FYI for anyone interested, Hancock Whitney apparently gutted their construction program so that was a no go. Can only be a fixed cost build, low loan limits and other new restrictions. They actually suggested Home Bank...

Randomly saw a 30x50 existing pole barn for sale on FB. Been looking at getting one so curious if this would be worth considering as it’s in pretty good shape. Probably $50k to get a new one with pad. If I buy the existing one… Cost to buy - $10k Cost to move - $10k??? (Would hire someone for ...

Trying to figure out what all I need to buy and could use some help. I have 3 young kids and just looking to buy one switch that we connect to the tv. I would like to have enough remotes for all 3 kids + myself to play games like Mario Kart. My current plan is to buy an OLED switch for $350 and ...

[quote]We also noticed a huge jump in the amount of wildlife that we saw. The flowers and seeds attract little critters which in turn attract predators.[/quote] That’s interesting. The area I was thinking about doing this is about 100 yards from my back patio. So maybe this is not what I want t...

Pretty sure we talked to the same lender at Hancock/Whitney. I was leaning towards the Jumbo loan myself but am trying to research it more. They way I understood it was: 2.625% interest for 10 years, amortized over 30. At 10 years it could balloon up to 2.75% higher so would likely need to re...

[quote]Kids are in private school, doesn’t apply to me but with 2 parents working, finding childcare for 2 weeks at a time sounds pretty hard when there are plenty of camps available for a summer[/quote] If this was done district wide then I have no doubt that plenty summer camp options would shi...

Like a lot of people, I lost 2 large pine trees yesterday. They are probably 70+ years old and straight as can be. Is is worthwhile to get a sawmill to come cut lumber out of this? I am building a house in the next 6-12 months, so primarily I was curious if it was practical at all to use some of...

[quote]clean it up in the winter and you won’t get chiggers[/quote] There is just no way for me to clean this whole area and keep it up. I can remove some of the downed trees and make paths, but there will still be a constant thick layer of pine straw. ...

Since we are now 3+ trillion in debt just from Covid, I wonder major milestones we could accomplish with that amount of money. We could probably invest to get all Americans in driverless cars in a few years, savings 40k lives a year in auto deaths, eliminating DWI’s, reducing car insurance. ...
