First off, this guy is seeing a bottom alright, from the inside, if you know what I mean![/quote]

OK, now that was funny.

[quote=TuVu]What are “bull nose corners” and why are they considered an improvement? I’m somewhat familiar with remodeling, but don’t know that term and am seeing it more and more. Sorry for being “duh.”[/quote]

TuVu,

It can mean a couple different things depending on what you are talking about. If it is the crown molding it means where there was a 90 degree corner it is clipped off with a piece that makes the turn into two 45 degree corners. The same thing applies with counter tops and baseboards. It is just a cosmetic thing. I have also seen it used to describe the metal edge that you put on the 90 degree corner when you are doing drywall. Although this is cosmetic, it gives you a really nice clean line after you mud the whole thing in and it makes it more difficult to ding the corner. Pretty much everyone uses them from what I have seen.

They are going about marketing this place all wrong. They need to emphasize the positive aspects of the property, like:

“Beautifully remodeled with an open floor plan…”

“Ample natural light floods the interior…”

“Feels much larger than Sq footage suggests…”

“Al fresco living…”

C’mon, give it a try. It’s fun 🙂

Heh.

I have a mostly pointless yet passingly humorous story of dealing with a bank mortgage.

About 8 years ago I was deployed to a rather “austere” area: no mail, no internet, no phones, pretty much nada. I had my mortgage set up for automatic withdrawal from a transfer account I set up for that purpose and figured that would keep it all covered. Well, not so much.

After I returned home 4 months later I have a ton of mail and more than a couple angry phone calls from my bank wanting to know where their money was. I hop on line and to my amazement, there is a lot of money in sitting in that transfer account that should not be there. It seems that the bank had a little “oopsy” with their computer system shortly after I left and they never withdrew the funds from my account. Since it showed up as a missed payment they continued to not withdraw the payments in subsequent months. 4 months later and Viola, they are starting to put me through the process. Fortunately, I was able to get it cleared up but the initial phone call was kind of funny.

Bank: So why didn’t you contact us sooner?

Me: Sorry, I didn’t know their was a problem. I was outside the country in a rather remote locale.

Bank: Didn’t you get our mail.

Me: Sorry, we weren’t getting any mail.

Bank: You could have returned our calls.

Me: Sorry again ma’am, but we didn’t have any phones.

Bank: No phones?

Me: No phones.

Bank: Internet?

Me: Nope.

Bank: What about your wif..

Me: Divorced.

Bank: What about some close friends that could…

Me: Ma’am, do I sound like the kind of guy that has a lot of close friends?

Bank: Uhhh, I suppose not.

I still chuckle when I think about that.
