The grill looks like it’s okay. Maybe the house should be a bit more heatproof

>>12750739
>the absolute state of houses in USA

at least the windchimes are okay

never trust a women

I don't see what your not telling her to move it has before using it has to do with not knowing how to use the grill

most people that keep a grill use it where it sits, you store it in a dumb place, it's your own fault.

Damn, that's really unfortunate OP. Luckily those siding panels are super cheap and easy to put into place.
Hopefully you got some ashamed pussy out of this tragedy.

>>12750892
What does it feel like being this big? Some of you must know

>>12750892
i can hear his breathing from here

>>12750739
thats about $20 of siding, its not even that big of a deal. chances are the backings fine too.
the real fucker is the bricks that have heat damage discoloration on them. that's a fucking pain and $1000s of dollars to replace.

sidebar: got into a fight with the wife over the weekend. i had the grill up against the house, right under the electric meter because im trying to sell it. i was in the garage and i see her drunk ass trying to light the grill, so i run over and disconnect the propane entirely, eliminating the probability of burning down the house im trying to sell.

>>12750764
vinyl siding, not my favorite, but if you live where its cold its really your only choice unless you want to be replacing the outside of your house every few years. or get a brick house.

>>12750764
That was my first thought as well. But then I remembered they're also like ten times cheaper than where I live. I think I'd prefer that and just not allow my woman near the grill.

>>12750935
It's got wheels on it. It's against the house to keep out of bad weather and such. It's supposed to be moved out. It's not rocket appliance

>>12750935

this. god damn all you stupid sheep who spend north of $100k for these garbage stick builts raising the prices of properties well beyond what is reasonable in an real market.

You dumb pieces of shit who buy GMC, Pontiac and Buick, vehicles, plastic siding, aluminum nonstick pans, pointless af monthly doctor visits, personal trainers, maids and cleaning, lawn care, riding mowers for your sub half-acre lawns, exercise equipment, take out from Red Lobster, paper towels, etc, etc.

If this describes you, take a bottle of Tylonol and chase it with a bottle of Captain Morgan or Jagermeister whatever sugary garbage liquor you love. Your ruining the fucking everything, the Earth, society, and your dumb fucking wagecuck life if you had half a fucking brain and used it you would have escaped by now.

>>12751089
btw I paid $80k for my brick house with two car garage and full acre lot. Because I'm not a dumb fuck, I mow that shit with an electric push mower.

In fact I'm so pissed just thinking about you dumb sheeple I'm going to go mow my lawn right now.

>>12751089
I'll take my refrigerator, actually owning a house and a lawn, and having a car, over to quote my Lithuanian friend: 'Damnit I am starving, it is 4AM and nothing is open. The nearest thing open is, let me translate, 50.4 miles away. Why the fuck don't people work at night in Europe?'

I used to be 325 at my largest, so I wasn't quite as big as this guy, but I was close.

First off, any slight physical activity above a very slow walk will get you sweating like a pig. Your feet hurt a lot from the constant pressure put on them, but you do get calf muscles a body builder would envy. Walking also causes a lot of chafing on your inner thighs from them constantly rubbing, so you get a wierd rough patch of skin where it rubs together. Your limbs fall asleep easily when you are still because of the pressure on your circulatory system. My breathing was labored because of my weight and also smoking, and my heart frequently got palpitations, especially when I was laying in bed trying to sleep. You fear every chair you sit in will break, and that every pair of pants will split in the crotch unless you wear sweatpants. It's a miserable existence, especially when your friends are having fun at parties and in the outdoors and you can't because even if you tried, you wouldn't be able to keep up with them.

Luckilly I got pissed off enough about my condition that I made some,major changes and am now down to 275lbs with quite a bit of fat replaced with muscle. I still have another 50 lbs to go to get where I want to be, but I can keep up with my friends now and in terms of looks, now I'm just an out of shape guy instead of a disgustingly obese fat fuck.

>>12751238 4u >>12751025

>>12751089
>everyone should hoard their money
I agree with your sentiment that spending money on stupid, worthless shit is objectively bad, but if nobody spends their money our economy would stagnate and die before you fucking knew it. The reason our economy is fucked isn’t because of people wasting money on small businesses (housekeepers, gardeners, trainers, exercise equipment) but because people are becoming afraid of encountering the outside world, and so are spending all of their money on delivery services from amazon.
Feeding the monopolies is extremely dangerous, it exacerbated the problem of our dwindling middle class and our exceedingly large lower class gets bigger and the rich get richer. We need rich people to start spending all of their money instead of being greedy hoarders and we need stupid people to stop feeding all of their money to giant super companies.

