All of our mail boxes are on a neighbors property. Mail only services one side of the street in our area so the driver can just make a loop. So all mail boxes get installed on the edge of the ditch on the east side of our street.

Nor brake cleaner. That's plan B when I run out of wasp spray at work.

How are the outlets wired??? Quite often on modular and manufactured homes, they use a push in connection on the back of the outlets instead of looping the wire around the screw terminals on the side of the outlet. Those push in connections tend to get hinky after a while.

What I see is a machine that sat out on the lot for a while collecting dust. They should have washed it before delivering it. The air filter cover being off kilter is a nothing burger. Im glad they checked to make sure an air filter was installed [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Here's my reference [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Looks like the pup has morphed from the super cute and cuddly stage to the velociraptor stage [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

There is a made in USA store near me that sells Amish preserves. We discovered their peach salsa and pineapple salsa and got hooked on them [emoji108][emoji108][emoji108] They are great with a taco salad. The other thing we buy from there is the sweet pickle relish. It's more chunk with...

We always have kept a plastic kiddy pool filled up with fresh water for the pooch in summer. They've lasted 3 to 4 years before we've needed to replace it. At $12 each, I figured we got our money's worth out of them.

I was wondering what you were talking about for a minute. Your post was innocent but could have been naughty at the same time [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787]

We've used an invisible fence to supplement the fence for the back yard. I spent a weekend getting all the questionable spots in the fence locked down to keep our Jack Russell Terrorist in the yard. All week I was proud of myself since he was in the yard each night when I got home from work...

He had plenty of room off to his right to park.

I seen someone do that with one of the extra large uhaul box trucks at a gas station. They cut the corner to short and got the bollard wedged into the sheet metal in front of the rear tires. They tried pulling out from it and just wedged it in tighter. All he had to do was crank the front...

Not really hauling badly, but why would you try to take a trailer through a drive through. Guy cleared by about 4", and then the tires and fender missed the side of the building by about a 1/2".

Last night I got the howl, then the yips, then the bark.... followed by me finally sitting up and putting the foot rest down on the recliner leaning forward. I said "What!!!!!!!!!" She proceeded to dance around for a few, grabbed her ball for something to chew on, and then backed the booty up...

Most local FM stations will start broadcasting weather alerts as well.

We were getting alerts for storms passing 30 miles away. And yes, your right. Every storm was severe, flooding, high winds, etc..... .. We weren't getting any rest.

We followed advice and got a weather radio for our home. Set it up for our direct area. That sucker would go off all the bloody time. Took it back and had it triple checked to make sure it was set up for my direct area. Bloody thing would go off all the time. Thunder storm warnings, Ariel...

Thats a Commifornia thing. Someone would get shot here in Arkansas if they came out and tried to put a meter on someone's well.

Before covid. Those were selling all day long locally for $100k or under.

We've had to replace one ecoboost engine in one of the shops f150's. Got it shipped in from another location, so I don't know the history. When we got it in, the transmission had some issues, and the engine was dusted. So I just sent it over to Ford and billed the other location for the engine...

Torrential rain event that leaves washed out gully's.

I'm on city water but not city sewer. So I just get billed for water usage. Same with my last house out in this area. My house because we had a washer and dryer, the water bill ranged from $25 to $40. Average was around $35 a month. Since we've been on the property in a camper, we've only...

It was pouring really really good out there!!! [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Im pretty sure my pooch is being a little passive aggressive about the neighbors dog [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23] If their dog bum rushes us, you can pretty much guarantee she's gonna poop smack dab in the middle of their driveway the next time we walk by...

Please sir!!!! May I have another!!!!

About a 1/2 hour before sunrise this morning.

My dog has started pooping dead center on the new neighbors driveway where it meets the street. [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] We've been blaming it on their dog [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23]

Wicked pisser means it's pouring in Maine

I know that... but you said you rarely saw any. That's why I replied that I know a few areas in florida where there are thousands and easily seen.

