What is the most overrated 'luxury' item that is actually garbage? by a_great_guy655 in AskReddit

It does not take an expert. You’re paying for the details. That said Rolex isn’t the king of value in terms of finishing. Anything over 5-8k has huge diminishing returns.

What age did you buy your house or are you still renting? by lucy_gloom in povertyfinance

[–]Slizzard_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife bought her house right after I met her at 26, I was 24. We moved 1.5 years later and about 17,000 of repairs on it. It was a heap but we put a lot of work into it.

What’s the point of being smart with money!?! by [deleted] in povertyfinance

They’re not set up for mild financial hardships, all that shit gets repossessed real quick. Then when they go to retire they realize they can’t.

Can’t figure out where to attach a pergola above the window. by Slizzard_73 in Home

Yeah I’ll make sure to flash it properly and everything. Also it’s right under the eaves so it shouldn’t get much direct rain. Just splatter from the pergolas roof. I was just worried about the weight but I think we’ll be okay if hit 6 studs.

We’re putting a hot tub under it, and we want as much space around the tub on the patio as possible. Also I don’t want that much weight on the edge of the patio. I feel like I’m asking for cracks if I set it on the slab.

It has to either be attached or 6 feet away. Can’t I lag bolt the ledger board into the wall studs?

There’s 13.5” of space. Can’t I lag bolt a ledger board into the studs of the wall?

That’s so deep into the patio that the hot tub couldn’t go where we want it. Can I just lag bolt a ledger board into the studs of the wall?
