Sandston isn't ghetto.

I went there quite a few times during the years I lived in Sandston. It's made to order and really good but because it's freshly cooked it can be really greasy. The fries and onion rings are good too.

There’s another Wawa coming to Sandston at the corner of Drybridge Road and Route 60 just outside the town itself.

Given the amount of variables (age, zip code, education levels, marital status, credit score, coverage limits, etc) that go into insurance pricing you're not going to get an accurate idea of cost this way. Your best bet is to do what a few others have said and take the time to call around to various companies and get quotes. Some companies offer a decent discount for paying in full for the year too if you're able to afford the full cost up front. I've done this for years and it's saved me a lot.

This is probably the best route since OP won’t be using much for just the stove. I have propane now for my stove and tankless hot water heater. I’ve got a 120 gallon tank that only needs filling every 4-5 months. (And when I say filling it’s maybe 65 gallons put in.) And then you don’t have to deal with Richmond Gas Works which I can tell you from personal experience at my old house is a total shit show.

And if you live in an apartment/condo leave a phone number with your neighbor that you can be reached at in case there’s an emergency.

My mom’s condo had water leaking in after the neighbor’s hot water heater leaked over the holiday while she was out of town and we couldn’t reach her until the following business day which was like two days a later when we could finally reach someone at her office to get them to call her for us.

IKEA really is the way to go. I've got exactly the same pieces you're looking for in my house and it's all held up for close to ten years now. The dresser at least has survived two moves and the other stuff, one.

More like the desperation of spending day after day of your life ( (for like well over a year now at least) standing around holding a sign that says this is really embarrassing.

There's a similar law here but it's 40 feet. These folks were out in the parking lot. I didn't pay attention this morning but at my old polling place there was a sign and I believe a line on the sidewalk showing how far away they needed to stay.

At my polling place Republicans had a tent out inviting people to join the party along with a sign about why they should vote Republican filled with your usual list of buzzwords that scare/rile up their base. Democrats had nothing.

The Eastern Shore is fun.

I’ve run the numbers for curiosity sake and our payment would have been roughly $700 more a month if we locked in at today’s rates. And that doesn’t factor in the higher price our builder is now charging for our model.

We ended up at 2.875 and had it not been for a couple small material construction delays we probably could have gotten it slightly lower. We’ve done a few refi’s over the years on the other houses we’ve owned and while they were relatively easy I’m glad to not have to deal with that down the road either.

Reading this only makes me feel better that we sold our house and built new last year. We had initially thought about waiting a few more years but then circumstances came together and we jumped on it. We locked in a below 3% rate and we never would have been able to afford what we have now if we had waited another year or more with rates being what they are.

On the flip side, we bought our first house in 2006 and got hosed when the housing market collapsed, selling it for a significant loss in 2014. So this sort of made up for it.

My cousin just got married at Hanover Arts & Activities Center weekend before last. I'm not exactly sure of the cost but much of their wedding was DIY to save money and his new wife said the venue wasn't that expensive. They had theirs outside in front of the building owing to how nice the weather was that day but would have done it indoors had it not been.

Hurricane did a great job for me last year and their price was about 20% lower than the other companies I got quotes from. Highly recommended.

Good luck getting them to fix it. It took me over a year after I sold my house to get them to close my account out and stop sending me bills. It took reaching out over Twitter, the city councilman's office for the district I work in, and emails to people in the mayor's office and the head of DPU herself before they finally took care of it.

If they refuse or give you a hard time canceling file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office of Consumer Protection:
