We're having a band play in our backyard and most of the weather sites say scattered showers, but I know how they are usually wrong.  Anyways, just wondering if you think it is because I'm trying to figure out if I should spend $100 to rent a 20 by 20 foot tent for the band to play under.

The most accurate place to get your weather forecast information would be the National Weather Service.\nhttp://nws.noaa.gov/

There is always a place for something new! If you came out with a CD i'd buy it! I'm always into something new! I love country and Rock, Your style (evenescense) I really like that kind of stuff! Not so much Rap it gives me a headache sometimes! If you've come out with a demo tape that is pretty cool but if you feel your good and you get good reviews then go for it! Try it! Nothing says that you can't try! You tried to make a band and you have one now don't you? Good Luck and hope you make it! I'll be sure to get your CD =) Just fill me in when it comes out if I don't see your music videos lol =)

I would appeal to the landlord if he could do it before hand. \n\nSummer tecnically doesn't start until the 21st.  So he hasn't done anything wrong. \n\nHere in canada, the rental landlords turn the air on June 1st, so there have been a few really hot & humid days, that I have had air on, & felt sorry for those renters unable to use it. \n\nUse swimming pools or your tub to cool them down, dress lightly, and buy some fans for the rooms until it is installed. \n\ngood luck to you.

that's not the thought that came to me mind when you said golden shower.  Just goes to show you how warped I am, lol.\nstanding in the rain when the sun's out sounds pretty harmless to me. Sure, I'd take a <snicker> "golden shower" if the sun rain is what we're talking about. other then that: hell no!

Midwest, but work keeps getting in the way.  They won't let me run out to see if the cloud cover has gone away (we are expecting rain) and stay out to watch LOL\n************update************\nThe snow is a real bummer!  It keeps getting in my eyes.  Ya know, out of the 10 years or so I have been trying this shower I have only goten to see it once.  I am gonna give up here in another decade or so (or arrange to be in another location!)

Dress up.  They probably won't want to rent a nice big house to a bunch of college guys.  My other BIG suggestion is writing up a rental agreement between you and your friends.  In there, you need to have stuff about how you're splitting the bills, what penalties if they're not paid on time. how you're dividing chores, rent, maintenance issues that come up with the house that the landlord won't fix or that you want to fix on your own.  Also, what happens if someone loses their job, etc.  One of my roommates lost his job and was out of work for 2 months.  We had to come up with a bunch of money to cover his share and his lazy butt didn't do any chores around the house while he was out of work, either.  Cover your butt and put everything in writing so nothing comes between friends.  Also, go to an office cupply store and get a receipt book.  Every time a bill is due, write everyone receipts as they pay their share.  This will help avoid confusion as to who paid what and who hasn't paid yet.  This gets really confusing as time goes on.  While inspecting the house, look at the ceilings.  If there are brown discolorations, that means there are plumbing problems causeing leaks.  Look for any cracks in the walls as this indicated foudation problems.  See if any doors won't shut or windows that won't open.  Also, go look at the thermostat.  If the thermostat has to be running at 90 degrees to keep the house at 70 during the winter, your untility bills are going to be HUGE.  If you're in a warm area, switch the scenario with the same result.  Long response, I know, but I hope it helps.

I agree with those that say about $100-150 a year.  It is so worth it.  You never know when something will happen through no fault of your own.  If there is a leak in the roof, or a pipe bursts, you'll be covered and will get your items replaced.  Your landlord's policy only covers the building, and does not provide ANY coverage for your belongings.

I heard a couple of days ago that the Northwest had experienced 24 straight days of rain. That would do it for me. Seriously, I can tell a huge difference in my mood based cloudy vs. sunshine.

Woah!  Stay inside, try to have your car in an elevated area or a garage, and put sandbags near your doors if water leaks under them.  We're supposed to get crazy thunderstorms and hail this afternoon, with tons of rain, too.  Good luck!

If all expenses were paid... YES!!!!  I don't understand why you wouldn't.  It would be an amazing experience.  I would only go with the best leaders who could understand the weather and those types of elements.  I know there would be risk, but I would have trouble saying no to that opportunity.

Let your friends do whatever they want as long as they aren't in your way.  I guess the same goes for your girlfriend.  I know about the car splashing and out of harms way, but whatever is comfortable for you.  How often do cars go on the sidewalk anyway?  Not everyday is a rainy day, so you don't have to worry about splashing.  Don't forget you have to look out for yourself too.  Do you really want to get splashed with rain water?

I would go with a dome tent, they're easy for one person to erect and you can find them in just about any size you might need. After one is up it's more stable than other tents. After a week long camping trip in Big Bend National Park there was a major storm during the night, next morning dome tents were the only ones standing, impressed me.

When my husband and I moved in together we rented a town house in a town that has 20,000 people, double that with college students. We moved into a town house that doesn't allow college students, the water and garbage was included. It was a 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, not sure of the size, but it was decent. It cost us $550 a month. Then after that we moved to a house about 15 miles away in a town of 800, it was a 3 bedroom house, 2 bathrooms, 1 car garage and a really nice fenced in yard, it was about twice the size, but none of the utilites were included and we only paid $310 a month...It just shows how much cheaper a place is in a smaller town. By the way we live in west central illinois, about 1 1/2 from the Mississippi river...

You can thank the upper-air weather pattern for all the rain. I'm a storm chaser from Texas and these blocked patterns (upper ridge over the Rockies and upper trough over the Atlantic states) spell disaster for us looking for tornadoes across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We constantly stay dry, and you guys constantly stay wet. Until the pattern changes to a more traditional West to East flow and can kick these blocked troughs / ridges out of here, we're in for more of the same.

Wow, right close to home.  I'm in Albemarle and I go to the Uwharries a lot.  I do a lot of wilderness camping so a lot of the times I'm off the trails.  I know they have one campground called Yates Place Campground and it's a pretty good spot.  Most of the time you can walk along the Uwharrie trail and there'll be spots along the trail that others have camped at.  There you can find flat ground, usually cleaned up from debris, as well as fire rings already made.  That tends to work out well too.  If you have anymore questions, just shoot me an email!

I live in Houston and while the cost of living is okay, the traffic is a Nightmare from Hell and the summers (May to October) are so hot and humid, it's almost unbearable outdoors. Even today, in January, it's almost 80 degrees, hot and sunny outside.  The hurricane doesn't hurt us much, but the resultant flooding even from mild thunderstorms is usually BAD....leaving many many streets impassable for hours to days.  Mold is an issue, yeah, and the insurance is high because people who clean up mold charge you a fortune (even though it almost never cleans up satisfactorily and you are still left with something that will eventually be uninhabitable).  Many houses are not built to protect from mold in the interior walls, and many lawsuits result from that. \nIf you're not actually going to live here, maybe it's a good investment, but you will probably want to have it appraised and make sure it's not in a flood zone, because you'd have to warn the buyers it will flood and they'll back out of the deal.  You might be better off investing in New Orleans, because eventually those areas will be worth more money, if they are near worthless now.  Whether the investment in Katy will pay off eventually, who can tell. \nThere are a lot of negatives to living in Houston. I'm hoping to be moving soon.

My kids would love it there. But you can't control the weather, so sorry that you you don't want rain. Snow is awesome. Why don't you just decorate the hell out of your house and yard. They have fake snow and cool stuff like that.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne more time, YOU can not control the weather!!!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
