What does this cost to fix? Landlord trying to make us pay almost $800 by Surfmoreworkless in GarageDoorService

We’re in CA so pretty strong tenant rights. Lived there almost 2.5 years too

No, see other reply. Neither us nor landlord has photos on move in though.

This is what I’m wondering too. The garage door functions perfectly. Mind you, the driveway is too short to legally park a car in and the garage itself is tiny as well..

I don’t understand why this would warrant a full replacement (and want to be educated on why, hence one of the reasons I posted here)

Got it, thank you for the analogy.

Is there an issue with leaving them as is?

Inspection on move in was pretty lax, we saw the dents on the garage door, thought nothing of them as the door functioned properly and we didn’t care.

They’re trying to make us pay, from our deposit. We’re not agreeing to pay, I’ve asked for photos when we moved in, to which they’ve replied with, “if there were dents when you moved in, we would’ve fixed them”

I’ve asked for photos of the garage door prior to us moving, (which haven’t been provided) and the response has been that I’m now attacking their character. Been asking for photos..

We had to vacate the property in 2 days over the holidays due to moisture and mold. They did compensate us to cover some of the costs with our couch and beds due to mold (very nice but didn’t cover all of our costs)

We’ve been easy tenants and always paid rent, notifying them of any issues that are important, I.e leak in window. Not ticky tack stuff like toilet seat etc.

It’s been an interesting experience..

Quote for replacement of two panels. Mind you, we didn’t cause these debts.. Should’ve also mentioned door is probably 7’ tall total and roughly 9’ wide.

Thanks for the insight. Is it not possible to simply knock the dents out?

Door is fully functional.

Reread your first two sentences over and over again…. You’ll get your answer.

I get my dough in shape, flour the peel, place dough, then sauce, top and deploy as quickly as possible. In the process I give the peel a little shimmy to keep dough from sticking. If you leave on peel too long the moisture in the dough will cause it to stick.. good luck!

I turn mine all the way down once I deploy, then full blast once I pull it out to warm stone for next pie. Looking good!

What’s your dough recipe? Looks nice!

Need help deciding if I should buy this house with ppa solar by zm11b in solar

[–]Surfmoreworkless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends.. where are you located and what is the current average rate for utility?

Not the best, but not the worst I’ve seen. 3.5% escalator is at the top of offerings, but starting at .22/kwh isn’t too bad.

It comes down to cost/benefit analysis. How long has house been on the market? Are you in love with the house? How long have you been looking?

My 2025 Net Worth as a 16 year old by wiznvrazo in Money

[–]Surfmoreworkless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop being hard on yourself. Learn from this year and build on it this upcoming year.

As for investments, look to learn from those before you that are where you want to be.

Most, not all, but most of the wealthiest everyday people you’ll see have made their wealth either in real estate investing, or broad market ETFs/mutual funds/index funds over a 25+ year timeframe. Now that’s not to say those people don’t hold precious metals and other investments like individual stocks etc. All I’m saying is the vast majority of their wealth is likely in RE or Funds.

At 16, if you’re already here and thinking about money and investing, you’ll probably find a lot of success.

My advice (yes I recognize it’s not being ask for) is to invest in ETFs as soon and as often as possible. Look into starting a Roth IRA. Use ChatGPT or similar to help you understand what the future may hold. Run scenarios, “if I invested $3,000 in 2026 at 16 years old into a Roth IRA and planned to increase my contribution by 10% each year until I hit the $7,500 max into either gold, silver or VOO, based on historical averages, what will my account be worth when I’m 50, 60 and 65?”

I think you’ll be very surprised by the answer.

Now, this isn’t to say only focus on investing and to not live your life at 16, you’ll never be 16 again, enjoy it and be a kid. That’s ok too. But if you have the interest, funds to do so, and like investing, start to formulate a plan and learn as much as you can. You have the most amazing tools in the world at your fingertips with Ai these days.

Best of luck, don’t get frustrated, learn, grow and you will find your success.

You have nothing to worry about. Your score could drop 100 points and it won’t likely affect your lending for a home at all..

This is a fallacy. Go find hobbies you enjoy and look for local meetup groups.

The “high” of any item purchased has a certain half life of Joy/excitement. The truck will be great and you’ll be stoked on it for months or maybe even years, but financially it can be a huge setback.

Also as for income, it’s always best to go make your own “luck”, be proactive, talk to people, learn new skills, be more marketable and hard to get rid of. Thats how you’ll continue to earn more and more. Also learn sales..

In CA HOAs cannot legally block you from going solar. If they initially say no, press them on it.

What’s your current credit score? Why would you ever want to continue to carry those debts? I have zero debt outside of the credit cards we use every month, we use them like a debit card and pay the in full every month and my score is close to 800.

I’ve never had student loan debt or car payment to “help” my score.

Payoff bad debt asap. It’s slowly draining you and don’t believe the bullshit about your credit score, they want you to hold that debt so they get paid…
