You missed this important piece on replacing both springs on your garage door when one breaks. /sarc

BoA is apparently streamlining its short sale procedures to get more timely answers.

Amazing how it only takes bank 4 years to do the obvious, and then it’s still not what it should be. /sarc

The shipping container story shows there’s still plenty of nuts with more money than brains. $59k for a 200 square foot “house” — what a shrewd deal!
Looks like you could build it yourself for very little and save the $10k shipping cost to boot. An RV without the R or V… pretty much worthless and it probably lowers the value of his property.

The aspect of the Shiller quote that I always miss is if you actually pay off your mortgage, *then* I’d like to see a measure of the return on the investment from year 30 on, as you live for a fraction of the price of renting. Too bad no one does that anymore.

I’ve always wanted to build a storage shed out of a shipping container. I have had sheds broken into in the past, and it seems a good way to add security.
The twist is that I’d build a cedar facade and a roof around it so it looked like a stick-built structure. I guess the trick is figuring out how to best wrap it. Perhaps 4×4 posts every 5 feet with sheathing, then lap siding. You would not want to drill into the container and you would probably want some sort of air gap around the container.
