    I would have used the shit out of a fireman's pole during ICOK.

    I love riding down poles.




    Sorry, @Lincoln, not that kind of pole.

    We had someone do that before. He's been kicked out of IC events.

    If the floor can support the weight, I say we start taking donations.

    Edit: basement would probably work better. Just need a fireman's pole to get from the pub to the beer cave quickly.

    who wants to help me steal one of those McDonald's playground slides to beer cave? :)

    Oh god there would be so much sex in an IC ballpit. We would never be able to allow any actual children in it. Sorry Abbi Babbi.

    43 Icrontians have now donated, bringing the total from Icrontians to $15,750. We've spent approximately $63,000 on the house now, and I expect it will have passed $70,000 before Expo. I took out a second unsecured loan that'll get us that far.

    Immediate plans included in that:
    • Siding repair & painting
    • Basement wall repairs and sealing
    • Basement window replacement
    • Gutter installation
    • Uber cheap backyard "landscaping"
    • Ongoing electrical improvements
    My new guess is that the total cost before I get to the certificate of occupancy (needed to secure a home equity loan at a fraction of the interest level and 1/4 the insurance costs) is going to be another 20K or more on top of that (mostly for the carriage house repairs, which I've prioritized last). Haven't quite figured that part out yet - I've learned it's best not to think that far ahead.

    If anyone else is thinking about jumping on the "help the Sullivan House" bandwagon, this would be a great time to do it. :D

  • You are doing amazing work. I think all of us wish we could help more than we have so far and maybe we can. <3 Good job on that house, I can't wait to see it again.

    Is exterior paint and interior trim really keeping you from a certificate of occupancy right now?

    Yes. You wouldn't believe the list of minutiae that will also be a problem. I was just limiting it to the big items.

    What are the possible cost savings on homeowners insurance after getting the certificate?

    More than $200/mo. And refinancing my current loans as a home equity loan (which means passing a separate but similar bank inspection), even if I took out twice as much, I'd be saving more than $400/mo in fixed costs.

    So more than $20/day, possibly closer to $25. It's like eating out for an extra meal every day forever.

    no really, he grows on you. Like a fungus.

    The house has a new official rule: no air bazooka at/near Rocky or threatening him with it. He's been hiding in a corner of my room for over an hour now. It turns him into an inconsolable, quivering mess. Legit terrified.
