It's ceramic coated metal so I would imagine pretty good.

I have a client in Mt. Vernon so I know what you mean. Columbus has just done a major revamp of their zoning code along High St. and Broad St. to allow more "affordable housing", (Translated: Ugly multi-story apartment buildings with little to no parking.), which means that potentially I could wake up one morning to find that they're constructing a 7 story monstrosity within view of my kitchen window. They're talking about doing it along Morse Rd. and SR 161,which is closer to Intel, but there, they're going to have to increase the walkability in those areas.

Columbus is making an effort in that regard. They're buildng a "Tiny House " community on the SE side of Columbus and are going to offer job programs and social services to the residents. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/214-Arden-Rd_Columbus_OH_43214_M49207-84142?from=srp-list-card This is a listing for a Lustron house not too far from me. Just so you can get an idea of what the look like.

While cutting funding for schools and libraries. But who needs an educated populace, right? 😡

There’s a lot of reasons why this isn’t happening here. First of all, zoning regulations now usually require a minimum square footage and lot size, and these homes would probably not meet the requirements. Second of all, these would probably fall under “manufactured housing “ and even if they have a foundation and are attached as real estate, they’re more difficult to obtain financing on. Third of all, because it’s too practical. This would be great for in fill housing in urban neighborhoods for a start. You could build a community of these in the suburbs, if the suburbs would accept them. Sears used to make homes. They had numerous floor plans, would deliver the kit with all the supplies to the lot, and you would build it. They’re close to 100 years old, or older, and still standing, and are really cool. I have one up the street from me. In the 40’s after the war, you had Lustron Homes, which were built out of ceramic coated metal. They were about 1000 square feet with carports. Really cool and efficient for GIs coming back and starting families. 75+ years later, still standing. You are starting to see houses being built with 3D printers that are really cool, cost efficient, and more durable than stick built homes.

I guess Texas is about to learn the consequences of their actions. I’m sad over the people that have lost their lives, but I hope they realize that FEMA probably isn’t going to help them. FAFO.

Of course they do, even though all of their plans clearly contradict what Jesus Christ says in the Bible. You know, the parts about welcoming the stranger, feeding the hungry, taking care of the sick, etc. They forget that Jesus was a refugee, too.

If you ever get to Columbus, there’s a really nice trail along the Olentangy River. Starts just north of downtown and runs 14 miles to the northern edge of Franklin County. You also can hook up with trails that take you through downtown Columbus and south to Rt. 104 along the Scioto River, or west along the Scioto River, (but that one doesn’t go that far), or from downtown you can pick up the Alum Creek Trail, but you go through some sketchy neighborhoods to get there.

This never gets old.

She’s the woman who was at Burrow’s house when it got broken into. Supposedly she worked there.

I had a 79 Monte Carlo with the smaller V8 engine. My sister borrowed it one time and was shocked at the pick up on it. (She was driving a Skylark at the time.) I liked that car except in bad weather. It slid everywhere. I even slid off of I71 coming back from Cincy in an ice storm.

I haven’t really delved into AI and have no desire to (or have a need to right now). If the intelligence was AI driven, that is some scary stuff. I’m having Skynet nightmares.

My son introduced RATM to me on one of our roadtrips and I like them. I introduced him to CCR and he liked them.

Agreed!!!

Sorry, I won’t! I enjoyed my day off! 😊
