The Pepsi Blue commercial will remain jammed in my brain for the rest of my life. IMO, better than Pepsi Blue itself.

gave me food poisoning

Not really. I did my kitchen in my old house back in 2013 for ~15.5K material only plus countertop. Appliances were $6K including a washer and dryer; cabinets were $5500 from Home Depot, cabinets were ordered but all were standard sizes nothing custom and the uppers were white and the cases were dark blue; I had someone do the countertops for $1500 and they were only laminate; 2 new encasement windows ~$600; tile floor ~$1200 included the tile saw rental; paint ~$400; sheetrock and other minor plumbing, gas line and electrical changes ~$800. If OP is doing the work it can be done under $20K, but if they need a licensed contractor labor for kitchen reno down to the studs will be around $10K.

>No one in the city makes good bread

Cunningham's makes kick ass bread and provides it to places like The Wine Source.

Luigis is my go to for a good sandwich.

Baltimore has a good but narrow food scene. Tons of Italian and Greek and Nepalese. But entire swaths of cuisine just missing.

I don't understand how we don't have a good cheesesteak place.

That is way, way too much.

But he wasn’t unarmed 🤔and he threatened to shoot me for no reason? But I’m not getting into this.

Well you gotta budget rent for the 6 months to a year or more the work is happening

But I assume the biggest issue is that banks don’t see it your way and you can’t get the same loan for a rehab you can for a move-in ready property. Which makes it a nonstarter for most homebuyers in this area

So cool to live in a country where this guy gets to have a gun.

Right, we can’t rely on Ekiben to be the only sandwich shop in Baltimore. We have Attmans and a handful of solid Italian delis. And while pit beef is great, it’s possibly the most boring sandwich in the country.

That’s terrifying OP. I’m so sorry.

What did you do in that situation? Drive around quickly?

Pepsi Blue in my fridge.

Call your insurance company and see what they will cover. Facility fees vary greatly and so does coverage. I had a ten minute derm appt at the outpatient center and got hit with a $200 facility fee. My insurance at the time didn’t cover them. My current insurance does cover it so it varies from policy to policy.

I know materials costs are still high post covid but starting to drop back down to normal, Id err on the high side right now.

> It should be no surprise our gun crimes are as high as they are, when illegal gun ownership is treated as a misdemeanor

This right here is the issue. The state will gladly pass a new anti gun law every year but turn around and let violent people back out on the street with little more than a slap on the wrist. Is it any wonder that so many incidents involve people known to police and with long rap sheets?

They're saying the guy with the gun would be dead...

Nothing, this is just a case of someone regurgitating the same script day after day. No deviations, no critical thinking.

It is not. A couple blocks closer to the park maybe are into that $150k range

So sad

True but it’s easy to spent near $25k if you are starting with a shell assuming you are doing the work legal and following code.

I’d say it’s closer to $90-100k. There isn’t much of a profit margin on these row houses, which is why they’re still vacant.

Did that one sell for $119k? That’s the other problem.

I remember, as a kid in the 60s, playing with a neighbors large old floor model radio. It had several odd frequencies which were labeled HAM. You would hear very spooky things on it, esp the number readers. I was told that these were secret codes which were slowly read out loud. Also Morse code and some one reading ship's coordinates.

On a similar note, when I lived a year in Philly, there was a lot of talk about renegade radio stations, run by amateurs, from their house. They would set up an antenna and broadcast different things. One was for an Hispanic neighborhood. I don't hear about these in Baltimore.

In 2001, I bought an 1835 3 floor row house which had been a shop on the first floor since the 1920s. (and the 1920s was the last time it had been lived in) There was virtually no electric and only a single toilet/sink. It took me $70,000 and mostly my own labor to bring it up to a nice livable house. I hired a plumber and electrician to do the major plumbing & ele, I have filled in some additional since. I figure it would be about 150K to do the same today, with less self work. I still need a new roof, though I have a paint on elastomeric roof which I re-coat every other year. My house was neglected, but not wrecked. it was a time capsule. My first row house, in West Balt was in better condition, even though it had been a rental for about 10 yrs. It was 2 level. I think I put about 50K into it. But that was in the 80s.

It is all doable. Where the difficulty arises is having a team which can assess the needs and a team to do the work.Developers don't want to do that. they want to clear cut and build new stick houses. Small time flippers want to do the cosmetics and be out in a few weeks. I think another real problem is all the hassle in getting funding. The banking industry, was part of the reason for the decay, they do not like the model of restoration and its hidden costs, they do not like the whole idea of working in what they see as the bad lands. If government guarantee for loans could be secured, as was the case with the dollar houses then there would be a greater interest. Also too few Americans have any idea of how to do basic repairs. Even an undesirable paint color can nix a house sale these days.
