This is a photo of the cashiers check I turned over from selling that other house. I’m sad to part with with this much money (taking it out of the equity line of credit from my own house). But this is my best option to move forward and put focus on my own house and family.
To celebrate we are going camping and shooting guns and having country fun this weekend.
This is the first house I sold and it was a loss. I do realize that lots of other people lost way more money from the ‘08 housing crash.
I was a few days away from calling my bank to turn it over and asking opinions here lead me to decide I should just put money into it myself, keep my credit good and sell it myself. My neighbor was helping my wife and suggested I called or talk to a guy she knew of that flips houses, and after a few “webuyuglyhouses.com” people and showing it off to people who were telling me I’m screwed I didn’t have high hopes. I explained over the phone the house and he mentioned 90. I didn’t believe it and told home to come look at it before he makes an offer. He says he flips about 40 houses a year and what I had may be what he is looking for.
I got a text later that week that 90 was good and we exchanged emails and I started signing papers. I promised to “get all my shit out” so they could have a clean slate to start with. I did my part and signed more papers today, It is done.
Thanks for listening and being good humans. Here is the 44 Magnum I need to sight in this weekend along with a new $30 scope for my 10/22 ( which during this writing got delivered by UPS, and I mounted it. Uhh overcompensating a bit?)
Should Be a fun weekend

I’m glad it worked out as well as it did.
Enjoy your weekend. I got to shoot my brother’s rifles last time I visited. It was the first time I’d fired a gun since Boy Scouts. It’s remarkably satisfying to blast away at things, even if they are pieces of paper. :)

Since I’m sighting it it it may take a while. I’m not sure where it’s shooting when my mom had it. So, whatever bass pro has, then but 2 boxes of those. Probably full power though.

If that’s the eBay special scope with the light up green and red reticles with drop compensation, then good buy. I put one of these on my Mosin a long time ago, and it holds true to the 7.62x54R kick. Damn good scope for the money.

Yeah, probably same one. I got this from Amazon, where they list it as a $200 scope and 90% off and SAVINGS!!!
I may end up putting this on the 30-06 if it isn’t jamming.
