Had to be a previously banned member. The third person schtick plus the dinosaur thing was just weird.I too wonder where that thread went.
Not so much that it is gone.
I'm more interested in why it has been displaced.

We still use lawyers here in NY too, but we're one of the few states that still does. We have "Abstract of titles" that contain all the deeds of everyone who has ever owned it. Some of the old original ones are fascinating, and are filled with racism and bigotry galore. Like "no Irish allowed to ever own this home", and all the neighborhoods were divided by nationality back in the day. There's sometimes peoples wills included in the abstract. Most other states use title companies now. I honestly know much less about them! My lawyer just charged me $750 to handle my rentals sale, but of course there are a shit ton of other taxes and charges...everyone has their hand out. Then I'll get nailed on capitol gains taxes too.damn it's like a grand in Lawyer fees to buy a house here.

MOTO, NOT F'ING MOLTO....I HATE THAT......MAYBE I SHOULD DO ANOTHER WHACK.I was gonna include tax man. He's taken pretty big bites over the years.......no bad know...........we're "old farts). He's such a nasty subject. He'll, those guys will flip you upside down and bang your head in the road to get a gold tooth out.Us either except for the tax collector that hits us up every year for the privilege of living in a house, on land I've already paid for.
And driving cars that are paid for. . .
The list goes on.
Just got one, planted by lake....same damn pumpkinSpent time with friends tonight who I thought I might have lost. Oh and this happened in the garden.
It use to be a tradition somewhere, to paint your front door red when the mortgage got paid off. Maybe England???mortgage burning parties must be a Canadian thing judging from the laughing reactions.
A good trick...Mix different color stains to come up with the perfect color. Grab a spare clean board for experimenting. It works well.Hoped that my local hardware store would have the stain similar to the aquarium stand, but no. It shows they have it online, guess they don't keep track of it, SO I get to do a 30 mile round trip to HD tomorrow. So much for setting up the aquarium today.
Called the mortgage company, done deal, should show paid in full by Monday!
I think I'm just going to paint it satin black after prepping the wood. If I can't find a quart I'll just use rattle cans, I'm pretty good with them.A good trick...Mix different color stains to come up with the perfect color. Grab a spare clean board for experimenting. It works well.
Thats was an old hobby. Buy a nice piece of furniture with the top marred at the thrift store, strip it down, re-match the color of the stain, and refinish.