The super wealthy/corporate executives are an inexplicable breed of person that isn't going to respond to calls for rational behavior if they think it will effect their profits. Take a look at Union Pacific Railroad for example. They are starting a new corporate strategy called Precision Scheduled Railroading. The idea behind PSR is that they eliminate inefficiency in order to deliver a maximum return on investment to their shareholders. What the shiny corporate ad campaigns and press releases don't mention is that PSR really means gutting every department down to skeleton crews, selling off needed equipment for profit and to lower maintenance costs, lowering the amount of time and money spent on maintenance (it's already near non-existent for rolling stock like boxcars) and doubling the length of trains while lowering the number of personnel needed to run them. Trains are built so long that the telemetry device on the end that replaced the caboose frequently loses contact with the controlling locomotive and cannot be counted on to engage the brakes in an emergency. All of this is to provide the shareholders with a greater return on their investment. The truth of the matter is that this gutting has a shelf life. The UP will be unsustainable as a business in about 5 years and the shareholders will dump the stock and move to greener pastures. Because of the necessity of the railroads, the federal government will step in and completely finance the rebuilding of the UP at taxpayer expense, and those shareholders will repurchase their dumped stock and make money off of it as it rebounds from what they did to it.

There is no grassroots solution to fix this.

>>12750739
are those fucking plastic boards

>>12751431
It's vinyl siding above some brick. It's a very popular choice for home renovations and builds everywhere.

>>12751431
Vinyl siding. A very popular finish on houses in the US.

>>12751445
>>12751431
>>12751450
vinyl siding will never need painting, where wood siding would need painting every 2-3 years. plus its relatively easy to update colors, textures, styles etc. its a modular style that yuropoors wouldnt know anything about since their houses were built in 1499

>>12751462
Yeah well it also makes your house look like a gypsy shelter.

>>12751125
Kek, never been outside your fly-over state have you? Most European countries have plenty cities that are awake all night. Stop digging your basement cave with a spoon and go outside.

>>12751462
>need painting every 2-3 years
Not if you either hire a quality painter or diy properly. I have brick with wood fascia trim and soffets triple coat brush painted by a quality painter with quality paints and after 10 years the paint is not peeling and still good. But yeah, your average run of the mill paintjob will need redone in a few years and end up costing more while subsidizing shitty workmanship.

could also be good wood too.

>>12751462
>>12751512
it's actually a really shitty material
even properly installed it's not suitable for any areas that have either hail or high winds at least 1 time a year, all it takes is one storm.
and if in an area with a lot of sunlight, will weaken dramatically to the point if someone leans against it, it can crumble and shatter.

it isn't popular because people like it, it's popular because it's what contractors put on the houses.
frankly, the plywood underneath it is a better material.

>>12751554
that siding is missing the underlayment which would help to mitigate this type of damage
that siding also seems very old, old enough to become brittle and crack
siding seems thin as well, cheap chink shit probably from mr seconds

>>12750739
man, how poor do you have to be if the weatherboard cladding of your house is fake

>>12751560
and that's what's installed on nearly every house with vinyl siding, it's the cheapest shit they can get away with.
wartime houses are unironically better built and use massive stones as filler in their foundation that cause cracks and flooding

wood will hold up for hundreds of years if treated properly

i know you have absolutely no knowledge of wood, but seriously, termites? fucking lol.
"wall rot" wich doesnt describe shit, will not occur in most of the northern hemisphere unless you have no windows and never heat your house.

half inch thick plastic boards are the worst and least durable material you can use retards, it will become brittle after exposure to sun, making it weak as a potato chip. it will break if hit by hail, and looks like garbage.

We have brick and while its very durable it's a pain in the ass and real expensive when it has to be repaired. I would take marine board, hardy plank, or vinyl siding over wood frame house any day. Also what was she making?

>>12751595
>it will break if hit by hail
Minnesotan here. We have golfball sized hail once in a while and have to repair roofs. Insurance doesn't bat an eye for home repairs and this shit never fucked up our siding, stop buying cheap shit and replace it. You put your car in the garage because while the windshield will survive, the car will dent.

