my parents always use long fence in odenton, MD and they do great work. can't speak to prices

you have to understand that DC has really high taxes. both property and income tax are super high in DC

baltimore is nowhere near like that. of course do your homework beforehand, but it's not going to be as bad as DC

yes. my friend did it in the late 90s/early 2000's time period in Canton and it worked out well for them. they ended up moving once they had kids though because it was too small for the whole family. they definitely made money off of it in the end though

i think the issue is mostly location, and also luck in terms of the cost of repair. you can plan for some of that, but there are always going to be surprises

interesting, but i feel like it's incorporated too much trendy finishes into the work done on the interior. trends change and all of those severe tiles choices, over-the-top open plan, and quick-flip grey interior accents are going to date it terribly, and anyone looking in that price range is going to be critical of those choices

be very curious to see how close they come to the asking price

i've been meaning to visit Bob!

quit your yammering

lmao

Cat.

i lived without a car for five years here, and it's more or less okay if you are a strong bike rider. things aren't close enough to walk everywhere you will want to go, and public transit is only sporadically convenient, doesn't run very late and is more designed for commuting than getting around town

in terms of safety, just use the same advice as you would for any city; don't walk around by yourself late at night and avoid closed off areas with no people. don't go to unfamiliar areas before understanding them and the neighborhoods

do some research about what you want to live close to most and find an area to look for a place that is close by. if you want to know more about that neighborhood, ask here

i can confirm this. there's one across the street from me, and the police definitely know about and do nothing. i've watched them pull multiple bodies out of there since i have been wfh. honestly, i feel kinda like there is no hope to stop any of this

yeah it's totally fine. it will just draw less current nbd

also i admire your decision to remove the boobs. i have two in my apt and i would replace them if i wasn't renting

thanks. i will check this out. they have air hockey i'm so sold lol

lol. basically. idk there's tons of recipes online. this one looks good: https://www.aforkstale.com/port-wine-cheese-ball-recipe/

yeah i love that stuff. my aunt used to make that and bring it to thanksgiving every year. it's actually pretty easy to make

i feel like those books were great when i was in middle school, but i can't do it anymore. yes, i think you were too late to that particular party

interesting you liked the movie, i thought is was kind of horrible

another point about Adams is that he was an old BBC radio/TV writer. he wrote for dr. who in the 70s and was invovled with the most popular run of that era. so it's really that he's part of a larger group of creatives that were coming from a particular place that doesn't exist anymore. it's no wonder that people of more recent generations aren't immediately drawn to it when you are divorced from the context

this of course can start a whole conversation about art's context and it's ability to communicate something outside of their original context and so on, but i think there's good points to be made on either side of that argument. HHGTG just kind of is-what-it-is and it's really hard to view it in a vacuum

looks rough!

i suppose it all depends on what is scratched lol

sounds expensive
