Yeah, I know but at one point based on them we were $-100,000 on a house that
didn't cost $200,000 so its nice to see their rating back in our ballpark.
I think their rating for us is low. Looking at the comps other houses in our
price range are total garbage.

Because you’re in a rural area. Not enough comps, and the ones they have are
probably wildly different in size/value.

Which house? Rental, or Okie Acres?
You know I randomly got a couple checks out of our refi also. One from the
mortgage company, one from the insurance company and one other I don't recall.
Then I got a bill for $12.65 of underpaid taxes...
It kinda worked out, with the furlough weeks I had to take from work the money
was handy.
We had a bunch here in front of the house. I cut 'em off with the chainsaw in
the fall and ran a 1/2" forstner bit down the center as far as it would go,
maybe 4-5". In the spring I stuck a shovel under the edge of the stumps and
they just came apart...

Zillow doesn’t appear to deal well with disparities or inconsistencies relative
to comparable properties. I have to believe they take what sale data they can
get from the county or municipality, but even so, their “special sauce” doesn’t
seem consistent.

Hmm, I was just wondering about our little spot. We refinanced a couple months
ago with declared value $160k which is $-20k vs what we paid for the place.
That value came from the high range on Zillow.
Just checked Zillow and it says $170k "+$5000 over the last 30 days". I guess

As best I understand it, this happens because closing costs are
estimates. At the actual closing you might be a little bit +/- and they
either pay you or you pay them the difference. I've had both happen.

This is a good example of where Zillow is totally whacko. It doesn’t appear
that they even took the data from your purchase of Okie Acres into
consideration. They’re saying it’s worth $86k yet a much smaller place down the
road with three more acres is worth $210k.
Safety note:
Remember when pulling with a tractor to hook LOW on the tractor and only to an
approved pull point. LOTS of farmers have been killed when a tractor pivoted on
the rear wheels and rolled over. Even with ROPS you're going to get quite a
knock if it rolls.
This is especially true on
What was the confusion aspect? I want to know everything if I have to

I'm gonna call the Titlemax guy tomorrow and see what his story is, I

if some amount of time passed they would write it off.
Thanks. I know some carbs are "drain-back" but I don't think that works with
dual-diaphragm carbs. I never had luck rebuilding mine so I just replace them
too.

This, but you need a large diameter rim (remove the tire). The rim translates
the pulling force to a lifting force. The bigger the rim diameter and the
closer you get it to the stem, the greater the lifting force. The 'U' profile