Goddamn does it hurt getting smacked by one of those.

>>12751607
you poor bastard

Don't termites (and beavers) eat the sap of trees? If they're eating your house, you may need to stop eating so much candy :)

>>12751609
i agree on the car part, but i have replaced hundreds of panels after hail storms.

>>12751595
actually half inch thick plastic boards are great, they use them as shingles sometimes, like having a roof covered in rubber kitchen mats
if vinyl siding was half an inch thick instead of 2mm thick I would zealously defend it for everything except for maybe flammability

>>12751611
checked and keked

>>12751621
Maybe the area I was in didn't get a lot of high wind with the hail. Shit usually came DOWN, hence the roof damage.

>>12751703
yeah I was talking more about the plastic shingles that are solid, they also have semi-hollow ones.

I'd unironically tar a roof using molten plastic, thick and ugly with no curb appeal but lasts longer than I'll live.
molten old car tires would be good too, a lot of the waste we generate and throw away would make far superior building materials to what is commonly used.
even without melting old tires would be great for a roof
I've seen roofs for dog houses made of tire sidewalls, it work's fantastically.
if I ever build a home I'll make it with tire shingles

i'm not a big fag about it, though I do enjoy making fun of the irrational hate
I can get why some people are slightly irked by trips, mostly because their home boards have insufferable ones that try to be e-celebs and pretend they're special
there are a lot of small benefits to using one, like having dumb people auto-filter you so that they never bother you with their being dumb past 2-3 posts and they're gone again
i've even had to explain to those sorts how to do it, I like giving people the option to be rid of me, it's mutually beneficial.
but one of my biggest reasons for using it constantly is that I have always suffered from memory loss problems, which have only gotten worse as I've gotten older.
I originally got the trip to work on some of the 4chan based projects projects I've done and found it helped a lot.

Hey friend, happy for you. But I just want you to know that 220 is still a disgusting obese fuck. I know because that's me right now. You should be aiming for 180ish. Best of luck to you, my highest was 252.

>>12751238
Can confirm. Went from 295 to around 215 in the span of a year. Calf muscles and quadriceps are amazing, lol. Don't eat bread/pasta accept on a rare occasion and drink almost exclusively water and the last 50 will go fast.

>>12751238
you can do it bro. I was 230 last august. Im down to 168 right now. Havent stepped foot in a gym. work out 5/6 days a week. Turn on your activity tracker on your phone. Start slow. just go for a walk, then job, then run. cut down alc for maybe 1 or 2 days a week (was hard for me cuz im an alcoholic). if you smoke bud, try to do it at dinner only so you munch your dinner. dont eat after 8. im rambling but you get the point. It's a marathon, be disciplined. but enjoy yourself, allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted on the weekends and it got to the point where splurging out was disgusting. if you need an idea for some exercises and dont feel comfortable in public yet, use "wakeout"

GOOD LUCK

* freezing cold water
the body has to heat it up on body temperatur with the spezific coefficent of 4,183kJ per kg and Kelvin - so, roughly... you will use 1kcal for each liter of water that your body has to heat up for one Kelvin.
drinking 1l of water with 30°C temp difference will burn up 125kcal
for 3l a day its 375kcal
it has been shown that its most effective when you drink cold water before going to bed

In almost the same position as you except I still weigh more than your starting point. At the beginning of summer I decided I’m done being a fatass and have done a decent job losing weight and going to the gym at least every other day. I relate to everything you said in your post and have lost about 20 pounds since the beginning of May. Still a long way to go since I started off almost 200 pounds overweight. It’s work, but it’s worth it

>>12753530
For me, 180lbs would put me at 1% bodyfat and probably the loss of muscle mass as well. The BMI is a good general guideline, and is usually accurate to within 20-30 lbs, but it isn't a perfect indicator for your own ideal weight. This is a target weight set by my doctor as to what is a safe 12-15% body fat range. Going under 10% is great for short term looks, but terrible for long term health.

So what you're saying is that we should be expecting a massive stock selloff out of UPR in the next few years and buy up as much as possible on the cheap before the inevitable bailout?

>>12754434
it's plastic siding that goes over insulation which in turn goes over the wood

The US government will not allow the railroads to fail. If you think semi-trucks stopping for 24 hours would be bad, trains stopping for 24 hours would be one of the worst cataclysms to ever hit modern society. They will make the railroad work come hell or high water.

