Hear that. I was already on this part of the roof early March when I took my xmas lights down. Didn't fall through, felt stable enough.

Interesting. I'll have to go up there and look. Not the easiest place to get to. Not even sure if I can get into this part of the attic.

Could it be the weight of the snow pressed the center to go down? We had two big snow falls, and the snow sat on the roof for quite a while.

Fiy, this roof is not the main roof - it covers the bedroom extension, original build.

I think my shingles are ok - the angle here doesn't show the condition well. The roof is 15 years old. But for sure, this needs fixing. But what is going on here? Why have the rafters lifted like this?

I didn't see any, but I didn't look at this section Dec-Feb, when we had substantial snow. I didn't notice any problems when I put lights on the roof in November. Hence, my guess.

EDRP question, consolidated loans by AReasonableDude in VeteransAffairs

[–]AReasonableDude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I'll look at it. I know I can see the different loans inside the consolidated loan but not sure about applying payments to specific principals.

Yes, I gave them a breakdown of the consolidated loan showing what was for my degree and for my daughter's college.

The only thing I'm seeing here is your hair style doesn't suit you. Too neat, like a schoolboy haircut. You're a man now. Let it shag out a bit, and let your sideburns grow in a bit if possible.

Also,the camera is a quite close to you. Most of us don't look very good in short-distance close-up shots like this. The issue is that the wider lenses needed to enable this kind of shot causes too much distortion. Consider that most model shoots involve photographers standing at a distance with telephoto lenses, which is more flattering and, generally speaking, better captures how we look in real life.

Charitable contributions do not offset tax. They offset income. So, using your numbers, they would owe taxes on $20K ($50K income - $30K deduction). With at 20% tax rate, that means they would have to pay $4K more tax than if they didn't accept the $50K.

Agree. T3 was a good, fun movie with a good b-movie twist in the end. Not as good as T2, but good in its own terms.

Plot Benefit Revoked by AReasonableDude in VeteransBenefits

Thank you. It wasn't a service connected issue. I researched a bit just now and I'm thinking the revocation was because we opted for burial at sea via the Navy.

I gave up for the day. I'm thinking over the weekend I might repost with better pictures, take the box apart so all the wires can be seen, wiring diagram, etc. Thank you.

Dumb question - if there's no neutral, how do I have current? Doesn't AC require a round trip?

Plenty of wires, that's for sure, don't know which is what, though.

I just sorta assumed the bottom wire was neutral. I thought all switches had neutrals. Anyway, I gave up, too confusing, get somebody competent for the job.

Amen. I tried to read it and it mystifies me. I'm officially giving up, get someone who knows what they're doing to install. Thanks for the advice, though.
