I got a big flat rectangular plot, 4 big maples out front, one off the side of the house. Slap the hydrostatic drive lock in full speed, throttle up to 100%, pop the magnetic deck drive, and an hour later I'm done. 25 horse, 50" deck
I've had plenty of positive encounters with police. (In fact, most) but there is a police brutality problem, and it needs to be addressed if the public is to continue trusting this group of public servants with the power they wield.
I think this is all overkill for 2 acres and Columbus snow. I got a used 25 horse 50" mower for a few hundred and it knocks out my 3+1/2 acres in about an hour. I bought a little 5 horse craftsman snow blower with tank tracks for less than 100, It knocks out my horse shoe driveway in 45 mins with a foot or so of accumulation.
The good Realtors were there giving good advice. Then you got slimy real estate agents like asa Cox who promise $100,000 homes for zero down and 300 a month, and her clients are 95% in foreclosure...
The listing agency has a contract for 7%, why would they accept less?The listing agent gets a couple, the listing agency gets some, and the buyers agent gets a little. But there is no reason the listing agency would give any back if the offer was for less.
As stated before, as a buyer it costs nothing, the seller has already agreed to pay when they listed with the agent. The only exception is if you find a fsbo home, in which case you're not going to ask a Realtor to show you this home because they would get no commission.
Iirc there are "bumper" laws for cars in Ohio, states your bumper must be within a certain range of height from the ground. I seem to also remember trucks being exempt.
