When do the invitations go out for the house-warming party? ;)

Have to maintain 6 feet distance, so would be tricky.... :rofl:

Maybe a photo tour party of sorts....ha ha

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Is it too soon to be worrying about who is bringing what to the housewarming party? I was thinking of bringing some virtual pork pies.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

A virtual tour followed by virtual drinks and snacks on the balcony perhaps! :D

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I'd like to spill some virtual red wine on the virtual white carpet. :lol:

God damn, what a crazy 12 minute video.

Soft White Underbelly video and portraits of The Whitakers, an inbred family from Odd, West Virginia.

Pretty sizable fire on a US Navy ship in San Diego, USS BONHOMME RICHARD, reports their was an explosion prior to the fire. Looking at some live feed, appears to still be on fire.

If the wind shifts just right, the whole apartment smells like rotting flesh, downside to this area the chicken processing plant across the street a bit, summers are the worst for the smell...Its so nasty...lol

9 bed/9 bath single family home on 9 acres, can be yours for a cool 21.9 million.

Wonderful use of agriculture land and because its on ALR the property tax is only 16,000/yr currently.

The province has since changed the laws so these mega mansions can no longer be built on ALR.

Vancouver Sun article.

Personally if I had 22 million to spend on a house, I'd choose this more modest home in San Diego.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Agreed. What goes through people's minds building a folly like that. Money laundering perhaps? Definitely prefer the La Jolla pad. Location, location, location !

I bet Meg and Harry are annoyed they didn't wait for that Richmond property to come on the market :hysterical:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of money laundering element took place at some point with these large houses.

A few examples of what 10- 20 million can get you elsewhere in the region.

In 1983 Nelson Skalbania went broke, and he owed a lot of rich people money, and they all chipped in and raised $1M for him to try to make it back. I'm not sure how that worked out. I was staying at my aunt's house in Kits then and getting around on a $2 yard sale bike. I rode it past Skalbania's house on Marine Drive one day and remember thinking "I'm not sure a million dollars would pay the taxes on that."
