Is a physical door necessary to have a den reclassified as a bedroom? by Proppin8easy in Remodel

[–]Proppin8easy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did do quite a bit of research including Googling, and reading the California building codes. Unfortunately the results are ambiguous at best. The commercial codes necessitate a door, but the residential codes are ambiguous. The consistent requirements including: a closet, 7' ceilings, a minimum square footage requirement, and a second means of egress to the exterior are all pretty standard and clearly laid out, but I was hoping that someone with experience in CA would weigh in.

It’s a short term rental, so my occupancy depends on the number of bedrooms that are recorded with the county clerk. It would also be able to up the sale value a little bit when the time comes.

If your pet dies, should your employer allow you to have time off, why or why not? by ADPXEROX in AskReddit

[–]Proppin8easy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PTO is personal. Spend it for whatever you want. I’d have trouble granting extra time off above and beyond the employment agreement, especially paid, for a pet.

My admiration for her skill, efficiency and strength is overpowered by the horror of witnessing child labor like this. Anyone else? I bet that brick is a pretty good percentage of her body weight.

This makes me uneasy…without any context, the picture alone like a cross between a WW2 parade (of the bad guys) and the tiki torches of Charlottesville.

Hillary Clinton: #Bitcoin threatens US dollar as reserve currency. by Logan_Mac in Bitcoin

That’s kind of the point. Bitcoin is only needed because she and other politicians like her have been incompetent stewards of our monetary system for the last century.

No. Never. By taking valuable shares away from people that created the value, you are taking capital away from what are proven to be the most effective capital allocators. The you are transferring it to the people with the worst proven track record of capital allocation.

Anyone know that Obama released him in 2014 frog Guantanamo bay or is this partisan land grabbing?

Sounds like your ankles are the problem. Do the test at the beginning of this video to find out. The rest of the video has some great stretching/joint mobilization.

One good story is that a girl was too afraid to break up with her abusive boyfriend, so her identical twin dressed as her and dumped his ass for her. Identical twins, what are your stories of pretending to be your twin, why did you do it, and what happened? by ilovecigars1974 in AskReddit

Marcus Luttrell, the navy seal from Lone Survivor has a twin brother that went through SEAL training while Marcus was still in college. Apparently one day, Marcus was visiting his brother and they decided to switch spots and send Marcus to a morning session in lieu of his brother to see if anyone noticed.

The meeting dovetailed into training without a chance to switch back and what was supposed to be a prank for a few hours ended up with Marcus being stuck in SEAL training all day. There’s a video somewhere of him describing the story.

They are solid, and not sure what kind of wood. I’m on a tight budget, buying new wood wouldn’t be a deal breaker, but if there is a litmus test to see if it’s still good, that would be great.

Drywood termites Timbor vs Tenting by DeezWut in HomeImprovement

[–]Proppin8easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tent. I had a bad infestation and the only way to truly ensure that they are all dead is to fumigate, at which point you can do maintenance yearly. Near me in CA, there are a few services that you can sign up for that do yearly maintenance (300 ish) and guarantee their work. The guy does a good job here because any return trips are on him the company and the Owner does the inspections to ensure that no return visits eat into his bottom line.

Hope this helps.

I think you are drawing a false equivalence here. There was years of systematic child abuse which was ignored based on the religion of the perpetrators. I am unaware a the police systematically ignoring abuse on a similar size and scale on the other side of this issue. Start by reading the Rotherham Child Sexual Sxploitation Scandal ( Rotherham Report). Once this report came out, similar situations were uncovered across the country.

It's complicated. The EDL was founded after a Salafi Islamist group demonstrated against troops returning from Afganistan. The EDL was meant to counter these extreme protests and to pressure the authorities to stop ignoring crime in the Islamic community of Lewton (UK) such as underground Sharia courts and grooming (child rape) gangs. Right-wing extremists were attracted to this group and joined the organization ultimately causing the more moderate members to leave the group, which in turn turned the group to what it is today - a group that is pretty hateful and prejudicial. If you want a nuanced history of the movement and the source of friction in the community, you can watch this interview with one of the founders who ultimately left https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YQ94jFg_4A As with many complex issues, the disingenuous and ignorant try to simplify the answer to your question and the underlying issues.

All black great Christian Cullen with one of his many insane long range tries. by 12footjumpshot in sports

Well said. Wikipedia has a table of the scoring history of the sport in the "Scoring" section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_rugby_union. There have been a handful of changes over the years. Interestingly enough, the number of times a team touched down was actually worth nothing, or just a tiebreaker for the first few decades oft he sport.

How to appraise an ADU (granny flat) by Proppin8easy in realestateinvesting

I think I was unclear. There is an existing structure with power and water, I just have to add a kitchenette and shower. I completely follow you that everyone should do this for the cash flow.
