If you love guns...

[Byron In Exile]

then welcome to California!

And if you don't, then get the fuck out of here.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Uh...



Okay?

 

[PoppingTom]

If you like LRVs, metro and other kinds of public transportation, then come to Berlin.

If you don't, go back to California.

I would love to live on half the square footage that I have now.

Half of your square footage takes your garage that you don't need in the city

I wasn't counting it. It is three-bay and bigger than most English apartments according to the stats I have read in the past.

I wasn't even thinking about my 8 acres of oak forest.

Don't compare English 3-foot appartments with German houses.

English houses: this, this and this.

German houses: this, this and this...

If you want them to appear spacious, compare them to Hong Kong livin'!


The elevators give me claustrophobia...

Who needs elevators ?

if you want to live in a city and put your safety and well being into the hands of corrupt and wasteful government entities, be prepared to bear the costs.

Uhm...what costs?

 

[Byron In Exile]

Uhm...what costs?

I have never shot a human being.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I have never shot a human being.

Ain't that a daisy.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yet??

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Yeti?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

WTF? Are these guys morons?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Comanchero-brand killin'.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

My contractor ran out like my thrivin'...


Said it was his water pump.


Ford F-150


Now there is a hole in my ceiling...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

There are a few good ones of us.


Seems you have poor luck with them.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

First friends recommended this guy, who recommended a guy who ran out of time to do the job and then recommended this guy...



I cannot believe that the economy is that bad.


I need a Mexican dry-wall guy.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I have an excellent guy. His English is a bit better than my Spanish, but we always manage to laugh and to have a good time chatting, and he does excellent work and likes me.


Hell, I'd let him do work at Mom's house, and she's all kinds of picky.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I would be doing the work, but the Queen is too picky to trust me.


I pity the poor guy if he is not the best.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

When we switched to using him several years ago, our punch lists went to picky crap for drywall (instead of all sorts of shit) . . .


and our installed costs dropped $6/sheet.


He'll still do work for me at that same rate . . . because I am a nice Gringo.

Even more important is the painter who hides the drywaller's goofs who hides the framer's goofs who hides the cement pourer's goofs who hides the excavationer's goofs who hides the buyer's big goof...