I run non ethanol gas in all my small gas engines. I haven't had to treat them with any stabil, or other fuel treatments. Just dump the gas in and go. My mixed gas for my chainsaw was 4yrs old before I finished it off [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] My generator gets started...

Any time I've recently gotten poison ivy, I usually rub the spots down with Benidryl Creme.

I could take you too a few places in Florida where you can see hundreds/ thousands of gators. There are a few nature preserves designed for flood control and storm surge. Those places are absolutely loaded with them. Heck, I've seen a couple alligators here in Arkansas. None near where I...

I encountered a possibly rabid fox a couple years ago. It was in the road, spitting, and spinning in circles. I called the customer I had just left (rock quarry) and warned them about it since it was heading kinda towards the quarry. Also called 911 and reported it so they could pass it on...

Installed a 125ft x 110ft dog run in a shaded area in our front yard today. Used the Massey to stretch the wire for it. Sandwiching the wire between two 2x6's and a tow strap sure beats fighting with a bar and a come-along [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji41] After we finished the little...

I walked out of the house Thursday morning around 10am. There was a Momma and two fawns hanging out by the edge of our property. Couldn't get my camera opened in time to get a photo before they scooted down the property and put of site.

I've run nothing but ethanol free gas in my zero turn since I've owned it. The only time it's had ethanol gas in it was the couple gallons the dealer put in it to test it out and run it through the paces when I purchased it and they put it together. I've had it for almost 8 years now. I put...

We had a double recently where both rainbows were super clear. It changed location as we traveled home. At one point it was ending about where our property was. But as we got closer to home it ran away [emoji53][emoji53][emoji53][emoji53] Years ago in Vermont, my coworker and I were heading...

Neighbor did that once as well [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787] I spent a weekend aligning my deck, got everything perfect, and then when I tested it out, the bloody thing would mow crooked again. (Thought my son had hit something with it) Back to the garage, and realigned...

I have no idea [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] I scooped it up and relocated it to the neighbors ditch across the street which had very shallow banks and led into a wooded area. Last I saw of him, he was plodding along towards the woods.

My shepherd is that way with her ball. She will get demanding, laying in front of me crying, then the high pitched yips. I'll finally look at her and ask "What do you want????" She will jump up, search for her ball, pick it up and start chewing on it..... at the same time she backs her booty...

Thats quality Chinese crap, not the usual Chinese junk [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23]

We got tons of them around here. You gotta watch it, since they are crossing roads and highways at the moment. From the little itty bitty mini me's up to the larger ones. I used to spend quite a bit of time relocating them when we had our weiney dog. If they were small enough, he would...

Hmmm..... I didn't see it's head retract into the shell. It had it's mouth open, and a little saliva came out when it hissed a second time [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Rabbits will screech as well when being attacked. It will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. I never realized, but box turtles will hiss. My weiney dog had dragged a box turtle through the doggy door. But apparently the turtle had enough and fought back. I went out onto our...

They are extremely vocal and have a decent vocabulary of sounds they make. I wasn't sure what I was hearing at first. But a day or so after we moved out to the property, I had one kick off sounding like a chimpanzee. My dog and I disturbed it's hunt and we were being told off...

Maybe...... [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

I had that happen 1.5 years ago while clearing a building spot on my property [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] I had a mini panic attack and then yelled to my wife to bring me her tweezers. That's a blow to the old ego when your down there with a pair of tweezers...

A fire ant is a touch bigger then a sugar ant, but they will bite the snot out of you.

I heard owls all the time going outside after dark in Vermont. I just didn't realize that was what I was hearing. Your average person just assumes they make a "Who Who.... Who who...." sound. The Barred owls make that sound, plus a "Whooooaaaa!!!" Sound. And when I tick them off by...

Honeysuckle is bad here.

I'm on 8 years of heavy use on my dewalt impacts. And that 1/2" gun has seen serious usage daily. Half of that was inclement weather. I'm quite pleased with it. Before the dewalt, I burned through a Milwaukee in two years, and a Hilti in 1 1/2 years.

