Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

Unbelievably, some folks like the convenience of a “range” at home because they value their time and have a life 👍

I actually only used 5 poles because I installed hooks on the eves/facia of my roof instead of the additional poles. If I had this set up out in the middle of my yard or an open space, I would need 3 poles on the left and right side (6 poles), and a 7th pole in the middle of the front/impact area of the net to keep the it from sagging and hindering my swing at the top and during the follow-through. Hope that explains it a bit better… thx!

@@bluerootproperties9409 you the man thanks for reply this is the first build that my wife was like ok thatl work

@@thelabpack7599 LOL...I hear ya. Happy it was helpful. Good luck and hit em straight - or a draw or fade when you actually want it :)

I used it yesterday after being in hibernation for a few months. A few wolf spiders scared the crap out of me as I got the net out, but it works just as well as the first day I put it together. 👍

lol…Good to hear it was helpful. Hit ‘em well…Thanks!

Agreed, but unfortunately I didn’t have the distance behind me. I was able to use my home roof eves to get the clearance I needed, but obviously someone 6’ or taller will probably be swiping the top net. I don’t mind being close to the impact zone either…Since I can’t see much of the ball flight/path, it teaches me to keep my head still and down through the swing 👍

Thank you!

Good question because it does happen to me too. I haven’t found a solution, other than soap and water. My SkyTrak will have some issues reading the ball’s flight when it gets stupid dirty from the net. However, by the time I notice the problem, I’ve thrown the ball away because I’ve hit it so many times, by that point, that I’m noticing less distance and it’s under performing. I wish I had a better answer for ya.

Because they are accustomed to bull markets, most people find it difficult to handle a decline, but if you know where to look and what to do, you can earn significantly. Yes, depending on how you want to enter and leave.

Given that we are not used to such volatile markets, the fact that the US stock market has been on its longest bull run in history helps to explain the widespread fear and enthusiasm. There are chances if you know where to look, as you noted when I earned more than $780k in the prior ten months. I hired a portfolio advisor because I knew I would need a solid plan to get through these difficult times.

@@danieljackson87 My portfolio has been in the gutter for the entire year, so I started researching new ways to profit in the market, but everything I tried just seemed to miss the mark. Please let us know the name of your financial advisor.

It was run by Julie Anne Hoover, who I learned about and got in touch with thanks to a CNBC interview. Since then, it has served as the point of entry and departure for the games we have emphasized. A search on the internet can be done if tracking is necessary.

Dang…All very good questions 👍 Everything is as it was the first day that I put it together. One “mistake” I made - I set up my pavers stone area for my swing mat in the middle of the net area. I wish I would have placed it more off-center and to the right side, since I’m right handed. When I first started swinging, my backswing and follow-through was brushing the left side of the net and every once and a while hit one of the supports (annoying and distracting). So, I’ve had to shift the right side of my mat off the paver area. Easy fix would be to add another couple pavers to the right side, but the lack of a solid surface under the hitting area is actually a little more “life-like” since the ground out here is relatively soft. No fixes for the rain, yet, other than I’ve contemplated some sort of tarp cover. However, it just doesn’t rain so much that I can’t get out and use it at least once or twice a week. Thank you!

Thank you!

I feel ya…That’s why I had to come up with this 🤣

Thank you! And Nali is doing well with the exception of two knee surgeries this past year. I’d own my own golf course if it wasn’t for the vet bills…but I wouldn’t exchange her for anything 🐾❤️

To get the clothes hanger bolts into the support poles, I just used a tabletop vice to hole the pole tight and a drill bit that was graded to be used on metal. Easy-peasy 👍 Hope that helps!

Thank you very much…Video is old. I’ve gotta get back to work on my swing 🤣

I would probably only add the one on the left corner. I wouldn’t want to add a pole in the middle of the impact area, as I’d be a little nervous of a ricochet should I actually hit one straight 🤣. So, in total, I would have 6 pipes - 3 on each side. However, If I was getting too much sag in the middle on my impact side, I would try to figure out how to add an extension arm on another pole to allow me to hold up the middle without adding the hazard of a ricochet…Hope that makes sense 👍

Very good question…The numbers come from the census. So, they are unlikely including the homeless in their count, and even if they did, it would be a relatively small portion of the increase. As far as folks exiting Seattle, that is certainly happening. However, depending on the statistics you find, some say Seattle is still growing in population, while other reports have a decline. No matter how you slice it, even if the number is more like 50k per year, we still don’t have enough homes immediately available to significantly impact and lower home prices due to a high buyer demand :( Some incentives to sell and build are definitely needed soon before things get more out of hand…

The base under my mat are just concrete pavers from a home improvement store. They were 99 cents a few years ago. Now they are like $2. I made just cleared an area, put down about a half inch of all-purpose or paver sand, and leveled each paver as I went. I then just poured more sand on top of the pavers and worked the sand in between any cracks with a broom. Spray some water over it, and it solidifies up. Never had a problem with it, and they have never shifted or moved. Just gotta spend a little time making sure your base is level and the pavers are level.

