Frank's home buying adventures

47 to 59 is not bad at all in the AM unless there's a wreck or something else out of the norm. Even with the construction its not bad, IMO. Past Barrington Rd is where it gets FUBAR.

You get caught in the one this morning?

Anything with a communte of less than an hour I'm content with. I'll buy some sort of beater to shoot to and from so the mileage doesn't matter to me. Its the time.

Honestly what I was thinking. I went from Lakewood to Great Lakes every day on 176. There are a couple slow downs but honestly it's not THAT bad. The time spent sitting in 176 traffic versus having to go south, take 90, and then come back north, you may as well just sit on 176 the whole way.

Might I also add, the huge hang up was at 176/Fairfield (east of Wauconda) when it was one lane both ways. It's now a huge 4 lane road in every direction so it will help alleviate that.

The hold ups on 176 are the clusterfuck of construction at 176/14 right now but they're widening it so that should alleviate a lot of it, Wauconda at the 12 underpass, and in Wauconda where Old Barrington Road starts/ends at 176. A lot of the slow downs have been alleviated with wider roads and different traffic patterns. The old 5-way at 176/31 used to be a fucking c u n t before they completely tore that shitshow apart and put 2 lanes in every direction with dedicated turn lanes.

Surprisingly it's ok. I mean you get your normal day to day women and assholes but it's always moving. I don't think I've ever actually been dead stopped and had to wait on 176 like most rush hours. I think 14 is the more traveled route. 14 is a fucking clusterfuck during rush hour.

That's pretty cool, but I don't think I'll be owning a SxS anytime soon. If anything, I'd prefer some local access to snowmobile trails.

Didn't read the whole thread but those saying Wisconsin, depending on how much outlaw makes the state income tax will off set the property tax pretty quick 29k to 325k bracket 6.27% income tax, Illinois - 2.5%

How does that work though? Do I pay Illinois income tax and then a penalty to Wisconsin? It's not a double-dip AFAIK, but I know there's something owed to the state in which you reside.

The people I work with that live in Indiana pay Indiana state tax and not Illinois might be different per state

Another one with a nice sized garage for my truck and El Malo... Main concern is garage door/ceiling height to fit my F350 inside. I can put a wider door on that shed to fit sleds/ATV's in.