My snap on 1/2" pneumatic impact will run circles around my 20vlt dewalt impact. My pneumatic impact very rarely gets used anymore though. It's rather nice being untethered [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

My grandson had a tick latch onto his junk [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] He was an iching fool for about a week after. Benadryl creme works wonders!!!

Last year we had an extremely good crop of dragonflies. I was pulling out of my driveway in the early morning and the cow pasture across the street was sparkling..... a lot!!! After watching for a couple minutes, I realized that the sparkles all over the field was the sun glinting off from...

It is down south. We from from spring to the pollening, but comfy weather. Then over night we jumped straight to hades with 80% humidity.

Next on your list is the 1/4" nut driver [emoji48][emoji48][emoji48] I Have all three impacts from dewalt. 1/2", 3/8, and the 1/4" nut driver. Plus a Mikita 40vlt 3/4" impact. I use the 1/4" the most. I picked up a master set of bits for it which also came with the 1/4 socket adapter. I'm...

For starters and alternators, I use a local Armature service. The bonus for me though is that work gets a pretty good discount, so depending on what the starter or alternator is for, I can get a new one for about $10 over the cost to get one rebuilt.

I had two dedicated straps i used for my atv. They were 2" wide and about 10ft long. One through the front grill guard pulling forward. And one through the back rack pulling backwards.

Small bungy cords work well for this as well and the bonus is tou can reuse them.

If they have the large loop where the strap is sewn to the binder, I'll loop the excess and slide it through the gap and the tighten the binder. If not, I'll roll the excess up and slide it between the strap and the load before tightening. On sketchy stuff that needs a little extra something...

I got it at the very beginning. Picked it up from a temporary employee who went to Mardigras. I was sick for 3 days and it was identical to how the flu affected me.

We have a barred owl that lives on our property. I'll see him quite often sitting on a fence post at the end of our driveway hunting a water hole in the cow pasture. Every now and then I'll accidently spot light him in our yard and tick him off. He gets awful mouthy when you disturb his hunt...

I had a weiney dog that would get sprayed by a skunk and then show up to the door asking to come inside stinking to high heaven and soaking wet..... This took about two weeks to figure out what was going on. My wife woke me up about 4am and told me the skunk was back. So I grab the flashlight...

Timothy grass gets me along with oak pollen. I moved to an oak forest with a cow pasture across the street with Timothy grass [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] If you have a powerful flashlight you can see the pollen after dark by shining it up in the air and looking across the beam. The light...

I have a hip that pops out of joint so that side will sit a 1/2" lower then the other hip. Never realized that was my issue until I had back pain for about 6 weeks and decided I better go to the doctor. He had me stand straight and checked my hips. And pointed out that one side was lower than...

Don't come to Arkansas in the spring. Pollen season is referred to as "The Pollening!!!!!" Wash your vehicle, and come out 4 hours later and your vehicle has a nice greenish coating. I was out walking the pooch after dark and shined my flashlight up and looked at the beam. It looked like I...

Yes they were. Also didn't help with the sand/ mud storms coming in from Texas either. I would run my wife's car through the car wash and the next day it had a thick, sticky, greenish coating all over it, or it would rain and the car looked like we went mudding in it...

I've seen one coyote a couple years back running down a utility right of way up the road. Then a few days later I had one booking it across the road at 5:30 am about 3 miles the other direction. Apparently there were a bunch around my property just before we purchased it. But they started...

Our shop is nuts in the summer with wasps and yellow jackets. Since we have 7 acres of asphalt yard, we store pipe for our district. Towards the middle to end of summer, I'll end up having to take the forklift and load some of that pipe. As soon as you grab a rack of pipe, it looks like...

I had to switch to free and clear laundry detergent years ago. But mine was due to psoriasis. Took a bit, but I finally got my wife to quit using dryer sheets on our blankets and sheets as well. I still have allergies, and it's progressed to having to use a inhaler occasionally. But I also...

I knew someone who had the same issue. Took her years before she could tolerate anything besides fish and chicken.