@@bluerootproperties9409 I think he meant the bottom of the net you hit into. If not, I was wondering how you keep the worm burners from getting under the net? thanks!

@@nathanlamar300 My bad…Totally misread that comment. Thanks for catching that. I have hit a few lasers that didn’t get off the ground, but no issues. I think it’s because I don’t have a full 10’ of height (since the 10’ poles are set about a half foot into the ground), I ended up (by accident) having some extra net sagging on the ground. I didn’t have to reinforce the area…

@@bluerootproperties9409 Thanks for the reply and still responding after 2 years. I'm going to attempt this in my backyard soon!

Thanks and happy it inspired some thoughts for you…Now that you mention metal on metal noise, I really don’t hear any or perhaps I’m just not bothered by it (if there is any). There is some space between the poles and the pipe. So, if there was noise that bothered me, I would just jam a tee in the space and get back to playing. You could also try wrapping some thin weather stripping around the bottom of the pole…again, if it was an issue. I think the double net on the impact side really absorbs most of the force and subsequent movement in the poles. Best of luck to you.

@@bluerootproperties9409 Right, I was trying to listen for it in the video but there really wasn’t any noise when you hit, so it must be pretty quiet. Thanks for confirming!

I made it myself 🤣

Absolutely…Too bad you want land 🤪😆

Hey Paul…I got my net on Amazon. I put a link in the video description. Unfortunately, I don’t think they are being sold any longer, or perhaps, just not currently in stock…Plus, inflation definitely jacked the price up. 😡👍

I actually bought an “All Turf Mats” off of Amazon. It’s held up really well. Thick pad underneath and the “grass” is dense and strong enough to hold up a tee. The pad itself is pretty darn heavy, and I’ve never had it slip underneath me (but part of that might be due to the fact I have rough concrete pavers underneath it). I never have any concerns about hitting down into it, as the pad underneath is rather substantial.

Well done and CONGRATS! We are definitely trending back to where we have been out here for the past decade…consistently low inventory + high desire to move here = higher appreciation by comparison to most other markets. Your situation is a perfect example of leveraging both markets. A week into April and the median home price is already headed north faster than I expected. So, you’re correct, you’re probably not gonna need rates to get lower than 6%, and you’ll be making that move sooner than later. Bravo and all my best to you! 👍

So much appreciated! ❤️ Thank you!

Thank you, Erica…I loved the home’s layout and use of space. Felt a lot bigger than it’s square footage. Probably one of the reasons it sold so quickly 👍

Thank you for the feedback…Happy it gives you some inspiration. Good luck to ya!

Thank you very much! 👍

Thanks for watching and commenting…I sure hope builders kick into an extra gear out here, but unfortunately, I just don’t think it will/can make much of a dent in supply. Builders out here tend to roll out their homes and lots rather slowly - often taking years to release and build, if lucky, a hundred homes in 2-3+ years. While building costs are definitely lower, labor and it’s availability is still short and expensive. We have a large subdivision going on up in Kingston, but everywhere else’s, it seems like they can only put up a few dozen. Plus it takes 6-9 months to build a home. So, even if every builder decided to start building on every lot tomorrow, it’s still gonna take nearly a year to put people in them. Before every home could be built, rates will likely be headed down, prices will go up since there still won’t be inventory, and the damage will be done :( But, goodness, I hope we figure it out and quickly…

It’s just a Rubbermaid outdoor storage box. Probably around 2’ x 4’. I just found it at one of the big box stores. Nothing fancy 👍

Thanks!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words…❤ Much appreciated!

We’re planning to move to Washington. I’m shopping for a land, and it’s overwhelming. I do have to tell you, that we contacted several realtors in the last two yrs. Most don’t respond. If they do, they don’t have an answer, or I was told ‘google is your best friend’. They’re not very motivated. I should’ve looked on RUclips not Zillow or Redfin.

