introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

Sometimes I will field a request for my opinion of someoneās prospective house purchase. With only a bit of humor, I tell them to look for a coal chute. If the house doesnāt have one (and/or has endured several āremodelingā invasions), I tell them that person(s) to pass. If it does, and it has endured minimal or no remodeling, itās old enough to be competently built from good quality materials. I also suggest that the sewer lateral be ācamera-edā prior to purchase, too, even if the prospective buyer has to pay for that work. In my experience original construction work in old houses is competent; but remodeling work, being more difficult, is a 12 lane highway to all sorts of short-cuts and errors and stupid improvisations.
Actually, the best way to see if youād like ācondominiumā living is to move into an apartment for a few months ā thereās really little difference between the two since ācondosā often started out life as āapartmentsā.
One of the best factors involved in buying a condominium is that, by the time you have the money and desire to invest in one- youāre old enough to need āhearing aidsā ā a hearing aid āvolumeā control is a precious gift when dealing with neighbors.

Last weekend I had tickets to go see Timmy, the Yodeling Shetland Pony.
Unfortunately, Timmy has to cancel. He was a little hoarse.
