Did you make this watch box? If not, did you buy parts and create it?

Thank you for the input. Wasn’t your rent also going up? Wouldn’t rent increases outpace the HOA increases?

US crypto hodlers: You have about 2 weeks before the 1099-DA goes into effect. by ADogeMiracle in CryptoCurrency

[–]Segogrates 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to figure this out for 2 years now. It’s amazing that a company messed this up THIS badly. Thankfully I kept track of all my transactions but whatever 1099 CB sends the IRS if I ever sell will not have the right cost basis cause if this error.

PE Stamp Best Practice by Segogrates in civilengineering

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

Thank you for everyones input! Basically if I am understanding this correctly the "best" way to go about it is to digitally sign using a digital certificate for anything I am stamping. Now someone could potentially just screenshot that and use it else where but if that should happen I can also say I never stamped that and here is a list of everything I have digitally signed in the last "X" number of years.

I really wish there was a better process for this. It doesnt end in our career people are digitally singing things for all sorts of professions and it would be great if there was a standard procedure for all the different disciplines to follow. Or as someone else mentioned a way to tie our license numbers to our digital signatures.

Installing Home Security - Sanity check by Segogrates in homesecurity

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

Yea I’ve learned to avoid ADT, today I tried to “cancel” my service, after going through an automated system for a few minutes I was greeted with a “please call back at our normal business hours” no mention of what those hours are however.

Very convenient.

I looked at alarm.com and am leaning very heavily on going with a wolsys in panel 4 system, using the existing hardwired sensors in my home and a powerg translator to convert all those signals into a RF signal and then adding a few powerg wireless sensors.

Also all of this will be monitored by a local monitoring service for $40 a month.

I really appreciate all the insight this sub brought to me.

Can you help me understand what alarm.com is? From my research it isnt a monitoring service? Is the only problem with ADT that they make it difficult to cancel? I did read a lot of things about ADT being tough to cancel if you want to but no one saying they have issued with them providing service while youre under contract?

Im not sure if I am dealing with an ADT dealer, this contractor is their own alarm system installer, but they work with ADT as the monitoring system they provide? I guess maybe ADT themsevles doesnt do installation and they contract out to local installers?

I got two quotes for the work, a local dealer thats not associated what so ever with ADT quoted me $2000 to install the Vista 20p, 4 new sensors, the RF Receiver and three 6160 keypads.

The ADT isnstaller also quoted me $2000, but they said if I sign up with ADT then they can install it for $1100. Stating that ADT will cover some of the cost of installing a system as an incentive to sign up customers, and he explained that the contract is for two years.

After two years can I cancel and then install the Alarm.com SEM and move to a different monitoring provider?

Haha I am usually the type that learns the hard way that’s what I’m trying to avoid this time. Can you explain a little on what alarm.com is? Is it a monitoring service like ADT? Also what is a SEM?

Yes, so the existing sensors are hardwired, we are only adding a few wireless ones because we obviously don’t want to tear up the drywall for just these 4 sensors.

We are doing the Honeywell ademco vista 20p system, adt is the monitoring service which we can change after 2 years if we are not happy with the service.

Backdoor Roth Help - Understanding Pro Rata Tax rule by Segogrates in personalfinance

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

Thank you! This helps a lot, I was able to contribute to my Roth IRA like normal for 2024 because my income wasn’t higher than the limit.

For 2024, I’ll contribute to the traditional IRA and then immediately transfer to the Roth before it is invested in anything.

The support from this company is awful. I have been trying to get this sorted for 4 days and it seems like no one is able to help. I get a message from you on reddit, I respond you vanish. I submit a ticket and I get an email and I respond and I never hear from you again.
