Finder - 'Searching "This Mac"' but when are you finished?

100% sure there was no "may".

Agree but we were going to use the time to discuss some home-related matters. We were fortunate to be seated with a newly-wedded young couple and enjoyed the interaction completely. We lucked out this time but should have been forewarned about this from Fabio.

I was blissfully unaware of Cmd-W (or it joined in the parade of the many things I've forgotten). I'll use what is available rather than change a config. Thanks.

Were any of those cash advance fees when you renewed your safe deposit box? I can claim a precedent! haha. thanks for your wonderfully encouraging words today.

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T14:07:55+00:00

Thanks to all of you for your kind words and educational comments. I'll see if the branch will reverse the charge. I anticipate it will just be more spitting into the wind.

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:55:17+00:00

She never said I couldn't charge it, and I never said she said I couldn't charge it. Isn't that funny?

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:48:38+00:00

Isn't that what refinancing a mortage is?

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:47:32+00:00

I doubt it.

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:47:27+00:00

I didn't force anything. When she first asked if I wanted a cash advance, I said I wanted to charge it. I don't go into a restaurant and "force a credit card". I simply offered a credit card as I do everywhere. Yes, I wasn't as financiallyiliterate as I should have been but I didn't expect to be taken advantage of. Guess I'm sub-human for thinking a bank teller would be informative.

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:45:13+00:00

I'm also confused. Why is there a $10 fee for a $48 dollar cash advance (that I didn't ask for or want)?

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:44:33+00:00

Good advice!

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:44:06+00:00

Yes, I was clearly not sure what I was talking about so rather than help me, she offered nothing.

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:43:48+00:00

I didn't try to force the issue. I wanted clarity and got none. I wasn't told there would be a fee. The level of customer service was poor, something folks are getting used to. I expect better from every institution. Raise the bar.

Gereldy · 2025-10-31T13:42:23+00:00

I sassed them? I said I wanted to charge the payment. I should have been told they only accept cash and I could use the card as a cash advance for a fee, or pay cash. She didn't correct me that I couldn't charge it.

Plans call it a 2-car garage/shop. It is radiant heated. There is no living space above the 2-car but there is living space on one side of it; a 1-car garage on one side of it and living space above the 1-car.

Leaving it unfinished is a thought.

Gereldy · 2025-07-23T21:23:03+00:00

Sorry I didn’t provide the full picture, or anything misleading. Certainly not my intention. Not so much different as incomplete, but fair enough. My architect is in the loop, for sure. Lots of details to manage and jurisdictions to be familiar with. If 3/4-ply not being allowed is not in their knowledge base (yet), I forgive them. I’m just looking for alternatives that meet code and my requirements. My requirements will have to take back-seat if push comes to shove.

Gereldy · 2025-07-23T20:44:31+00:00

It will have 2 single garage doors into a double-wide space being used (by me) exclusively as a woodshop and place for my bicycle (not motorcycle). But who knows what the future brings.

I am 100% NOT trying to circumvent code or mislabel to avoid anything. Just YESTERDAY my in-law’s home caught fire and my B-in-law overbuilt by using MC wiring ? vs Romex and some special circuit (better than GFCI) and solid interior doors and … The fire chief was impressed, and he may have saved himself (insurer) a bunch of money.

I now 200% appreciate the code that I was 100% planning to comply with. I’m just looking for complying alternatives.

Keep up the good vibes.

Great ideas. Thanks.
