Just heard a crazy story...

Friends buying new construction. Go in for the walkthrough & smell pot. Get to the kitchen, oven is on. Somebody's drying weed in the oven. When they go upstairs they hear people hiding in the closet, so they leave and decide to come back the next day.

Well the people must have panicked assuming the cops would get called. They trashed the bathroom trying to flush it all down the toilet.

Luckily they hadn't closed yet, so it's still the builder's problem.

I wonder if this is a common thing for these people, breaking into new construction to dry weed. Seems weird.

Most of the time when I see new construction in my neighborhood, it's fenced off with security cameras/alarms.

Now, when they go to sell, the are legally obligated to disclose the premises were used to process illegal drugs.

Did you guys ever get into planting trees but then start overthinking everything? It's like a jigsaw puzzle all the ways a tree should NOT be placed. We have two acres with a lot of trees already, so there's:

  1. Not enough light from other tree cover
  2. Would encroach on other trees' root systems
  3. Too near the septic mound
  4. Too wet an area
  5. Not close enough to pairing fruit tree

Ahhh!

In the 90s there was an older Chris Craft cabin cruiser for sale in the Monterey yacht harbor. I got interested in it and talked to the Harbor master about it. He told me the deceased owner was a notorious pot smuggler and with the coast guards zero tolerance policy the chances that it could be confiscated because of hidden stashes being discovered made it just not worth the investment

Not if they don't tell their listing agent. Sellers have no disclosure obligations in NC. You can just run down the sheet and check "no representation" to everything.

Agents have an obligation to disclose.

My sister and her husband almost burned down their cottage a few years ago. They hadn’t visited it in a few months and some squirrels somehow got into the kitchen and found a way to get into the broiler. They put a bunch of acorns and seeds inside and my sister turned the it on without checking and stepped away only to smell them burning a minute or two later and see smoke pouring out of the bottom of the oven.

I've seen bears grazing for roasted acorns after a forest fire, maybe the squirrels were just toasting their nuts.

Most of the time when I see new construction in my neighborhood, it's fenced off with security cameras/alarms.
It's the only way to keep out the weed dryers.