@@Erica-yr3gf Sorry to hear…Buying Land can be a little intimidating. We actually took the plunge and just bought a few acres. So, if you run into any questions or need any assistance, don’t hesitate to call. 253-448-3330

@@bluerootproperties9409 I’ll text you. Thx Mike

It depends on your net. I would measure the net, rather than trust what the specs for the net say. You want to keep the net from sagging too low, or you are going to hit the top of the net each time you swing. This is why I angled the in-ground pipes away from the middle, as you also have to account for the poles bending from the net’s weight. So, you have to find your net’s “happy-place” with how far it stretches too keep it tight and not sag too much before you place your pipes in the ground. The middle ones are more for adding support and keeping the sag minimal. The net I purchased is pretty heavy, and I found adding the middle supports definitely took the strain off the main supports at the corners. Also, my net was a 10x10x10, but there was almost another half foot added due to the hanging loops at the corners…Hope this helps and good luck!

Holy cow! Where do you get your milk?!? 😆 I appreciate you checking out my video, even if you don’t agree.👍

The net is unfortunately no longer being sold, but here is the old link to it to get more specifics on it. It was a 10x10x10 net. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DX3N0XK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@bluerootproperties9409 thank you

The reason why I went with this monitor was because of its ability and accuracy in measuring spin, shanks, hooks, slices, etc…and it was cheap by comparison to all the other bells and whistles it came with. The only complaint I have with it is - direct sunlight messes with its ability to pick up the ball. I do need to find a way to keep the hitting area and the unit’s “eyes” under shade.

I definitely remember 2008…I was a casualty of it when I made the tough decision to short sale my own home. 2008 was the product of a large home inventory boom, horrible lending practices, and collusion with appraisers. You could walk into a bank and say you make a million dollars, and they would give you a loan without verifying your income or ability to repay. Even I had no business getting the loan that I was approved for at that time… What is vastly different from 2008 and today is there is far greater scrutiny and oversight with lending and appraisals along with an already low inventory going into the recession, errrr “economic downturn”. Sure, if you just bought a home within the last 3-5 months and you lose your job as a result of the economic conditions, you might see some of them short sell, maybe even some foreclosures. However, that will have very little impact on the market as the vast majority of new buyers who purchased “high” did it a year or two ago. The median home price in Washington in January of 2020 (prior to all the rate nonsense and COVID) was $429,000. In January of 2021, the median home price was $509,575. As of October 2022, the median home price is $605,000. So, for the vast majority of home owners in Washington, they still have a boat load of equity. Those who lose their home due to job loss will sell their home and still likely make a profit prior to a foreclosure or a short sale. The Fed has already indicated that they are seeing improvement with inflation. Meanwhile, inventory still remains low as only those who absolutely must sell are coming to market, and people are still buying them. The rest are waiting and sitting on a 2.5 to 3.5 interest rate with zero desire to sell in this market.

@@bluerootproperties9409 it doesn't matter how much equity they have in their house if they still can't make the payments from loosing their job. Many high paying tech companies have cut jobs along with other lower paying businesses. And shame on people that lied about their income when applying for a home back in 2007/2008. I don't wish anyone loosing their home, but I was honest and was able to keep my home during the recession. Maybe being a dishonest person played a role in their demise.

@@bluerootproperties9409 Plus they won't have equity either with the continual price drops.

The households most at risk are the one who purchased between the end of 2021 and mid 2022…They purchased high, and yes, the median home price is now below or getting closer to where they no longer have equity in their homes. However, people underestimate these individuals. These are the people who dipped into or emptied their life savings in order to get their dream home at the 2.5% to 3.5% interest rate. All of them, in order to get financing had to have a minimum of 2 years of the same or similar employment. Therefore, they have tenure in their jobs and a skill set that is more established/experienced in their respective jobs. Therefore, these individuals will (1) be unlikely targets/victims of layoffs and (2) have the skills and abilities to find another one of the over 11,000,000 jobs currently available (along with the fact employers are practically begging for employees). Even if 10% (which is insanely high) of the approximately 50,000 households who purchased between the most vulnerable time were laid off, gave up, never found another job, and decided to short sale or foreclose, it would only amount to about 5,000 homes returning to market…We average between 6,500 and 10,000 new listings a month in Washington. 5,000 foreclosed/short sold homes spread out over the course of the next year would have little impact on the market and subsequent home values. The markets are already responding to signs that inflation might have peeked. Home interest rates this past week made the largest weekly drop since 1981. Not saying this will continue, given interest rates are like a yo-yo, but it is a very positive sign. In the meantime, our new listings have fallen, people are afraid to buy because of doom and gloom predictions, and inventory still remains low…Guess what is going to happen if rates drop (as many predict) between 4-5% in the first or second quarter of 2023? Get your popcorn ready…

@@bluerootproperties9409 I just advise you to have an open mind that there is a probably a depression looming and that home prices don't always go up during times of hardship .Take it how you want.
