I don't really golf but I stared at a set at Costco the other day just thinking about it.
I'm afraid they'll get dusty before all this snow melts. Hopefully you get to use them in a more southern destination before that.
You had a 4800 sq foot house? Holy mother. Mine is 1750 (about a third of that) and it’s a little over average for this area. Did you have a basement under that? Guessing a partial maybe?

Highly unlikely. We started playing in April last year, so I am hoping for a repeat of that!
Plenty of simulators around if you wanna knock the rust off before then. I like the ones at Toad Valley, they have the floor that moves to match your lie and they seem pretty accurate.
Nope, but my brothers and I shoveled for room and board when I was growing up. Mom made it very clear she did not want my 60+ year old dad shoveling.

I played in a simulator league a couple winters ago, and I hit down on the ball too hard. Ended up straining the outside of my lead elbow and it bothered me for almost a year and a half, so I kinda gave up on that.
That included the finished & also heated (lookout) basement. Ranch style home (or rambler depending where you live for what you call it).
Thanks for jogging my mind on that one. I have the Ryobi 18v batteries already, so I went online after reading your post and ordered the Ryobi air compressor for the car tires ($24.97). Home Depot Ankeny delivered it before noon, the tires are all pumped up now, slick! Don't know why I hadn't thought of that before. Thanks again!

I installed a fireplace insert into our fireplace in the walkout basement in a previous home in Des Moines. It was a wood burning stove but designed to fit nicely into a large sized fireplace and then finished off. The "basement" was more exposed than not and finished off just like the upstairs first floor.
I got a lot of my wood from a sawmill down on the SE side of DSM. They had a huge pile of left-over cuttings and trimmings. For $10 you could haul off as much as you wanted. I would get hardwood slabs 8-10 foot long and cut them up with a circular saw.
Also I had two huge red oak trees removed and had the tree people cut the trunks up into fireplace length stumps. I would split those myself. Good exercise.

One of the worst parts of the derecho was not only that we lost around 60% of our trees but that pretty much all of them just got ground to mulch.
Just FYI, you only include the square footage of the space above ground. If there is part of the basement that is above ground level then that is included.
Not for appraisers, it is above grade; as determined by ANSI. Assessors and Real estate agents may include other things but for appraisals, it is strictly above grade.

Now you’re bringing up memories of those vast unending piles of mulch along 380 north of town and out along E Avenue by Highway 100
And the one out at Tuma, and the one down along the River where the hotel used to be.Now you’re bringing up memories of those vast unending piles of mulch along 380 north of town and out along E Avenue by Highway 100
