Any of y'all have a 2nd house?

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

My parents have a second house in gatlinburg. It doesn't have cable or the internet, so any time there is a sporting event I am hesitant to go down there because it means I have to wade thru tennessee and alabama fans at the brewery, three jimmys, park grille or greenbriar to catch a game.

Would I be like that weirdo that splits the netflix tab with his dad if I offered to split the cost of an internet package with them? I can just watch anything I want on an xbox or chromecast so all i need is internet.

TIA.

Go tie yourself to a tree and pour honey on your head, Lars.

What kind of cell signal do you get there? Good enough for a hotspot?

The bathroom is the only decent spot.

Don't know much about eastern Tennessee cable TV tiers, but I wonder if it's cheaper to get a basic tv package or good enough to stream Internet?

Do they have DirecTV? If so, they could have DTV put a Dish on that house and have a box down there and keep it on just one bill. We do it and it works out really well.

No. We both have TWC.

Most people call those "cabins" instead of 2nd homes. Your "poors" is showing.

I didn't want to exclude people who might have a beach house, etc. I did, however, want to exclude you, which is why I put "2nd." Since you don't even own one property I never even dreamt that you would leave your 500,000th climate change thread.

Well hopefully you'll be the last generation living without running water or electricity. I'm glad you have a library nearby with which to share your stories with us, though. It's not everyday I get to talk to the Amish.

You guys. [laughing] I love The Paddock.

A second home in Tennessee? Single or double wide?

Most people who own a "2nd home in Tennessee" will only own it until the price for scrap aluminum goes back up. After that they strip the siding off and burn the rest.

I seem to be lost, if this were really the Paddock, someone would have replied "13 homes .. and counting" by now.

 

[neilborders]

I think that having a 2nd home is a requirement for Paddock posting.

 

[jwheat]

I'm actually on my thirteenth home....and counting. Tell your poor *** parents if they want I can take it off their hands and maybe then we can get some internet in that Beyonce

 

[KentuckyStout]

Yes, I have a second house - to poop in.

 

[GhostVol]

Yes, I'm PAYING for a second house. My ex-wife lives in it tho.

 

[LordEgg_rivals16573]

i had two at one time, but then i sold one. i didn't mean to have two homes, its just that i moved and couldn't sell one as quickly as i liked. what a pain in the ***.

Exactly, and we don't count mere... cabins.

 

[UKGrad93]

Why not pay the whole cost for internet or TV service? Your parents are paying the cost of the cabin and I assume do not charge you rent to use it.

 

[cantstandthecards]

When it comes time to do my taxes, I get to claim my fifth wheel camper as a second home!

 

[starchief]

Do motorhomes count?

As someone already mentioned, step up and cover the bill for your parents. I doubt they are charging you for staying, and this might be a nice way of saying thank you for allowing the use of the cabin. It's probably only something like $1200 a year. You'd probably drop that in a weekend or two in Gatlinburg if you were having to cover your own cabin rental.

Don't forget to hit dad up for his share of Netflix.
