6 months. Course the houses out there cost 2x what we can get them for here but that is still a huge difference.
    Glad you like this one better and there is no sinkhole in the backyard.

    you will not believe this, but the guy i work with who wanted me to buy his house to help speed up his divorce proceedings....stabbed his wife to death, in his house that he showed us, on thursday night. they have 2 kids who were in the house at the time, we're assuming. unreal story. i've sat next to him for 3 years. really nice, easy going guy.

    surreal experience at work yesterday. can't put into words how bad i feel for his twins.

    soooo........this trial finally begins next month. i just read that the prosecution is going to say that he took a knife combat training class a couple months before stabbing his wife. the article also said that the prosecution wants admissible a conversation he secretly recorded with her just a few hours prior to the murder.

    crazy shit...

    It keeps getting pushed back. Got an update yesterday though. He was pushing to have 1st degree charge thrown out but that was denied (He stabbed her 12 times, I think he knew what he was doing). Trial should start in the spring. Dude's looking at life in prison...

    First degree murder requires it to be planned, so even if he knew what he was doing it might still be second degree (or, who knows, even manslaughter but I didn't read back over the thread to see the details).

    No. It was the knife wielding guy who wanted me to purchase his house

    Last I heard of the sammich guy was that he was thinking of opening a hot dog restaurant or something

    Sandwich guy was my neighbor who got a job as a chef at my company's cafeteria. The guy who killed his wife was just a fellow co worker who I sat next to at work for a few years--incidentally he had the pleasure of eating some sandwiches my old neighbor made.