"Retarded" was a lump category from anyone with a mental handicap. That will get me foaming at the mouth if someone uses that around me and they aren't referring to timing [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] I have a cousin who is super sweet, but has a mild disability, one arm that has the...

In my area of Arkansas, they came on the news and asked people to be on the look out for a black vulture that had a band on it's leg. The wildlife department was using the band to track it.

Kids of this generation can't handle constructive criticism. They take it as an attack and then say they aren't being treated fairly, because you got on their case about something. "Hey joe!!!! You screwed up, you cost us a bunch of money!!! Next time you need to do xyz......"

It's all those little ankle biters people like to call dogs. Apparently they taste good to the raptors [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

I would take Gypsy to the pet stores for an outing and socialization. She would sit down next to one of the store employees who had treats. Give them a paw, get a treat. Lay down and look cute, get another treat. She would do this until she cleaned the person out of treats and then move on...

It's a she [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] she didn't teach the grandson how to walk. But she's taught him how to get around my kitchen blockade as well as instigating a few of the times they have gotten in trouble [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] She's pretty good at...

Not a pretty mental picture either [emoji1785][emoji1785][emoji1785]

Now it's "Fire!!!!". Thats my son in laws favorite saying. Which totally throws me off when my buddy (my age) says it [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] In his defense, one of his kids is graduating this coming year. So I can see how he picked it up.

We had a weiney dog that really didn't like deer. We were riding in the truck, and all of a sudden he perked up and started growling really low. He was focused down the road and off to the right. We got about a 1/2, mile down the road, and the woods opened up to a field and farm. He was...

" They must have Bumped their heads" or "bumped their F-n heads" This could be really high price, idiotic demand, or something else unrealistic. If F-n is used, then the absurdity of the price or demand is off the charts ridiculous.

I haven't heard that one in a long time. Off in the Pucker brush

This pretty much sums up y'all [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Ain't that the truth. I had to explain to a sales lady that no.... I'm not gonna pay shipping on a normally stocked item because you ran out. I then ran across town to star bolt.

That belt was on a JD4045 diesel engine powering a water pump. We've since sold off those pieces of equipment. That was several years ago. For a few of them, I wrote on the box with the part number what it was for, and stapled it to the front of the shelf where I kept my JD belts...

I had to have our deere vendor (largest deere engine builder in the states) do a dealer search for a belt i needed. Deere didn't make the belt anymore. And I didn't have the original to take to the auto parts store to find a gates alternative. The only dealer that had one, was a little mom...

Same here. My zero turn has only had a partial tank of ethanol gas in it. Its what the dealer put in it to test it. It's had ethanol free ever since. It's 7 years old and still running great.

In Oklahoma, they sell regular gas a most stations, and you have to choose the separate nozzle to get E10. Local truck stop has ethanol free gas on a dedicated pump. Thats where I get my gas for all my small engines.

You would probably need to order the oil pump for a Kubota L245. It's the closest north American equivalent to it. Those engines had a plug installed on each end of the camshaft. What happens is the camshaft plug on the front of the motor falls out and ends up in the oil pan causing you to...

Yeah, drugs and booze were involved as well. There would have been a strong desire to not involve the police by the man.

Buzzards will clean up road kill pretty fast around here. Run over a snake in the morning and its gone by the afternoon. Same with possums, and coons.

Thats not just Massachusetts. I knew a couple people that took the easy route to a cdl through some well placed (cough... cough....) donations with a truck driving school in Florida. They came out later and were really digging into that school and trying to figure out who was legit and went...

Same here. They breed and multiply so fast, and can cause massive destruction in their wake. A friend shot a domesticated pig that had escaped and had been living in the wild for some time. That sucker dressed out at 300lbs [emoji44][emoji44][emoji44] He was in the sausage making buisiness...

Thats how it was growing up in vermont as well. I never paid attention to snakes as a kid. The only poisonous snake in our area were spotted adders. And they would just make you a little sick if you got bit by one. We did have rattle snakes in the southern part of the state around the slate...