>Luckilly I got pissed off enough about my condition that I made some,major changes and am now down to 275lbs

I'm happy for you, keep going!

I haven't been skinny since grade 4? Started a slight swell. Think my healthy weight as a 5 something should be 115, but I'm 130. My problem with exercising is eczema, though I walk everywhere. I avoid stocking up snacks that just makes me fat, I don't buy cases of coke, sometimes when I want to drink it, I buy a case of 6 small can. Don't have ice cream or popsicle in my freezer, just frozen fruit like strawberries I eat half frozen with milk, or pineapples, almost straight out of the fridge.

I find a lot of calories are boredom eating in front of the computer, I've started making veggies with hot sauce my computer snack.

You usually have to repaint the house every 5-7 years.

Apparently not since it can't even handle ambient heat from a grill 4 feet below it. Imagine if you live in a hot state, you'd have to be worried about your house melting every summer.

My house is brick, but the windowframes and porch etc. are wood. I sure as hell couldn't let those go untreated for an entire human lifespan.
What are you people painting your houses with?

>>12758739
lmao. The best paint lasts for 20 years max and that is if you're good at painting.

>>12758739
The fuck are you smoking? Even the best paint jobs using the best quality paints available have to be redone every 10-20 years.

include initial price and upkeep factored over the life of the material as well please.

Don't know what you retards are talking about. The siding where I live in the USA looks like wood but it's actually a fibrous concrete mixture that doesn't rot or...melt.

Actually she turned on all 4 burners to high to pre heat the grill and left it alone for 30-45 min minimum. Damn lucky the house didn't burn down. I wasn't home. She knew to move it away from the house but forgot. She got a phone call and apparently forgot the grill was even going.

Its brick.
You can clean off the discoloring with chemicals or abrasive materials.

I have vinyl siding that woodpeckers pecked holes in and now years later we have sparrows nesting in the holes. it's cute but my mother is getting the siding redone because of it

For the same reason they didn't assume control of GM during the bailout. The congressmen and senators who allocate those funds are shareholders and associates of shareholders themselves. They buy the stock themselves, use taxpayer money to rebuild the system to profitability again, netting themselves a small fortune in the process, and then go on CNN and proudly gloat that they saved the railroads much to the delight of Americans everywhere. Assuming control means assuming risk and accountability. No profit in that.

I don't understand why people waste so much time packing and unpacking every 5 - 7 years to flip a 100 to 500k debt they didn't even pay off yet. It's almost like the house they picked was an overpriced piece of shit covered in pretty paint and glued on cheap plastic fittings and trim.

Do you honestly think they need replacing?

>>12764145
Probably you should read some financial planning literature to fill in the gaps of knowledge you didn't acquire from parents of means or from a college education. You seem like you grew up with lack of knowledge and poor logic skills not based on planning for one's future.

Not neccesarily, my wife and I will probably never buy another house beyond our first one. We waited four years to find a home in the neighborhood we wanted, and since no new single dwelling homes have been built here in the last 80 years its unlikely we will move. Location trumps making money in our situation.

not the same guy but my highest was also 325lbs and I looked like a completely different person. On the right is after I lost 140lbs. It's a genuinely awful feeling to be alive at that sort of weight, and I blame it 100% on my parents teaching me shitty food habits (both of them are fat). As soon as I moved out, the weight started to fall off. I'm convinced there's no way to become that size without having somebody to enable you.

Nah, the steep angle on that roof is for snow, it also provides greater support for vertical pressure than you're used to in warmer climates. It'll be fine with a few goats on it. Great insulation too, very easy to keep warm in winter, cool in summer.

>>12766451
>I'm convinced there's no way to become that size without having somebody to enable you
No, you can do it to yourself, you just have to be in the habit of eating a whole pizza every meal and stuff like that.
My gaming group has a guy like that. A few of us are kind of fat but it's just because we just eat a burger and fries on gaming night and don't work out. He never joins us in ordering, he always orders his own food and gets a whole pizza and maybe some wings or a burger or something as well and obviously he drives everywhere and gets zero exercise. He's huge.
He's just the worst kind of 'murican, if anyone even looks surprised at his food order, he literally talks about it like a patriotic right to eat enough for three people and that offends anyone then he's obviously doing the right thing.

>>12758487

If you get a higher end exterior paint (which you should) it will easily last 10-20 years
