It was built as a fallout shelter in 1983.

It has been through several owners and is currently on the market for 2.75 million.

I've seen that place before but didn't know where it was. Pretty neat place. My roof is getting bad in some places. I just replaced one section on Friday. It had begun to leak. Did I just bring the value of my home down?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

That is different, looks like a neat place to visit. I don't think owning it is in my future though. Lol

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Roof leaks are in Tim.

I noticed the HVAC system runs all the time. I had heard years ago they had significant humidity problems. The cave has a big spring that runs under the floor.

In the back you can still explore the old cave. It has a water purification system back there.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Hmm. I have skinned knuckles but I'm no cave man. ;)

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I'd need a mortgage at that price and I don't want no more o' that in my future! I guess I'll have to find my own cave to sleep in. If I was a bear I'd hire a good lawyer and claim my right to the place as ancestral habitat.

I had my buddy Gus (grandson) over on Sunday. I lost my camera, so no pictures, but we set up a Hot Wheels triple track out back. Two were side by side to start out, then went different ways. The one was the long long run that sent a car that made it all the way off a terrace wall almost to the house... about 30'. The other took a sharp curve to what he called the car wash. Off another chair was the third. That one crossed paths with the long run, then curved back over into other curves. I... er he really enjoyed it. Ok, we both did. He wanted to leave it set up, but we'll do it better next time. I have a lot of track!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

At the wedding in the cave Saturday, my grandsons, 5 and 6, had a launcher for Matchbox cars. They set up plastic wine glasses (is there such a thing?) like bowling pins and played bowling, launching the car into the pins.

We had fun too.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

:lol:

Plastic wine glasses are for drinking wine that comes in plastic bottles. Wait, who needs a glass for that? Oh yeah, formal occasion.

Sounds fun. The car wash was one of those igniter things with no batteries. He's a smart kid. Came up with car wash from the big spongy wheels the cars pass through. Time to buy some D cells. There are two of those and it's going to be an inside thing before long

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

It's been a year since I started my Lymphoma treatments. I think I'm strong enough to go for a putt now. So I gave it a quickie wash and going to give it a try.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

seems like summer is never going to end here so enjoy the ride!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I Hope you enjoyed your Ride! You deserve it, my Doctor told me when I had Cancer " If you can Kick Start it you can Ride IT!" He knew I had a Ol Shovelhead Chopper with Kick Start Only. I went out to the Garage and tried it every day until I could start it on one Kick. I only rode it for a hour but what a Ride it was.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I hope you had a good ride Dale. It rained all day here.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Dale started me thinking about riding. I don't have many pictures on this computer, but here's one from several years ago.. This is my old shovelhead somewhere in South Dakota or Montana probably.

That bike makes me look fat?

Uh, I think the fat makes me look fat.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Where is my LIKE Button when I need it!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

HA, my attorney still has the shovelhead and it's in his will.

I filed suit to collect money for a job, and during the procedures he told me he had a client that had a motorcycle he would like to have. I didn't know he was talking about me.

WE won the case and I asked him how much I owed him. He said "What do you want for that shovelhead." I told him and he said "You know that is exactly what my bill is."

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I hope you had a great ride, Dale. Always feels good to get back in the saddle once you've reunited as one after a spell without.

Love that FL, Larry. Just the way I like 'em. I had a blue and white '66 I stripped down like that. Sure do miss it.

My '90 FLST. I always look fatter on the bike

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Are all Challengers orange?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Only the good ones .

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

No, only 1/2 of them.

So we got that rain on Friday. Around 9pm we had a torrential rainfall here. I just did a metal roof over one section off my bedroom window, over my son's room. It was so loud it had me wondering if I made a mistake. I liked the idea of gaining that rain on a tin roof effect, but this was some kind of loud!

So I go into town yesterday and driving by the farm I took the wagon ride with my grandson on I notice a lot of activity going on, trucks along the lane no cars at the produce stand. Then I see the entire roof was off the old post & beam barn... rafters and all! A big chunk of roof was missing from the building the produce market is in as well. The road that edges the farm at my end was blocked off by state roads trucks. I googled the farm and got nothing about storm damage, then I searched Mt Airy wind damage and got news reports from both the Baltimore and Washington, DC news channels. If it wasn't a tornado it missed a damn good chance. Not far toward town on the same road is a shopping center with a Home Goods/TJ Maxx side by side. I had just been to the grocery store in that center and noticed plywood over one section of window at Home Goods and wondered if they had closed down. Parking lot was empty, except a couple county sheriffs' vehicles. In the news it was all about the roof torn off/giving out on those two stores, a trailer park with lots of tree damage, and that closed off road having lots of downed trees. Just two weeks ago I was taking a relaxing hay wagon ride with my grandson on that farm. Now they are shut down and in bad shape. Weird thing was, I didn't see any of that big barn roof anywhere in sight in those open fields. Where that farm sits is just east over the ridge (Parrs Ridge). On the ridge you can see Catoctin Mt 20+ miles away. Parr's ridge is the divide of the piedmont... highest point.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Tim I think ya'll are getting more significant storm weather over there than you did 10 years ago. Some years ago I saw on tv a tornado warning had been issued for your area and thought how unusual for your area. I think I then sent you a message to keep an eye on the clouds. Surprised you too.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I guess I didn’t realize you all got tornadoes in your part of the country. Not just a Kansas phenomenon.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I didn't realize it either..scary

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Yeah, not like on the plains where two major air streams mash. More like localized I guess. I never heard of tornados when I was a kid and many years beyond. Maybe up in the mountains one would kick up and ride a ridge for a short distance. It seems a lot more violent winds are occurring for sure.

Amazon built a distribution center on the old site of Bethlehem Steel East side of Baltimore. Pretty new thing. They had a wind damage and two people died.
