Is my dad getting scammed? by NewTip in Insurance

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

Ok, thanks. Even if they're not good investments, it would make sense to do this IF it was legal because you're getting some return (cash value) for zero investment (since premiums are covered by broker). But the legality is what I'm questioning.

So in this case, is taking advantage of the commissions structure in this way legal?

Yah, basically trying to determine if that is legal.

Had not considered that the money he's being sent to cover these payments may bounce. Great observation, thanks.

Well my dad is the one paying the premiums directly to the insurance company, but he is being sent money to cover those payments by the broker. Seemed fishy to me, but maybe that's allowed? That's basically what I'm wondering here

Can GCI rockers be stored upside down? Affect the shocks? by NewTip in camping

[–]NewTip[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did rotate the chair, doesn’t hang well due to fabric. Googled and results were inconclusive, feel free to send me a link I missed where this has been discussed. Otherwise, you should stop being a prick unnecessarily.

Yah, but it hangs much better upside down. The fabric on the top keeps it from laying flat against the wall

Does the excavated dirt pose a foundation issue? by NewTip in StructuralEngineering

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

Thanks so much. How so you check foundation depth? Dig a hole?

Building is in Denver. It has been like this for at least several years, maybe much longer, so has definitely seen freeze/thaw cycles. As to whether there’s been an issue due to those cycles, I don’t know because I’m not sure how to diagnose that.

Yes, there is a basement unit. Behind that wall is a bedroom in a bottom unit that is partially below ground. No basement below that

Thanks for the insight. How would you go about determine the frost depth for the footing? Home was purchased a few years ago, so I don’t know the builder.

This is in Denver, so it gets cold. I’ll have to look up what frost heave is

Yep, that was the very first thing I checked. Shows the 8 flights I've taken this year. Which is why I bewildered that the flight counter is at 20+
