    Electric Snow Blower

    Couldn't agree more. My Ariens worked like a charm today. I have a large driveway, and my 28 inch blower handled it very well.

    Retirement Targets

    Got it. I was talking only about the lawyer fees, not the probate cost you were referring to.

    Retirement Targets

    I don't think that's true. Cyclone Fanatic's advertiser Hope Wood states this on her website. The reason to create a trust is to avoid probate. If your estate is high enough, it will save money. My lawyer friend says anything that goes through probate, they charge 2% of the value. So, if you...

    Weekend getaway recommendations

    We went to San Diego/Coronado and loved it. Weather was great, food was excellent, and there was plenty to do (Torrey Pines Reserve, boat tours, Padres, USS Midway). There is also a direct flight from Des Moines through Allegiant which was perfectly fine for us. Highly recommend.

    George Strait at Jack Trice-5/25/24

    I went to hotels.com, and literally nothing in Ames came up. The closest hotels were in Ankeny and Boone. They can't be sold already, can they? Probably the hotels just holding them so they can jack up the price later.

    George Strait at Jack Trice-5/25/24

    The front middle section had tickets going for 1,700 a piece! Crazy

    Should fans be allowed to come back in after leaving at half?

    Jack Trice has a major disadvantage going for it compared to newer or remodeled stadiums. Newer stadiums have concession stands for each deck. I went to Soldiers Field last year and there were like 4 or 5 different levels of concession stands. At ISU, everyone feeds into one level which...

    Miami Car Rental

    I've used Turo a couple of times with good success. Both times I declined their insurance, and just relied on my auto insurance. However, a friend's brother-in-law said the insurance piece is a gray area, and he wasn't sure if a regular auto insurance plan would cover something like Turo. Any...

    Property Taxes - Polk County

    A large part of property taxes are for schools. Iowa is way higher than Arizona on this list (13 vs 45). There are gives and takes on everything. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education

    How bad is Allegiant?

    We just flew to New York with our three kids on Allegiant. Almost 100% of people understand that kids are difficult to travel with and don't judge you. We flew to Orlando last November on Allegiant, and there were tons of families on the plane, so I imagine going to Tampa in December will be...

    We did our bathrooms right after Covid started at the estimates ranged from 30-100k. It was crazy.

    Home Remodel Suggestions

    We did get separate quotes for the cabinets and install. It's hard to figure out how much the install is itself because our contractor's quote includes demo. The cabinet store we went to seemed pretty good quality, but I'm just thinking I should get multiple quotes so was curious about other...

    Home Remodel Suggestions

    Resurrecting this thread - we are looking to remodel our first floor and got quoted on cabinets from a cabinet place in the Ames area - holy $$$, they are expensive. I would be interested to know where other people have gotten cabinets from for a kitchen remodel?

    Do you have a cleaning person?

    For those people in the Ames area, who would you recommend? I would call our house "picked up" but need to take it to the next step since my wife and I both work and have three kids.

    Concrete Repair to Driveway

    We had Midwest Foundation Repair level a decent chunk of our driveway with the poly level stuff. It’s held up since they did it two years ago. I haven’t noticed any sagging or other issues. They gave us a 5 year warranty so if something does happen in the next 3 years, I’ll give them a call.
