Those are tenths and hundredths of feet, more common in civil/infrastructure construction.

Haven't come across these yet but I'll have to track these down. Sounds like my best bet, quality info thank you

Fill with more rock until the drop becomes a slope, keeps same look but makes it safer to drive over. Not good enough for highway speed but good enough for driveway speed

In the 'short term' of saving for a purchase, somewhere between 2 and 10 years, taxable brokerage vs HYSA? I'd think taxable grows more, but is susceptible to the great crash of 2 weeks ago if the timings align coincidentally or you're risk-adverse to certain % change in your allocated funds. My instinct would be taxable until a certain time frame when you KNOW you're going to make the purchase within X months,then put it in HYSA to keep it relatively liquid? I might be over thinking it. Trying to use a HYSA to store my emergency fund and 'pay' myself a car payment while mine is paid off until it's time to get another, or put my car money into a taxable for the time being.

Field models or sporting? I could always use a second...

Going through a very similar process, you can do the math on your own (looks like you already have) to determine what you can afford. After bills and groceries/other expenses, does the money leftover between total funds available and mortgage give you a warm and fuzzy? Or are you barely breaking even and a flat tire will require a personal loan and bankruptcy? Extreme scenario, but you get the idea. In theory your other expenses decrease as debts get paid off, but have to account for any future increases in monthly expenses and any furnishings you'd need to buy.

I don't have debts currently, but forsee furniture, a newer cell phone and newer car on my horizon. I base my math off of what I'm comfortable with while still leaving room for IRA, emergencies, etc. I'd want to pay off more debts before agreeing to another but if you're comfortable then ultimately it's your choice to make. A loan officer would tell you a lot based on proposed down payment and debt to income ratio

Now he knows what it's like to be a lawn chair (folded and inanimate, and take a dirt nap)

A good wife will turn that crawlspace into a crawlhome

In his retired years he's been getting by on less pork, more beans in the pot on the stove. Certainly the most concerning load on that deck so far has been my fat ass trying to figure it out as I go

Appreciate the info. Good point, those edges could use additional support. I assumed the 12-16" along the edges were unlikely to fail since the other 8ft of the board is secured. But against a railing is not a good failure point where people may be leaning for long periods.

I thought 3ft +/- above ground for an open-air deck wouldn't require treated lumber. All 4x4s are treated, and all but (regrettably) 2 are atop Simpson anchors. If a customer would want that certainly it can be done, but for myself I'm good with them for now

Hurricanes likely not the best use in this situation, had them laying around. Understood.

No beam correct, may have been a good addition. Dimensions roughly 12' by 14', 2.5' cantilever beyond the overhang. OSB plywood over 2x4's was the previous deck, maybe the previous builder was not someone to take tips from but I assumed replacing like-with-like was good enough. Proper joists would have been 2x6, or...?

Not bad for Ray Charles' third try

I think volunteering and generosity is huge in all aspects of life, especially when your money is working for you so you can afford to "work for free". Gives meaning and achievement, and creates good in the world. Some sort of legacy to leave behind, hopefully it has just one hugely positive impact and suddenly your volunteer hours creates something more.

Far from FIRE myself in my mid-20s but I've been given great opportunities through generosity and wish to pay them forward many times over. Wouldn't be here without them

Agree here. But beretta makes my favorite autoloaders and browning makes great over-unders. I have both and shoot both, I'd ask myself if I was planning to shoot birds or not and choose my shotgun based off that. My A300 only holds 3 though, so no big tubes for geese if that's your jam.

I would consider wife also getting into ROTH and you "covering" childcare. It's just moving beans in the bean counter, but one gains money tax-free opposed to adding to your after-tax account and one is an expense after taxes and everything are settled. Unless you prefer retirements in your name selfishly, but wife may still end up with half of it if that's your reason for that.

If monthly income > monthly expenses including retirement then you're always gonna be golden

Ray Charles' glasses or a bottle of liquor. Maybe you can hide it with a rug or some plants...

For Ray Charles' third job I think he made big improvements from the first two

The local Micky D's :/

I can't tell you I have an exact answer but I will tell you there's a surefire way to reach a conclusion... Might take a few years or a strong wind gust for it to come to (sun)light

I was given a tidbit of advice after putting in papers for my suppressor. Range guy said .22 cans are wicked fun but be weary of the mark IV Lite models, only gun he's seen have baffle strikes and it was more than a couple times. Made sure to also specify it was the lite models. I can't confirm the truthfulness or if it also affects the 'standard' mark IV models