Back in highschool my grandparents lived across the road from us and up the hill. Both houses overlooked the horse pasture in front of my grandparents house. 3 mornings in a row, a 1/2hr before I needed to wake up, I would hear a gun shot. Then the phone would ring and my grandmother would...

The ground hog was crying after being shot according to the post. Another member misread said post.

I reported a Grey fox for possible rabies. I saw one hanging out in a rural area in the middle of the road. When I pulled up with my work truck, it just stood there with a 1000 yard stare. I cracked the window and yelled hay. The darn thing started spitting and hacking spinning in a...

We have raccoons that hang around our property. They haven't hurt anything other then sharing the corn with deer and getting fat [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] Every now and then I'll see one hanging out in one of the trees watching me and pooch out for our walk.

Drivers responsible for the load. But in wrongful deaths lawsuits, they tend to drag everybody into court to see what sticks.

Even better when the person whose doing the loading hauls said equipment each day [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

I had a driver yesterday that I hoped would get the dot English test [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] I finally loaded the equipment on his trailer where he wanted instead of where I was suggesting to put it. I passed him going down the road a while later and the trailer was so tongue heavy...

Yeah, they dont care since its just the driving that they care about. What gets me is freight haulers thinking its appropriate to drag around chains and binders wearing flip flops. One dropped binder in the right spot, and they would be howling for a while [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Flip flops are mandatory attire for OTR drivers these days [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] I've lost count of how many drivers I've had through my yard where I've had to stop them and inform them that boots were mandatory in my yard.

The guy who has the cattle across the street from us had a buddy play a joke on him. The buddy turned a black sheep loose in his cattle pasture during calving season. Took him a week to realize one of the calves he was counting was a sheep...

Coworker told me about an odd occurance when he used to live down the road from where I live now. He walked out of his house one morning and noticed 3 deer munching away next to his house. What was odd was they didn't take off when he exited his home. This got him wondering, so he...

My issue is i keep finding random metal grown up inside the trees [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] Predominantly barbed wire. But I also found a spike in one of them.

I've had my neighbor flatten my fence a couple times [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] I came home from work and my neighbor came rushing over in a panic over it. He had it straightened back up as best as he could, with part of the tree still on my yard. I just...

I do that as well. If i need to cut really large stuff (32" or larger) i automatically put a new chain on. I can sharpen a chain pretty decently, but one side is usually just a touch better than the other side. You don't notice it on smaller diameter stuff, but once you start cutting really...

Our GSD has been the best baby sitters one could ask for. The Bonnie to our grandsons Clyde. One or the other was cooking up something for the two of them to get in trouble with. And yes, they both instigated [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] My wife turned her back for just a minute...

Our jack Russell and weiny dog were both very protective of the yard. Both great and loveable. Both very barky. Our German shepherd is quiet unless someone knocks on the door or rings the door bell. Great dog, great with kids, great with the elderly. Not so great with small animals. She'll...

Good catch. It's resting on the latch. I hate that style latch for that reason. Pops learned a valuable lesson when he stopped by to pick up his tractor. He borrowed a buddies trailer and my brother in law hooked it to the trailer hitch. Before pops loaded up the tractor, I stopped him...

I can't get off my tractor without it being in neutral and the parking brake set. It will shut off [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

We used to dog sit our shepherds brother. Sometimes he would stay with us for a month or two. We've come home to a couple shredded dog beds [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] What a mess, but I think they had a really good time [emoji849][emoji849] We were dog sitting them...

A stuffed animal has the same life expectancy as a tennis ball does in my place [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] The exception is the ultra tough toys made out of fire hose. I have a couple of those that have survived a few years. Just don't get near them if she...

Here's a photo of the ball.

We've had dogs over the years that would wear your arm out throwing a ball. We found a "Chuck it" stick at pet smart. It resembled a lacrosse stick. That sure saved my shoulder and elbow [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4] For our GSD, a tennis ball has a life span of about 10 minutes. We...

