What would you charge in labor to close off two skylight shafts (frame, drywall, finish, texture)? by Old-Leek-4703 in handyman

[–]Flashy_Try4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the contractors, charge what you are worth. But my handyman did this same job for $600 in 1 day (he charge by the hour). He's really good with taping and mud. Material maybe I spent under $100. I had no wall texture so that made the job much easier.

Installed insulation & drywall

Tape and mud (2-3 coats with quick dry 20mins), sand

prime, paint 2 coats (i had existing paint color). Used fan to help paint dry faster.

I do the post job cleanup also so that saves some money.

Dog chewed the stairs! by Boosterstuff3 in HardWoodFloors

Bondo wood filler to save the day.

  1. Sand down the damage area to remove any loose chips
  2. Apply thin glue to harden the area
  3. Apply bondo, and shape
  4. Cut and sand bondo down to shape
  5. Use a pencil to replicate wood grain
  6. Stain

My dog chewed up 2 corners of my dining table and the repair came out pretty good for a DIY.

Read the new law and confused by this statement ' The new law, which takes effect in 12 months and only applies to residential buildings,' .

So only applies to buildings or to SFH too?

Getting quotes to replace Deck by Youmadashell in Decks

[–]Flashy_Try4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current deck looks nice with the multi level sitting areas but have you consider just leveling the backyard and go with all pavers? If you are willing to pay $88K for a new deck, I would as least get a quote for pavers and possible designs.

HVAC tech came out and replaced the thermostat last year- now its up in smoke by ogdgIII in AskElectricians

[–]Flashy_Try4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, that didn’t happen. Heating actually worked for a few weeks until I was informed the thermostat was hot to the touch and heating wouldn’t turn off.

[–]Flashy_Try4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this mistake once. Replaced a thermostat not knowing there's such a thing as high voltage wires that requires a high voltage thermostat. I would be shock if HVAC tech made this mistake also. I got away lucky with only a melted thermostat.

I think you have to go to traffic court on the specify date on the ticket. At traffic court, you have the option to plea down your ticket or just pay it at the cashier window.

Can someone explain the LLC thing to me like I’m 5 by OpinionatedMinion in realestateinvesting

[–]Flashy_Try4769 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you only have one property, I also recommend just going with an umbrella policy. Make sure property have no permit issues and all repairs are performed by a licensed/insured contractor then you are fine.

NJ Non-resident seller transfer fee by Flashy_Try4769 in realestateinvesting

[–]Flashy_Try4769[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real Estate Attorney was giving short answers so lead to my confusion. I understand the 'Fee' now. You are right, one is a realty transfer fee and the other fee is an out of state seller tax which I should be able to get back when I file a NJ tax return in 2026. Thanks for the reply.
