We Buy House As Is vs National Home Buyer?

National Home Buyer tried to renegotiate after the inspection. We Buy House As Is stuck to their original offer and closed without any games. Much more trustworthy.

PSA: Saw a $28 burger on a menu in Portland and it made me think about plating costs.

Slate tiles for a steak? That's a new one. Feels like you're paying for the plate rental, not the meal. At that point, just give me the food on a paper towel and knock ten bucks off the bill.

Showerthought: My cheap pressure washer almost cost me a $500 repair bill

Oh man, that's actually a solid save! Honestly, that grit is more likely from your house pipes or the spigot itself than the hose.

Pro tip: You can get a free soil test kit from your local county extension office, and the results will blow your mind.

That bit about naturally acidic soil from @eva908 is spot on. My uncle's place upstate is like that. Whole hillside is just blueberries and ferns, nothing else takes. He tried for years to put in a proper lawn. Ended up with a patchy mess of weeds and sour grass. Finally gave up and just mulched the whole thing. Now it's a walking path. Sometimes the land just wants what it wants.
