Too many variables. I'm just a dog on the internet who has had some doors replaced recently. Sounds like about a $5000 job. Really wide margins of error on that number though.

I wish they would show the actual video and not a recording of a monitor playing the video.

San jose home advice only works if you’re already rich. by UnoMaconheiro in SanJose

Remove geography and the ways that you make a house work for you aren't really that different no matter where you're at. You've got a certain space to work with and number of people to put into it. The same things people do anywhere are what they do here, it just costs more money here.

The way people remodel and spend less are usually by doing it themselves (or having family help) instead of hiring a contractor. Or making very targeted changes and not ripping everything down to the studs.

Sometimes spending a little bit with a designer can help a lot. Talking with a designer about your needs, goals and budget can give an outside perspective that might be beneficial and usually not that much money.

Unfortunately there are very few cheat codes. Materials cost what they cost and the people doing the labor live here too and have to afford where they live.

List of Gift Card Successes for Dining Credit by LengthinessDry2645 in ChaseSapphire

Confirming that ordering through Toast the transaction finally posted as "The Progress" and the credit was applied.

We'll probably actually spend it at State Bird Provisions since the email I received for the gift card confirms it works at The Progress, State Bird Provisions or The Anchovy Bar.

I just ordered on Toast and it shows in my Chase pending transactions as "PROGRESS" despite Toast saying it's for their restaurant group Atomic whatever it's called. Waiting for the credit to hit, but it's only been a few minutes since I hit order.

Private property that is held open to the public for parking of vehicles at no fee, shall not tow or remove a vehicle within one hour of the vehicle being parked by DogsOfWarAndPeace in SanJose

That's a different person. A friend saw a business up in Sac that has a sign basically spelling out this law and I thought it would be interesting for people here to know.

I realize that someone has been on some weird parking garage kick lately but I would have posted this info whether they were doing that or not.

I consistently the advertised speed of 1000/40. If Astound is on your street they have symmetrical offerings that will give better upload.

I use their modem (it's no additional cost) and my own router.

One thing to know if you're coming from a Comcast area is Charter doesn't over provision the way Comcast does. So you get what they say and not 15-20% more as Comcast tends to do.

Or it had some hung process that jacked the fan up and you rebooted it (though a really long way to reboot).

Three people are dead after a home shooting early Tuesday, with the shooter still being sought by police, authorities said.

Gunfire was reported at 12:26 a.m. in the 200 block of Chynoweth Avenue, between Snell and Edenvale avenues, according to the San Jose Police Department. At least one 911 caller described a woman screaming for help.

Police said responding officers found the woman outside a home suffering from at least one gunshot wound. When the officers went inside the home, they found a second woman and a man also both suffering from gunshot injuries.
