It's crazy because of how dated that shit is. The google photo of my home is like 7 years old.

Can’t you hire a third party home inspector to just inspect the roof? when we got one to do a whole house inspection prior to us buying our house it only cost us around $500-$600, if that’s a thing in the states I can’t imagine that just having the roof inspected would be too expensive, and they wouldn’t be incentivized to try to sell you anything.

I'm in need of a yard mascot. My neighbor has two concrete life sized alligators anchoring the end of his driveway. House on the way to work has two lions that get dressed up based on season. Right now, they're sitting in handmade lemonade stands that looks straight out of an 80s TV show. Passed a house today with 3 dinosaurs around 3-4ft tall in their front garden.

Anyone have any fun yard mascots?

Make a fountain.

Better yet, it sprays out of your koi pond.

Lemme walk over to my neighbors real quick.

Edit. It's turned off but he has a fucking waterfall with a koi pond at the top.

get a tortoise, like a live one, put that in your yard

checkmate neighbors

[Tyche]

Oh man, I like a tortoise. I haven't seen a giant Galapagos holding down a driveway.

The flexes small communities develop organically can get really strange. There's a subdivision in another part of town and they're all building these large sheds in their back yards and tricking them out into all sorts of weird shit. I've seen bars, gaming rooms and theaters, she-sheds, everything.

Get those frog statues John Oliver bought.

The tortoise idea lead me to this website and now I'm concerned for what my wife may do.

You're missing an easy opportunity for a crass joke:

Should just see who can get the biggest rooster statue.

[Tyche]

I ordered this glorious bitch over a week ago and Costco fucking oversold it and cancelled my order. I had even came up with a name. Chickki Minaj.

[Byrthnoth]

Only a 22 inch cock? You can do better than that!

[Tyche]

You know what I'd fucking kill for? A 6ft sandworm. Dune, not Beetlejuice.

261$ in parts and I suspect I'm calling a plumber because I don't wanna do this shit.

[Yabby]

holy shit that is massive.

[Drai]

leaking roman tub filler is pretty shitty, did they at least leave you an access panel or did you have to pop a bunch of tiles around the tub to get access?

Yah it was sledgehammer meet tile. Plumbers just left, new rough in valve and faucet installed so everything is back to working. Now I just gotta get the ceiling in the living room and the side of the bath I sledgehammered out fixed up.

[Tyche]

Fuck that's nightmare fuel. My most expensive room is in the basement.
