I think I bit part the the decline in popularity of spring skiing is fat skis. 20 years ago, a lot of people couldn't ski pow so spring conditions were as good as it gets. But ultimately I think it...

Not sure why in needs to be a secret. Next Sunday the 22nd is the closing day. I enjoyed myself this afternoon also. That't gotta be about the most mellow place on the planet. #Keep Winter Park...

The better the freeze, the better the skiing. Right now it is 20deg. at my house, so that is a good start. I'll see if I can get a first hand report today. There is plenty of snow, its all about...

Most cargo trailers are really noisy in the wind with the thin aluminum walls. The ghetto version of that jumping jack (of which there are a few versions) is a RTT on a utility trailer. A slide in...

Here in Grand County, Wendy's starts at $18 for unlimited hours. I'm pretty out of touch with the service side of the economy with one exception. One of my best friends in maintenance manager for a...

I don't have any statistics to quote, but I think "most" is a fair answer to both questions.

New builds either look like custom homes which really start at $1.5mill and go to the moon from there...

Fraser/Founders is such a piece of shit! They couldn't even frame the hallways straight with steel studs. But yeah, architectural complexity costs money. Its an apartment building. I believe it is...

More than anything, I hate the bullshit. Next up, protection of the Boreal Toad. Its almost like they'd rather...

What did I learn?

Camping means different things to different people

You can buy the "Yeti of plastic totes" for $275

There is probably a pretty good market for a Camping Coach

You could...

Don't forget the sublimation!

Peaches, an addition isn't a remodel. When you say, "Realtor friends" marinate on that for a while. From what I've seen in that industry, "easy to sell" is what they are really trying to say. They...

Were you smart or lucky? What was the per sq.ft build cost? What year? What was the per sq. ft. sales price? What year?

Peaches....everyone wants rules of thumb. There are none. Is residential real estate, we've been confusing smart with lucky for a long time. If you sell into a hot market and the buyer likes your...

Can someone give me a suggestion for a campsite somewhere pretty far outside of town with no cell service? I'm trying to be respectful and not create a ruckus for when you need to "hop on a call". ...

If I didn't know better I'd almost thing ya'll were taking me seriously. You can call it whatever the fuck you want. Good to know you found something to get bent about today.

I would say $400-600sq. ft. it probably the median build cost for that size of home with modest design and finishes. The problem with rebuilding after a wildfire is that the demand becomes so high,...

You and Danno both...It's not quite as bad a A Bay but its close. Call it whatever you want but its more or less just called The Jane as is "ski The Jane", "Park at The Jane" ,"Jane Base", "Jane...

I was gonna go on about now you don't need that and tell you what I wear, but instead here is a link to a softshell vest the the desired features...maybe

I think that some people need to understand to give compassion. One of my least favorite expressions is, "I know now you feel". The fuck you do! Half the time I don't even know how I feel.

I'm of the belief that it is more about what works for you versus good skis and bad skis. What I like is a moderate side cut and low rocker with a more traditional mount point. This is the Q...

Oh, I've seen shit roughed in wrong all the time for various reasons but never just to make their job easier. In residential construction, the final design for bathroom fixtures is usually not on...

Oh, and I've never seen a plumber arbitrarily change the locations of a shitter in 25+ years of doing this. There are shitbags that are bad at their jobs everywhere. Quit with the bullshit...

Sounds like Schuss's Dad hired some hacks!

I think I should be excited that nobody wants to do my job. I'm not sure why. I only know what I know but I see a bunch of smart, happy, well paid...

The Jane is still skiing really well. The bumps are getting smaller and smaller. There is nobody around. Sounds like we will be open to 5/22 and maybe the weekend after. Git sum.

I used to live downvalley but then the upvalley cunts came at me! I think it is just about the same everywhere. Honestly, I think downvalley attitude is sometimes worse. "We want to be 20 minutes...

Winners and losers. 20 or 30somethings that managed to scratch together a downpayment 15 years ago were able to get on the real estate train. Being 20 or 30something now, not so much. Around here,...

Unfortunately, yes. That said, the jamgrass scene seems to have an amazing lack of diversity even within the white folk. I'm guessing they'll be an abundance of faux plaid adventure shirts. ...

Do you think it will be mostly middle aged white people there?

I spend quite a bit of time in The Swell getting lost on my dirtbike. It does seem like where GOTOS and Vanlife dreams go to die, or at least get fabricated for the web. Last fall I was out there...

Yeah, doesn't count. That's just a pickup truck.

I think what people are getting as is that many cash offers are using some type of bridge financing but are ultimately mortgaging these properties. From the standpoint of the mortgage transaction,...

Correct me if I am wrong. If at any point, a residential property is financed by by conventional mortgage sold into the secondary market with an agency wrapper, there will be an appraisal. That...

That pretty low skill with the sprayer but I'm sure they are gonna but the masking and roll out the white sections. Pretty standard production painting move...or I'm missing something.

Yeah, its crazy. Marvin's are 8months I'm told. And its normal to not get all your windows these days. A project I just finished on is all the way though cabinets, trim and tile and there are a...

Well we got a bit of a head start on dirties so we should be good!

Ha. They probably are short term renters as long as their is room in the driveway for the Sprinter. So they get a permit like the twig pigs ask for everyone else and don't trash the forest? Got it.

Holy shit. I've heard a bit about this https://coloradosun.com/2022/04/01/rainbow-gathering-colorad-grand-county-arapaho/ but I'm not much of an internet sleuth. I'm not sure how it will go bad but...

Well if talking about is the first step, we could win a hopscotch contest

I think that fundamentally places like Gunnision/CB or Steamboat/Routt are different that Summit or Grand. Or maybe not? Will we always rely on the Front Range for services not provided locally or...

I'll give you the mushroom stamp but only if you have a healthy appetite for sarcasm and laughing at yourself.

Yeah, you can just slide them in under the piece perpendicular when a low spot manifests. You can make a nice taper by stacking them together in incremental sizes and them taping them together.

Kevo, thats mostly how the securitization process works. What I'm unsure about is how the agencies set the bid for the mortgages. It is a competitive bid process or do they set a rate and basically...

Flooring products have unrealistic site condition specs. Level Quick RS is a shitty product. Each Brand of LVP is different regarding how they handle highs and lows. Really the most important...

Berate you about what? I ski all the time. "Thanks Foggy" becomes butt hurt pretty quick. Swinging at Pinatas that aint't there bro. It takes a special kinda somebody to come asking how to do it,...

Do tell. I know little. How are the conforming mortgages funded? I mean who and whatever ends up portfolioing them has to finance themselves somehow right?

Not even a reach around?

Make sure you post pictures when you are done.

OK, I thought the person needing to take a look was an engineer. Maybe not.

I've been outta the game way too long to really know what's going on but its the internet so here we go....we always talk about the spread to the 10yr but as Kevo alluded, its a managed rate. If the...

Aware of what? Are you going to that site visit? How much 'ya gonna charge? What's the customer gonna get for a deliverable? Would a contractor be negligent by handling this without an architect or...
