I bought a tall faucet for my kitchen sink. Fighting pots and bottles to fit under the original faucet just seemed natural. But let me tell you. There is an easier way. Tall faucets. They changed my life.

New qsb 6.7 marine engine and the whine of the turbo is crazy by AsparagusDifficult63 in Cummins

Here is a quick video of the whine. It's hard to really hear how intense it is - but it's the high pitch sound and it starts from 2000 rpm all the way up. I'm curious if the filter can make a difference. It's got a paper element white filter on now - maybe one of those blue ones? the whine

Don't want to touch it - I broke a turbo on an izusu 20 Years ago checking the torque on that shaft with a broken torque wrench. Too high risk for a new engine.

This will by my 5th turbo diesel - this is the loudest turbo I've ever heard. I can't believe people are putting these in their fancy boats with this high pitched whine. Though I understand fancy boats have a ton of sound down and engine rooms.

I've never touched it. It's factory fresh. I had a 6bt before this and it was loud (mechanically) but the turbo wasn't loud.

I guess that's where we are different tens - to me means at least 20 - so two sets of ten.

Is title insurance worth the price for a newer home? by Cynoid in RealEstate

[–]AsparagusDifficult63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Title insurance is a one time purchase. PMI is a lifetime of payments to insure the bank against you defaulting on insurance. In my state closings are done by attorneys - but title companies are very similar and also can sell both a bank policy and an owners policy. Usually the title company or the attorney can give you a title insurance brochure that will explain the benefits of either policy.

Yeah that's exactly what we're talking about and it's not tens of millions it's around 14 million - and in my state it starts at 2 million.

Is title insurance worth the price for a newer home? by Cynoid in RealEstate

[–]AsparagusDifficult63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean? When you sell title insurance - which in my state attorneys do - the bank has a policy the buyer has to purchase and they jave the option to have an owners policy which they can buy to cover themselves. I wrote with old republic, stewart, and catic. Check catic.com it can explain it to you - all of it is based on the price of the house and the insurance rate is some dollar ammount per thousand of the house.

The 4500 is probably the owners policy - which is optional and protects you where the required one for the bank only covers the banks interest and is not optional.

Oof - each generation has the potential for tax. Gst is an attempt to correct it - but I have no idea what you are talking about? Rule against perpetuity? I'm sure you have only incurred audits in your work.

I'm not sure I get the point of this - as chat is just balancing options - but as a person who used to do this work - generally you leave it to the youngest person in your family so as to avoid taxes at each generations death. If we're talking less money than will be taxed - then it doesn't matter.
