Rumor What's going on in Portland?

your wood dropped? might want to talk to someone about that, but I don’t suggest you do it here at S2!

but for real… I was just told by a small contractor wood prices aren’t coming down any time soon. How legit is your source?

 

Pretty damned legit, if I know Orion and I do know something about Orion.

 

Guys thanks for the remodel opinions….I’m going to start a thread so I can ask you guys more questions.

 

Outstanding!! My wife is about to begin a 9 townhouse building development in downtown Nashville. She'll be thrilled by this news!

 

pretty legit. Spoke with the foreman of marine lumber next door.

no answer as to if it will trickle down to the end user/home depot shopper though.

 

That's interesting.

When we were in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami last weekend, we took a boat tour on Millionaire's Row along the Intracoastal Waterway. Pretty incredible, actually. The tour guide on the boat kept referencing Wayne Huizenga (owner of the Miami Heat, Miami Dolphins, and a boatload of other enterprises. No pun intended) homes along the way. He must own a half dozen of them!

Anyway, Huizenga founded Waste Management Company and the guide mentioned that his son owns a very large yacht named........Success Stinks.

OK, I thought it was clever.

 

Is it a Toto? I may have mentioned it before but I love those things!

 

Of course... At the start of the pandemic during the toilet paper panic I installed a bidet seat on one of our toilets in the unlikely event we ran out of TP (and since it was early days, I had to do that myself and my lifelong dream of becoming a plumber has worked - I am very proud to say that it has not leaked once since I installed it - and never malfunctioned). Once we got used to that - it was clear that SWMBO would want one in the main bathroom - and this Toto has heated water and all the other fancy stuff - I believe she would be very happy with that. We probably have another month before this remodel is done (since it was a demo and start from scratch situation).

The joys of buying an old house... It's a pain in the rear. But, I look at the house valuation now compared to what we bought it for - and it is probably well worth it...

Portland looking to move the homeless to three shelters and make camping illegal.

It's a start... And temporary, but I will say that Metro was able to get a measure passed with what appears to be enough funding to actually house them within a few years.

Let's see if they actually do it...

 

Nothing? A very popular restaurant is REOPENING in downtown Portland.....not negative enough for some? This is a good thing right?

 

and then the shelters will likely end up like this:
