My grandpa said the only time you loose money on real estate or investments is when you buy it and when you sell it. He never sold a property he bought. And he invested heavily in bonds and mutual funds his whole adult life. I mean he had bearer bonds from WWII in his possession he bought during...

And all this is why I prefer real estate. I get my match at work in my 401k but real estate seems to be much more stable then the stock market if it is done wisely. My dad has never invested anything in the stock market that I’m aware of, and he brings in well over 6 figures retired collecting...

I’ve never ran that, how built does a rig need to be?

That’s what I was thinking. I know some things can’t just be sold if they are abandoned but you must notify the seller of a public auction so that person can help with the auction and any money owed to you goes to you and they can keep the rest. At least that’s how it goes with property left in...

The cold weather, early darkness and busy weekends are killing the progress on this project. But I am still researching on the best way to start the dome, and design, etc. I need to go pick up my forevricks up In slc but the last few weekends I have been helping friends move, working overtime or...

I just put 15% of my annual income towards the power ball drawings and I hope to hit it big some day.

Not much progress because of the awful weather but I did get the hi temp ceramic 1.5” thick insulation board laid out and cut out. Gonna add another 1.5-2” of perlite concrete mix on top and level itnoff and then get ready to lay my fire brick floor.

Had some fantastic help pouring the counter top. I’m glad I’m not a concrete guy as my profession. It turned out okay,but will ultimately be covered with tiles or something in the end.

Yeah, right now I’m just building the base. The opening underneath will be just dry storage for fire wood and such.

Bit more progress this week. I finished pouring every other block cell and then started working on the forms for the top. I cut slots in 2x4 and anchored them with tap cons and fit 1.5”x1.5” angle iron across that I had left over from a project. Gonna finish forming it up today and see when I...

We use utopia and love it. I think we pay around $65 total for 1 gig. I don’t see how anyone with that option that would go with anything else, although we did use century link fiber at a house and were happy with that but I felt like we paid more back then.

Win win, I got insurance man, let her burn, don’t put it out.

It will be so insulated that it will be he equivilant if your oven bring next to your wood cabinets. On top of he brick will be a layer of refractory mortar, 2” of high temp insulation blankets, and then 3 layers of a final render to finish it. I’ll t may be warm to the touch but definitely not...

I do, but you can cook much more then pizza in this thing. Essentially a second oven that won’t heat up my house in the summer. I plan on doing steaks and rib roasts and turkeys in here. And yes, obviously a ton of pizza too.

I plan on welding some doors from the leftover angle iron and add wood in the middle. I’m visualizing some neat hinge ideas but if anyone has any ideas and pics I’d love to see them.

Forgot the pics.

And tonight I did a bit more... ready to pour the cells and form up the counter top this weekend. But it feels good to be making some progress.

Well, I poured the slab a few weeks back and been letting it dry. Laid out and squared up thebrick base and then drilled holes in the cement and epoxy’d in some rebar. I plan on using a longer piece too stick in every other cell opening when I pour the concrete in it and full the others with...

Yeah this is more of what I like. The lines and the finish looks good

I do like the tile mosaic look on top. I’ve considered doing that.
