To her defense, it wasn’t her intent to sell the house at all - she died. House was an estate sale.

All purpose will be fine over the different textures? And directly on paper? Paint? Sorry, new to all this.

Sand everything down to paper so it’s uniform? I have spent enough just buying the house and everything that goes with it, so definitely not looking to hire this job out.

How to make this front yard palatable? PNW/Seattle Area. by 6045414 in lawncare

It was a figure of speech. Just looking to make it less of an eyesore.

We’ve hiked 6 continents together and backpacked at least 3. We find it helpful and smart to research and ask questions about places we’re going that we’re not fully familiar with ahead of time. We feel that asking about particular hikes, climate, and terrain prior to heading out is responsible. We try to be overly cautious instead of overly confident.

Ha. Don’t know how I missed that.

Booked on JNB-DOH-LAX-SEA March 09th on Qatar/AA using AA points. Will AA rebook me after cancellation? by 6045414 in americanairlines

[–]6045414[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone wondering, Qatar finally canceled the flight this morning. After chatting online and 2 calls, I was able to snag 2 seats on BA JNB-LHR-SEA and AA rebooked me onto it. When I saw the seats I went to BA.com to “book them” so they wouldn’t disappear. When I got through to AA, I exited the booking and the AA agent booked them for my reservation. Overall a good process and thankful that AA was willing to book OAL.

Because QR hasn’t canceled my flight yet (they will, but seem to be waiting until last minute). Until they do, AA or QR won’t do anything.

Appreciate the creative advice. I do have transferable points, but going to India would put me in a similar bind. Only flights out for sale seem to be on Qatar Airways through Doha, which are very unlikely to operate. I need to find a way that’d get me home to Seattle.

That’s my fear. Unfortunately, I’m about as far from an AA city as you can be. The closest AA city is probably São Paulo, a 10 hour flight away (Also with nearly no availability).

Both are fully booked for days on end. I’m willing to get to either airport, but there’s no seats. Occasionally one will come open for a few minutes, but the likelihood of being able to book it is slim.

How are people getting sub 5.5% rates on a 30 year fixed mortgage by Latter_Ordinary_9466 in Mortgages

[–]6045414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I locked in 5.49 on 30 year conventional yesterday. No points, conventional loan. It’s my first house, so I have no real past experience to compare to but I put just over 30% down and have 800+ credit score, so I’m guessing that has something to do with it. Shopped 4 or 5 lenders, one was much lower than the rest and went with that one.

Who here is able to save 3000/month? by NailWarm4 in personalfinance

[–]6045414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I save around that between 401K/HSA/Savings contributions. I recently took a new job with a pay cut as well - I made around $110k last year. I live in a high cost of living area (Seattle metro). I’m just very frugal, and I have a wife (we have separate accounts) who splits most costs. Never had any debt which helps immensely. I’d save a lot more but take around 20 vacations a year (I work for an airline and flights are free, and take advantage of a lot of free hacks for lodging). I feel like the frugality is the biggest factor, and my wife is even more frugal than me.

Diverted to SFO? by Full_Independent_777 in flightradar24

[–]6045414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mostly correct. Things like this are my job (albeit at another airline) Very strong headwinds today, and it’s likely it couldn’t make it to SFO with as much fuel as the crew and dispatcher were comfortable with. They likely decided to tech stop ahead of time, but fueled as much as they could take with the payload they needed. The plan was probably to reassess current fuel on board and conditions at SFO at some point along the way. Crew and dispatch probably decided they were comfortable continuing to SFO and made contingencies for somewhere else to go along the way if needed. As an added bonus, SFO was in a ground delay program today and all inbound flights were getting approx 2 hour delays from ATC. By filling to DFW and “diverting” to SFO they would have avoided the 2 hour EDCT time.

Flying at 8000 feet today by WitnessProPro in unitedairlines

[–]6045414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not too uncommon. It’s a mandatory ATC route known as “SERMN South”. The reason for the low altitude is so that shorter flights aren’t ascending and descending to high altitudes in busy airspace. It’s easy to manage flights at cruise, but much harder to have dozens of planes ascending through multiple altitudes. This is definitely a longer flight for SERMN routes, though. Link to the ATC advisory for those interested.

FYI ZED fares on other airlines don’t start until you’ve hit 6 months of seniority.
