The tax assessment thread got me curious on property values here. Found a wide ranging data site and properties in my city have appreciated 69% since 2000. My old hometown in Iowa showed +49%.

Yeah, we just got bumped pretty good too. Only new things - roof on house 2 years ago, and last winter replaced culvert under driveway and hooked up to rural water (had well previously). Total cost spent = about 1/5 of increase in appraisal. Grrrrrr...
And what you did was more repairs than anything else. You would never get 100% back of what you spent if you were to sell.
Like I tell people who said that new garage door cost a grand to replace and think the house should be worth that much more. I ask what the value would be with a completely broken door. It takes more than a grand hit.
Farm land assessments are taking a hit with the formula they use so they need to find money elsewhere.
In order to exorcise the negative ju ju I was feeling regarding the person formerly known as the Mayor, I worked up a happy little meme (in Joy of Painting style). Ok, now I'm over it.
So Janny recently said that the mods can switch your username and I'm trying to decide if I should switch to WooBadger
Renouncing all ties to ISU? I do like the name though. There was a series of books I read that had an Inn named "Easing the Badger" (which was never explained)--it kind of makes me think of that.
Nah, because it's still going to be obvious that I'm a cyclone fan. But it'll sync my profiles on different websites and it'll be more of a hint that I'm also a Wisconsin fan. Because I sometimes feel like I need to explain that if Wisconsin stuff comes up
Or could drop Woo and keep the clone and just stay nicknamed like BDK did with his 50 names.
I am waiting for the burning jersey video so I can gif it as my avatar.
Assuming CF would allow that here in their Temple of Fred.

Wife tells me she wants this picture collage type set of pictures hung up. I take a note pad and start measuring, I ask if this is exactly as she wants. Yep, it’s a go.
Finish measuring the layout and drawing up the format and everything. Wife proceeds to walk over and change things around and add a few pictures. Does it a couple times. I walked away.
