I am getting the idea from this thread that the company you want to get a quote from should include in its name "Garcia", "Rodriguez", "Gomez" and such and to avoid ones that include "Smith",...

I guess seattle has much rougher weather than PDX....but at $25K I'd be thinking about painting myself too....but then it would look like I painted it myself! I am scratching my head at those two...

A friend of mine is SoCal with a 6000 sqft luxury home told me he had his painted 2yrs ago for $6000, house and trim. Was stucco so not sure if that makes a big difference. Weathering and...

3 house sample in neighborhood - 4000 sqft 2 story houses with 2 coats spray with fold back, hand paint all trim. No windows painted. Cedar Plank siding, pressure washed and taped off prep. Using...

$25K sounds high unless you have some special paint or requests for the job!

You doing an open invite with password again this year or is this changing to PM only?

Sweet views....but in this case it does come up often....been trying to sell it since 2014 starting at $4.5M!

14 years ago....boy we sure lived in different times!

You sound angry...hope your night turns around.

Not a partisan issue....its reality.

As they should...this is official promise and policy for the next 3 years:

Makes you think twice about waiving your right to trial for arbitration....Still a rare thing to happen like this.

I saw this a couple days ago....very interesting....Ruble has recovered and THEN SOME post Ukraine. Also heard that they are selling more oil than pre-war but haven't confirm. All this activity...

Except the equipment that runs off fossil fuels cannot switch to the cheapest fuel on a daily basis...theory, meet reality!

I disagree....the current administration said it in their campaign and repeated in in recent days...."WE WILL GET RID OF FOSSIL FUELS" So expect more of the same.

Keep in mind we were paint a 7 handle for months before the russian invasion and embargo....

You never know....people locking in that 6% rate today might be looking good a year+ out....

Hold your nose and throw the money in....fast forward 3-5yrs and look back and laugh one way or another.

Arbitration ruling comes back to bite insurer in ridiculous settlement:

That is true....I am not 70 like a lot of you.

In my lifetime bull cycles have always lasted around 8 yrs...this one is overdue by 6 yrs. Hold on to your hats.

That's nice....but my short position is still up 25% since dec and my OPINION is that TLT is going lower in the future.

I've been short the 20yr since december and will continue to hold. +25% since...I think we will see rates in the 6-10% range. This is Jimmy Carter 2.0. Not because of what has happened, but because...

Hedge oil/gas prices by buying XOM/CVX/DVN....its not too late.

I remember it was clarified at the start of this thread that no one was complaining about fuel prices....just complaining about those complaining about fuel prices....seems we've crossed that bridge...

Nah...I plan to buy one of those solar run cars....

Not Biden's fault at all. Greedy Oil companies....I mean Biden ran on the promise that he would embrace fossil fuels and try to make American energy independent....

Sounds like you are finally agreeing with my point.

Have a nice day.

Good find and advice. I had a similar problem on my sliding glass doors when I found weep holes via YouTube and blew the crud out.

Other cultures "manage to make it work"? Yes you can make one pair of underpants over a a month work too, but why?

Skiing is a luxury too...live and let live man.

There is much more to housing than "status". Not everyone wants to live on top of each other....whether in a neighborhood or the same structure. Space reduces and can eliminates conflicts.

I don't know....if I had 1.875% I'd NEVER pay it off early. I have 2.5% and don't plan on it. Put the money into other investments paying more.

You should pay your street hookers more then!

Wow...what the hell am I looking at here?

What is the significance of deleting posts enmass? Did the mods employ some conditions of reinstatement that I haven't heard about?

Not dumb....he self admitted where he lives, how much he makes, what his house is worth, and how little in taxes he pays thanks to prop 13...and rags on others for not paying their "fair share".

No one is asking citizens to do so....many citizens just aren't waiting around until its too late to defend themselves and their families...and those citizens are not the ones that advertise they are...

I am guessing the mostly peaceful protests...but well...like the school shootings...stuff like this gets forgotten 2 months later:

This private citizen seems to have done a better job than the police in Texas in preventing mass shooting escalation. Strange that the media hasn't given it more coverage (bias/narrative?):

If the market takes a turn I doubt they will be in a hurry to pack up and take a big loss!

This will be the first downtrend post-WFH era....will be interesting to see how things work out now that there is no longer a "desire" to be "closer-in" to workplaces.

Maybe Bozeman and Tahoe will...

Thats cherry picking monday morning quarterback style.

I would agree that perhaps more maturity is beneficial...but you can't put a number on that. For example...some 8 yr olds can have the...

I take that tact about all politicians. I believe most of them aren't there to help YOU..just themselves.

I am trying to stick to things related to this school shooting. Going off on multiple tangents like many are doing here just ends up going no where. I don't think concealed carry laws, would have...
