    Home Buying & Real Estate Thread

    We are in the Meyers neighborhood, have a small lake about a 5 minute walk from the house. We actually wanted to buy in Truckee/Donner but kept getting outbid, so we ended up in South Lake. We are about 10 minutes from Sierra and about 10 minutes from Heavenly.

    For the most part the black bears in Tahoe will go away if you make a lot of noise. The bear non profit said they are really just looking for food, and will usually only attack if you get in their way and block their exit route. I also have guns in the house for protection, and the kids are...

    Yep. I get bears weekly on my cameras, most of the time it's just them passing by. I've seen bears, coyotes, porcupines.

    I have cameras inside and out and we had a mouse problem so when the inside camera alerted I throught it was that. The bear basically ripped/pushed the steel door off the frame. Went inside opened the fridge and ate the little food we had in the house. We called the sheriff and he came and...

    We bought this mainly as a second home and to build equity for our kids in the future. The short term rental market is tough up there, they cap the permits at 900, and if someone already has one within 250ft of your property you can't get one.

    About a year now since we bought a vacation home up in South Lake Tahoe. So far we did some minor remodeling, new vanities/toilets floors in both bathrooms. New counters/sink floors in the kitchen and all new appliances. New paint inside and out. Had to replace the back door about 3 weeks ago as...

    Traded in my Tesla Model 3 for a 2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison Edition. Really wanted a Rivian or F150 lightning, but I'm too impatient to wait, and I'm not paying a huge markup for the ones that are available. Got it for $4k under list. Put on some new rock sliders and a tonneau cover so far.

    The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 300 ON NOW

    If Gordon would have been able to do absolute he would have walked away with three titles on Sunday. I can't stand his persona, but you can't deny he is above everyone else training BJJ and submission grappling right now. And I know Yuri won absolute, but he has to be one of the most boring...

    Such a shame, only 32, still at the top of the jiu jitsu world. Hope the cop responsible is held accountable, but Brazil so who knows.

    Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

    I'm actually surprised the rest of us haven't tested positive, we went on a 4 hour road trip before we knew she had it, all in the same car breathing in the same air. That was last Friday, basically we all mask up around her and she is isolating in her room for the most part. We tested her...

    My 3rd grader picked up COVID from school. Had symptoms for 1 day and has been fine since. Currently trying to make sure the rest of us (wife, 13 year old and myself) don't get it. We are all vaccinated.

    South Lake Tahoe has a block on any new short term rentals, permits are capped at 900 right now. Since I'm still working remote, we plan to be spending a lot of time up there, so right now it's just going to be a second home for the family.

    Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

    Ended up getting a moderna booster on Tuesday, after getting J&J back in March. With J&J I was messed up for a day with fever, chills, body ache, headache. With the booster, just a sore arm and a swollen lymph node.

    Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

    Got the J&J on Saturday along with the wife, no major side effects, basically fever, chills, headache and body ache for about a day. Was supposed to be the Pfizer but they ran out by our time slot. 3 days later, all we both have is a sore arm. My ER doctor friend said it's a good vaccine, and...

    You should do both gi and nogi, they complement each other. Nogi tends to be faster paced as you can't grip/slow down people as well as you can in the gi. Be ready to get smashed for a while. Just passed the 10 year mark this week training BJJ.
