House prices are definitely exploding.

I thought they paid in clams.

Explosive market

300K? For a hole in a wall?

Got to do something about that door.

For the bear minimum.

A black round bomb would have been nicer for Zelda™ fans…

It takes a lot of effort to chisel out a K. 300 is a lot to pay.

You can get one, at a rock bottom price.

It’s nice to see that when Peter has invented some really strong gunpowder, he’s using it for peaceful purposes instead of using it for the military army.

Kiloclams?

soooo … they could make dynamite back then but not build modern homes hmmm thinks so American I presume

1.3k in CA

Cavemen got dynamite!

They paved paradise.

I like the neighborhood, but it’s not exactly “turn key”. I’ll offer 250k

ah, it’s just a whole in the wall. I was looking for better

For some builders, this is just the amount of effort they put into building houses.

Lots of technique involved in that.

That’s one way to burst into the reality market…

Wow. And all it took was one stick of dynamite. Now, that’s urban renewal.

That was close! For a second there I thought that was the lost, Martian “Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator”…

it’s bits like this that makes me think they are not cave men in the past but in a dystopian future.

Its not the price, its the interest rate that’s keeping them from buying

Each unit uniquely different than the others. Explosives do that.

“It’s a blower-upper…”

(¬_¬)

A housing boom.

300°K…hmmm a little warm but not too bad. 80° F/27° C.

Big gray thing look much like elephant butt. May be bad idea to light fire cracker in that crack.

Plumber’s surprise? Sorry for the crack.

Just don’t check the foundation for cracks.

Ooh! My long ago Cherry-boom and M-80 days.

Sometimes I think that is how they build these new houses these days…

Brilliant, other than the part about how the hell he came up with the dynamite.

300k Clams. That is cheap in my neck of the woods. I have seen similar simple ranch homes (1008 sq ft) in my city going for $410-500k.
