@Verdigris What was your adjacent experience BTW?

@Verdigris The big issue was the Chimney. And, well... Actually it was a lot of things.

I've studied a Lot of alternative housing techniques, and we're gonna need All of them in the next two decades.

@SeddyOchs@yiff.life It just takes a smidgen.

@Galuade@snouts.online There ya go! XD Might be time to pick up a cheap second ride and start fixing it then.

@Galuade@snouts.online I regard cars in terms of Dollars, overall, per mile of expected vehicle lifespan.
That has a billion factors. But a $500 car I dump $3000 into in parts means I have a vehicle I know is in a reasonable state of repair, because I went and repaired it.
But to do that, you've gotta find one with Low Miles, or a previous owner who maintained it.
So, I look for old folks Coffin Cars. The last car they bought new, knowing it was gonna be the last one they owned.
They were dying, but the CAR got washes, oil changes, and was kept Clean, except for the cigarette smoke.
And then their kids or grandkids don't want a boat that smells just like Grandma always did because they get sad whenever they drive it.

So they sell it for hardly anything, and you get a prestige ride for any respectable furry. You can long haul with all your friends, three fursuits and a gallon of vodka to basically Any convention in a climate controlled armored living room.

@Galuade@snouts.online 1999 Nissan Maxima with the V6 and manual transmission?
Dodge Caravan. (They're the most Useful vehicles, overall)
V6 camry.
even a Kia Soul or a later than '13 Sportage are good cars, well built, and surprisingly easy to work on. We did the rear pads and rotors on a sportage yesterday in a parking lot in less than an hour.

Go thru Regular Car Reviews on Youtube, too. And bear in mind as you do, Mr Regular used to be KutztownDragon.

@Galuade@snouts.online Also bear in mind my usual sorta thing is a stripped down, modded up vintage french moped. =P

@Galuade@snouts.online I bought a $500 '02 Lincoln Continental late last year.
It needed and still needs a lot of repair and some TLC.
But there's something about when an american company really tries hard and builds something Nice.

Besides, they gave it a VERY satisfying V8, you can fit 5 of your friends in the cabin and another two in the trunk, and it's heated power everything.

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz Star Citizen is like a Government Project done poorly. Vastly over-budget and no delivery in sight.

Elite is like a Govt project done properly: A reasonable portion is phased in, and more is added as time goes on.

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz @Galuade@snouts.online I personally have been pining away for a Third option, because I'm tired of changing everything up just because I'm with a different set of friends.

So, I see a lotta people idealizing the lifestyle of 'life in a cabin out in the woods'.

It meant you were always at risk of burning your place to the ground with the Wood Stove.
It meant Chopping, carrying, storing, and seasoning tons of hardwood. And I mean literal Tons.
It means you might not be able to make the walk to a real civilized Bathroom because a flock of wild turkeys is blocking the path in a menacing fashion.
It means mice, birds, bats, rats and Bugs finding their way into everything you own.
It meant that in heavy windstorms, you were always wondering if Tonight was gonna be The Night one of those pines comes down on my home?
It meant that any lovemaking caused architectural flexure, and structural oscillation.
I got good at cooking a Hot Pocket on a firebrick inside the mouth of the woodstove.
I was So good at using a gasoline powered coleman camp stove for four years that I never burned the place down with That.

Some kids turned to drugs to insulate them from their toxic parents and traumatic experiences. I turned to Carpentry.

@SeddyOchs@yiff.life Skunks. <3

Uncooked skunks

@ratbite666 that's why I have a tall gf and a short bf
