Reply to comment by throwingutah in Richmond School board member proposes closing five schools to more efficiently use budget by Charlesinrichmond
Gotcha, I haven't really followed what happened or anything since then, just knew it burned. Even still, a few million could be better than what it would cost to rehab other schools.

what is regular maintenance. Chains, tires, sprockets and oil can all be done in a driveway (this is how I do it). If you are mechanically inclined, you can do valves and carbs also, though I take those projects to my neighbor who runs a repair shop from his house.
he's a wizard with carbs.
Also checkout RVAMotorcycles on FB (if you're on FB) for more answers to this and other RVA related moto questions.

Not much they can really do. I remember walking across Belvidere over Main street. Had the cross walk sign. Was almost there when the car that wanted to turn right on red inched a bit. I stopped. The stopped. I walked. They inched again...I hesitated then continued to walk and ended up rolling off her hood and window. I clearly had right of way in every instance but she didn't care.

This was a really nice post. One thing to remind people is a flipped house does not mean a new house, it is still a used house with all the used house problem and to be honest even the best contractor or flipper is not looking for problems with a fine tooth comb, so you will still fine stuff that needs fixing, because flipper normally isn’t really living in the house.

I've said it before on here, it's controversial, but tear down and fill in 195 from the top of Cary to the city. Build housing, and connect the grid back together instead of having this massive scar of a highway right through the middle of downtown.

Unfortunately yes. Or covering the entire floor with LVT. It hurts me.

I think maybe the scheduling. I priced it for a Saturday morning at 6.

Right, but I also didn’t even mention a car ban in my initial post at all, I mentioned improving public transportation.

If you're looking at a house, especially an older one, with a septic system, get an independent inspection done on it. The inspection sellers need to do prior to selling only needs to certify it's working. You want to know the age of it, the condition of the drainfield, etc. You don't want to get stuck having to replace an aging/failing system as it can be very expensive.
I say this from the experience of owing a mid-50's rancher years ago that had the original 50 year old system when we bought it. We had an issue a few years later that almost caused us to have to replace the entire thing. It was shitty and trust me when I say you don't want to deal with it.

Our realtor really encouraged us to get the sewer scope done, and I'm massively grateful that they did. The pipe had broken some time earlier and was leaking raw sewage into the yard - 8 feet down, but still. It was like a $15k estimate and we were able to work with the sellers about covering it.

Not if you are letting them have puppies in that cage out back it doesn't. No vaccinations, parasite, deworming or heart worm protection.

That really sounds high from Uber, I wonder why? The early hour or the scheduling? Only saying so because I occasionally take Ubers about 4-5 miles around the near west end after one too many drinks and it's never been more than like $16.

I definitely think banning cars from the block or two on broad where a majority of these horrific accidents happen would do far more good than harm

What could they do unless they saw him doing it or op had video evidence? I'm legit asking. Like even if they drove there right when op called they'd likely be long gone.
Sucks this shit happens but I don't think the police would actually do anything.
