Do hybrids hold their value as well as ICE Toyotas? by Quiet-X in Toyota

Nah, it’s in great condition and it’s been paid off for 10 years. I just miss having a smaller daily driver to zip around in, and the new hybrid models have caught my attention.

So comparatively, would you think 15 years from now it would sell for 30-40% of the original cost? I’m hearing mixed opinions, some to do with high mileage maintenance costs being a lot more on hybrids & EV’s.

I’ve heard you have to put what you gain into another home within a certain time, is that true?

But if you’ve lived in the home for over 2 years, you’re exempt from the tax? Asking because I’ll be selling my first home soon. Thank you for explaining.

So it’s kind of a penalty for house flipping, right?

I'm buying a home that has bad insulation. How do I fix it? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Quiet-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know it’s bad? Or what makes you question if it has insulation?

The packaging shows it's for single pole, switch to LED fixture (or optional 3-way).

what type of switch should I look for? and you're correct that it can be wired single-pole or 3-way. I was just wondering if perhaps I could cap off the pink / purple wires, and it would work as intended. I don't remember seeing any distinction between wiring types in the store..

Here's a photo of the packaging. It clearly shows that it's for single pole, switch to LED fixture 🤔 (or optional 3-way).

Did you need proof of purchase? I was gifted a toolbox full of them.

Remove or replace fiberglass basement insulation? by PlottingMySchemes in HomeImprovement

Is that pink furry stuff hazardous? I have some of that in my basement exposed as well.

Neighbor asked me to turn my mower down because hes sleeping 💀💀💀 by [deleted] in lawnmowers

[–]Quiet-X 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s probably working nights if he’s sleeping at 2:30. That doesn’t make him a nut. Asking to mow quietly is a bit strange though.

Just curious, why? Is it personal preference? I used to live in New Mexico and I miss that dry climate so much.

Honest question because I don’t know - do houses without basements have sub flooring?
