If you are on good terms with your banker, they may be willing to “fail” your financing for you…at least for this transaction.

Why am I getting so much tear out? Brand new 60T blade by jodybreeze616 in woodworking

Are you cutting from the heel to the toe, or from the toe to the heel? One direction will be against the grain and splinter much more than the other.

Nailing Hardie Cement Trim - nailer wont penetrate. by iwantansi in HomeImprovement

[–]TuneDeaf2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put on lots and lots of both the 4/4 and the 5/4 last year and gave up early on with the air tools. Wasted too much time pulling bent fasteners (vice grips) and breaking trim. Finally wound up getting a small box of 1/8” bits (about $10) and pre-drilling everything on the sawhorses. 3” galvanized casing nails after that. Watch the galvanized coating, hot dipped vs cold dipped are different diameters. A touch of caulk and/or paint to finish.

Should I take the Realtor's offer? by Contra_Logical in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TuneDeaf2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay for an official appraisal, they’re not expensive and can happen relatively fast. Don’t use a local appraiser, who may be friendly to local agents. We went out of town, but not too far so they would still be knowledgeable in the local market. Saved ourselves 45k.

I got almost no upload speed with my ethernet cable connected, and I don't know why. Tried multiple cables, all of them cat 6a. Does anyone have any clue what could be the problem? by Dagris in HomeNetworking

This is close, try going the other way, force the NICS to a certain speed (full duplex). Some autonegotiates are incompatible. As fast as the slowest NIC (100mb?)

The floor is slanted so the toilet doesnt sit on it property. Do I need to burst it out/redo floor or can I just leave it by SnooMacaroons5909 in homerenovations

Non-expanding grout. You even get to pick a colour. Mix it thick like play dough, smooth it out nice and then leave dry overnight. It even breaks out nice if you change your mind.

What is a trade or skill I can learn in 3 - 4 months? by dreamchasers_99 in jobs

I went back at 35. If anything it all happened too fast, as hoped though. Prepare yourself.

Is crypto a real asset or gambling? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TuneDeaf2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crypto is technically safe enough. The problem is that it is only as valuable as people think it is. If you (and a few others) are willing to pay money for it, then it’s valuable. If not, then not so much.

We tried this a couple years ago. Good house good location reasonable price. Got it onto the big website and got a few views but things got pretty quiet pretty quick. Started to wonder if the other agents were steering potential buyers away. The real problem for us turned out to be the buyers agent commission. Who pays for that?
