Mine went up over 60%. When I called they said “we drove by and saw new siding, new windows, and solar panels, and we just assumed you did work on the inside too and based the estimate off of that”. Nice.

I’d play some good old fashioned Texas holdem.

I did it! It’s done! I made coffee and got a bunch done before doing anything else. Feels great, I can be guilt free and lazy all evening lol.

Todays wish list: Laundry, wash van, long dog walk, and 1-2 hours of work to get some stuff out of the way so Monday isn’t so harsh, then groceries and a nice home cooked dinner. Tall order. Wish me luck.

Nah, I got a car that was valued beyond the coverage offered by Turo for a total loss and for other reasons it just wouldn’t have made a good rental, so I stopped. Sold that in the fall, no more fancy cars.

Thanks! Pets are allowed, no extra fee :)

I have a cabin in the mountains SW of Charlottesville that I rent on Airbnb. It’s secluded on 75 acres and has a hot tub and fireplace and stuff. It’s perfect for a little getaway. If anyone here wants to book it I’ll waive the cleaning fee :) https://abnb.me/q6py24Txbwb

Have a good shift!

I’m in the same boat. In Canada, 16h drive home. Going to do it on Thursday. Drive safe!

Hey OP, you see that 61 yard kick today??

The median income of the city is $25k and the average home price is $330k. You’re right — but the problem is not the cost of living, it’s the shockingly low median income for a city in such a great location with so much to offer its inhabitants. I’m not saying that it shouldn’t be frustrating for native Richmonders — I understand how it would be. I’m just saying it’s not objectively expensive in an era where there are a lot of high-earning remotely working individuals who routinely relocate to lower cost of living areas.

Lol @ people downvoting you. $1mm is a reasonable home budget for a lot of people. Richmond isn’t “very expensive”, it’s just more expensive than it was like 5-10 years ago. Or more expensive than like, somewhere in rural Tennessee. I bought my house here for $230k — this is laughable to friends of mine who live in actual “very expensive” cities and have $5-8k per month mortgages. Richmond isn’t expensive, but it will be.

Yeah you’re good then.

Based on my experience, if you want to be there at noon, 4 is too late. 3 maybe. If noon is flexible 3 should be good, knowing that if things get bad you might be an hour or two late.

I have an awesome AirBnB in the mountains southwest of Charlottesville — it’s a cabin on 75 acres with a hot tub, wood fireplace, etc. If you guys decide to book it let me know and I can offer a discount. https://abnb.me/hxRw3oZDJub
