La Jolla Renter
Participant90% of the time it is way easier than you would think if it meets all the zoning requirements. A simple trip down to the planning office will get you a fairly reliable answer.
ParticipantThe 2 biggest issues I believed Obama would fix was healthcare and the black community (specifically employment, race relations, and education) once an for all.
I don’t know how the average family of four is doing with their promised $2,500 a year healthcare savings, but my personal ppo has gone from $313 to $1089 under Obama care.
Obama failed the black community by every measure I can see unless I put on my Al Sharpton CNN glasses. When the media love affair wears off, history will figure this one out.
Participant[quote=SK in CV][quote=scaredyclassic]Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.[/quote]
That’s one of the finest paragraphs I’ve read.[/quote]
Agreed, love it. Especially, when I haven’t check this site in a few months and get this gem in the first minute.
ParticipantThe classic solution to just invent a new rating system. What a scam the department of education, state bureaucrats, and unions have been pulling for years.
The only solution is to stop voting these idiots into office.
February 28, 2017 at 5:21 PM in reply to: OT: First real rains in years, time to check your ceilings and walls. #805782ParticipantI have a few leaks.
And as a mater of fact, I was out with a few buddies last night. All four of us have leaks in our homes. (all are $1M plus homes)
Participant.
ParticipantMy chronic lead foot prevents me from the sports car temptation. Back when I had a fast car I would hit 100+ at least 3 to 4 times a week.
So I drive a $50k truck. About 7k miles per year.
The best part about driving a big truck is that you don’t have to tolerate drivers that speed up when you politely and timely turn on your blinker to change lanes. You just keep going.
Participantomg… agree with zk. Buy it.
(can’t believe there aren’t 10 post already trying to shame you into buying a used Prius and donate the rest to world peace)
What would you buy if you could convince yourself to part with 100k?

And another winner looks to join the trump administration. Let’s take the FDA and stop it from protecting consumers. Jesus.[/quote]
Are you implying that the FDA has been doing a great job protecting consumers or just pissing on anything related to our elected president?
ParticipantIMO and experience, your son has a 80% chance of regretting a real estate partnership. That’s about my batting average of the dozen I have been in. But, the one home run I did hit was worth regretting the bottom 80%.
We need more detail on the deal.
What might make this a great deal. Not being on the mortgage. A great mortgage rate. Good cashflow. Well maintained property. Buying at a discount without real estate commissions and closing costs. Having the resources and liquidity to buy out partner A at anytime.
Partnerships can be a form of asset protection for bankruptcy and or divorce.
If the deal somehow requires getting on a mortgage then I say no deal.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]That’s is so true! Anyone who has a science degree should figure things out logically. [/quote]
I do, and so agree with that logic. 🙂
Looking back, I would have done the plumbing myself while I was baby sitting all the other trades. Probably would have used pex and a manifold in the garage. I like the idea of being able to design with no joints from manifold to shutoffs under the sink.
I did install a direct to day light drain in the laundry closet on the second floor. Plumber thought that was a silly idea when you already have a pan and 1″ drain line.
ParticipantYes. But only on a 60″ non 4k though. No day off, but working from home.
Participantdo it yourself… watch a bunch of YouTube vids.
My experience after managing a down to the studs house remodel last year, is that if you watch a lot of YouTube videos to determine the best techniques and you are a bit of a perfectionist, you have a 90% chance you will do a better job than the “pros”.
Fyi, the 2 trades I fired half way through the project were the plumber and the tile setter. Both were from referrals and licensed. I wanted to leave bad reviews online, but didn’t trust them as they know where I live.
ParticipantFaulconer and crew were negotiating to “not lose” vs negotiating to win. Not a great strategy against the NFL.
Faulconer should have traded a Trump endorsement to have Trump and his team come in and get the deal done.
If I hear another news conference touting a “world class river front development for all San Diegans”, I’m going to shoot myself.
