Posted by agilitydawg on 5/24/24 at 8:18 pm
One thing to consider is the trend of insurance companies to non-renew for older roofs. I currently have a 20 year old architectual shingle roof and I have a lot of granular loss but no hail or wind damage. I half expect my insurance company to tell me they will not renew unless I get it replaced.

If you don't have access to a wet tile saw go get an oscilatting tool at harbor freight and a diamond blade. Tool can be had from 12-$20 if you catch a coupon.
One of the most versatile useful tools for diy around the house. Plan ahead and buy some blades on line for the future because the big ...

Well for one the university hosts them as you mention.

re: Minimizing Tax Bill
Posted by agilitydawg on 4/26/24 at 8:27 pm

Don't go crazy on savings you are likely getting taxed on interest at your marginal tax rate plus a surcharge of 3.8 percent and state taxes so if you have excess savings you might as well use it for something ...

re: Anyone did their own landscaping vs hiring someone? Cost difference?
Posted by agilitydawg on 2/25/24 at 9:37 pm
I have done a fair amount around my houses and growing up when my parents moved or built a house we did a lot of our own landscaping.