Yeah, i had a few light switches that switched on the neutral side as well. Plus a couple three way switches that were out of sync.

Yup, I spent quite a few winters in ski boots. They didn't bother me though. I was a teenager.

Redwing's tear up my feet. My employers for the past 20 years have had a boot program with redwing. It's the sole design. I need something with arch support which redwing doesn't have. Thankfully once I got a company credit card, I'm not stuck with having to go with redwing. Took me a...

Aunt and uncles house was originally wired that way.

My 65" is in storage. Hope it's still working. It's been there for 1.5 years. I got a 40" fire TV we purchased and installed in the camper we are currently living in. I won't find out if the 65" is any good until we get our home built and can move in. We were fixing to get started on the...

That sounds like some of the work in my last house. The old lady we bought the house from had one of her sons work on the place since he was a "Handy" man. Well he wasn't very handy. I was in the attic shortly after purchasing the home. I kneeled down and got shocked...

My grandfather did his twice. The first time was in the 60's before he replaced the siding on the home. He had someone come through, drill holes and blow in insulation. Then completed the siding after plugging the holes. The upstairs of the home was still breezy and cold. He did a remodel...

Flat screens have come down so much in price. We paid $500 for our 65" TV 5 years ago. Walking through Walmart, we saw our TV for sale for $380 last year [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

In the northeast, we had combination wood/ oil furnace. It was installed when the house was built in 78'. The current owner of the house is still using that wood burning furnace. I spent many nights when it was -30° outside sleeping with a sheet because of the heat that baby put out.

We had pvc run originally in the shop at work. The issue we ran i to was the joints where it was glued would fail after a couple years. After I fixed one leak, another would show up.

Its also tiny..... Back before covid you could buy a McMansion with a large 3 car garage for $300ish here. Daughter just bought a 2400sqft, 4 bed, 2.5 baths, w/ pool on a fancy walking trail in town for $325k. Which reminds me, I'm gonna have to go over in a couple weeks and help her husband...

I have the icon pliers set from harbor freight for my service truck. I carried them onto the Snapon truck one day and compared them side by side with the snap on driver. Other than the handle color, you couldn't tell the difference.

My GSD settled in at 85lbs.

They have environmental studies (act 250) in Vermont. Which can take up to a year to push through before you can even think about building. When the city of Vilonia built a bypass around the city, they didn't take into account drainage or how the highway would effect the surrounding areas...

I have memories of dad standing on his bed with a tennis racket trying to club a bat as it flew by [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787]

I would think the way the housing prices are in California, my 2000sqft home that we paid $125k in Arkansas for is probably comparable to a million dollar home there. At least based on the house hunters shows my wife watches on TV.

We had a 2000sqft home and we did that throughout the year. It was just my wife and I after the teenagers grew up and moved out. So the two guest bedrooms stayed closed and unoccupied. I shut the ducts down so the heat and ac just barely trickled through them. If we were gonna have...

Yeah, my septic permit was filed with the health department. The reason is to make sure the septic isn't gonna be a problem for someone else. But if you have 10 acres or more, no septic permit is required. [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Mine washed out one night due to a Possum being face to face with the camera. The washed out section was his white fir. I could just barely tell what it was in the photo if you had someone hold up the phone and looked at it from 5ft away

A friend of mine just switched jobs from a superintendent for a extremely large construction company that built multi million dollar commercial buildings to working for a local college in the facilities maintenance department. His job is to deal with all the contractors working on the buildings...

Nothing like that here. The county offices would laugh you out of there if you stopped to get a permit to change your toilet out. The only exception here is anything on the historic registry. Then you really have to watch what you do inside or out Anything outside city limits stays on the...

The sunken living room was awkward in my aunts home since you had 3 steps to go down into the area. I could see myself falling going in there the first time in dim light.

Had a friend in highschool whose house was a split level. I always thought that was odd as well. The split level was where the bedrooms were, and had the basement under it. So the basement only covered half the house and the living room and kitchen had a crawl space under it. I always...
