AVENGERS COMPOUND (MINUS THE WARDS):

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and we've had a good run with free rent and utilities and everything, but if the military is gone and they were bankrolling everything like our paperwork, what are the odds these places are still set up to be rent and utility free?

We should probably think of some kind of contingency plan. I've got a bunch saved from not having to pay rent, but at some point, that's going to run low. Anyone got any ideas?

	Get Steve to start a vlog where he just talks about whatever he wants, but he's wearing his running shirt. Could be a money maker. Seriously, it kind of occurred to me and then I lost track of it again with everything else we don't know. How much does this place even cost to run? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Minus the shirt and you might be onto something. Not a damn clue. Probably a good idea to check how much wattage we use a month and check with the highest electric company just to make sure on that one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The old "leave it up to the imagination, but make it really easy to imagine" route probably doesn't vibe too well with the instant gratification of the internet these days.

Yeah. I assume the military probably owned a bunch of land or something, I don't know what would happen with that. It would probably still be on the government books somewhere. Something to check just in case. At least no one here's really using the lab, because that's got to be a huge power drain. But power, gas, water, maybe rent or mortgage, maybe home insurance of some kind.

	They all wanna see that dorito. Property taxes. Food. Clothing. Cars. Auto insurance. Maintenance on the house and vehicles. Gas. You wishing you moved in with me yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm really glad I already know what that means. Least we've got more people to split it between here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It'd be real interesting trying to explain that. Saving grace really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I probably would've assumed you were talking about his dick, honestly. I guess this is all stuff that needs to be chased up during office hours. How do you even find out which companies you got accounts with if you don't know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm. You got a delibird that looks like your old costume. That one you keep in the back of the closet. You get to fly around with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nah, if you're not putting out you're just a cam boy. For real though, this ain't nothing we haven't done before. I spent all of college and a year and a half of high school raising two teenagers, I think I can remember a few ways to cut costs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It could fall under portal work. Transferring money between dimensions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just reach into that portal and bring back a fistful of cash. We could probably get Stark to do it, seems like something he'd do. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	With the plants I brought back from our cruise, I can expand the gardens further, and we can become more self-sustaining when it comes to produce, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All laughs aside, I can come up with something that'll make the place self sufficient, electricity-wise, so not only will we not have to worry about paying that bill, it'll be clean. This is the kind of stuff Tony and I do in our sleep. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	We'll need to look into laws regarding taking a house off the grid like that. I know that some places refuse to let you keep barrels for rainwater. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Everything seems to have been stalled. There are no new cases at the station, and my case work is still the same as I had before. No one has yelled at me for being three months late. It's like the whole town just froze and got jumpstarted when we came back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	docbrucebanner 2018-04-12 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	I'd still like to give it a try, going off grid. Not only will it be easy on our bills, but it's better for the environment. (Reply to this) (Parent)
