I always tell people who are thinking about buying property up north, "the more you plan to use it and be up north, the more you should think about buying". Just like the rule of thumb for buying vs renting any house. Rent if it is short term, buy if it is long term. I have paid $100k in...

Even though I own a place on a lake, I know I would still enjoy a house/cabin that was not on a lake. Simply trailer to a lake once or twice a week. You will not get the price appreciation on a lake house, but I do not think you will lose money,and you still will enjoy the Northwoods as much as...

What is price for Black Oak Inn? Sounds like Land O Lakes has good fish places.

Was lucky to afford my vacation property (cottage) on Minocqua chain in 1994 at age 27 for $140k. People thought I was crazy as it was just a cottage. Built a home on it and approaching one million right now. Almost as good as my investment in Apple! Nothing like being out on your boat and...

It is an added on heating pad put under seat with a control switch. Used to work fine in early years, but have not used in much in past 5 years.

It seems to be working normal again. Middle position is off and no light. Upper position is high heat (red). Lower position is low heat (green). How does one disconnect this switch? I dont use the heater at all. Can one just snip the wires that go to the switch?

Sometime there will be light on for all 3 positions. Sometimes no lights at all. I think the middle position is "off". Push up for high. Push it down for low, This is like a boat switch, like high fan, up, middle is off, low fan is down. That is what I orignally thought the settings were and...

I just checked it again in garage, if i move switch all the way down, no light at all . If I move it to middle position, light red light, if I move it all the way up, bright red light.....Maybe I am wrong in thinking the middle switch is "off".

Attached is a guage my mechanic installed on my skidoo 12 years ago for a heater we put under my seat. The guage has 3 settings. I know for a fact the top setting is max heat. I always thought the middle switch was for "off", and the lower switch being "low heat". In my garage now, I...

I know what you mean about cedar wood turning grey, as a section of my dock has turned grey, but the house siding has no grey at all... House was made by Custom Components, and was prestained when purchased. Have put " cetol 2/3" stain coats on it about 3 times since 2000. Sides are darker than...

My house is 25 years old, build with new cedar siding. I stained the house around 3 times so far, every 4 years at the beginning. But have not stained it in about 10 years. I do wash the siding each year with a house wash and house. The siding does seem to be holding up well, has darkened...

What are prices on new yamaha jet boats? I see the other vendor (Scarab) now is charging about $37k for a new 155 boat...I paid $14k for the new sea doo. This is insane.

I bought it new in 2012, the last model seadoo jet boat made. Still have original impleller and o-ring. Maintained every year. However, have had two twigs stuck in past two weeks, and have gone years without twig problems. I put boat on lift and go inside with long screwdriver to get out the...

I have a 2012 orange sea doo sporters 155, 220 hours and running great. How many hours can I expect to get on this boat? I hardly ever go over 20 mph on it....just general lake cruising.
