it’s a tale as old as time. wife->kids->joco.
Probably so.  We’re going to try and stay in brookside area, but I’m doubtful.
My next door neighbor is 90+ and has advanced bone cancer and his wife is in nursing home. You can borrow my riding mower anytime you want, and in exchange all I ask is that you don’t call the HOA on me once a month like my neighbor has. Shawnee Mission South district.

But it, knock it down, yard extension, pool, hot tub, sauna.
not sure the ROI in SMS is there for all that

Homeowners (or people who live in homes) be sure to take precautions against frozen pipes (if you are in the Midwest)

Last winter, we had a water line freeze up. I was able to get in thawed before in burst but it scared the crap out of me.

What scheduled tasks do you do to your house monthly/quarterly/yearly that more people should do? I looked up a frequency schedule and put it on my to do list to remind me and every time it comes up I'm like I don't need to do that. crap like 'wipe down the walls', etc. eff that.
you heathens should be cleaning your gutters and downspouts twice a year

Not if you have gutter covers

gutters still need to be cleaned, maybe not twice a year with covers. ignoring them and relying on covers to do their job isn’t a good idea.

One advantage of having a ranch house is it's super easy to get up on the roof and clear the gutters. Climb up there with a leaf blower and VROOM VROOM for 5 minutes then crack a beer and sit up there enjoying the view while you have a crisp barley pop. It's one of my favorite "Chores".

I tried to self install some gutter covers I bought at Costco a couple of years ago but it didn't work so now I can continue to enjoy my time on the roof.  :cool:

roof drinking is vastly underrated
