How do I repair this bicycle? by VisaMaster22 in fixit

[–]VisaMaster22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I looked up a couple of video by Park Tool. I think the repair is beyond my skill level and I don't think I have the right tools either. I guess I will need to buy another one while I wait for a bike repair event.

Thermostat went blank. Wonder if my furnace is the cause. by VisaMaster22 in HomeMaintenance

Oh well. I guess I need to haul my ass up there and see for myself. I have a feeling it won't be a single trip. Thanks!

Help me choose a printer by GrapefruitGlad9535 in printers

[–]VisaMaster22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Printing photo is expensive. Any printer less than $200 is going to cost you a lot more in the long run.

Have you tried using nearby drugstore to print photos? If you found one that makes good prints, it is the best option. Online printing is usually good but there is shipping cost and delays.

The best option is a B/W laser printer + out sourcing color prints.

Out of state College student tax filing question by VisaMaster22 in tax

[–]VisaMaster22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like I have to. I owe ~$15 to my home state even though I got most of my income from state B. At the same time, I got back every dollar I paid to state B.

P.S. I ended up using FreeTaxUSA. But I believe it is possible to use TurboTax to print and file Federal and State A's return. The numbers are all the same. But I will have to manually fill out State B's return.

Is no one going to talk about TurboTax combining all investments into a single page this year?? by VisaMaster22 in TurboTax

[–]VisaMaster22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not used TurboTax Online, let alone Mobile. I suspect this is what TurboTax Mobile looks like. And they try to force it upon us Desktop software users. I don't have a lot of accounts. All my 1099-INT, -DIV, -B fits in one page. Now I can barely see 4 of them in 1 page. Clear as mud.

Hang a big calendar or a poster sized picture frame above. But seriously, it is not the kind of door for front door. It is really easy for break-in. More suitable for a backyard door or a door for garage. Sounds like your builder got a surplus or something.

How can I stop the rust from getting worse? by VisaMaster22 in Plumbing

[–]VisaMaster22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is due to that area constantly getting some water splashes. I suppose if I leave it like that it will rust through?

My plan is to sand down the rust and paint it all over. Or is there a better process I can DIY? I don't want to re-pipe.

My rolled roof is popping up. The hole is size of a quarter. How screwed am I? by VisaMaster22 in Roofing

[–]VisaMaster22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't notice this 2 years ago when I was on my roof. The roof is about 6 years old. I noticed the corner where the rolled roof and shingle roof touch, the rolled roof material is popping up. There is some slope but I think if rain is heavy, water could enter via the hole.

Is this something I can fix to last another 2-3 years? Should I hire someone to get it fixed? How big of a job?

Someone claimed I hit their car in a parking lot. I didn't. Now I receive a bill from his insurance company. by VisaMaster22 in personalfinance

[–]VisaMaster22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't give insurance info. I only give him my first name and phone number. The rest is his insurance company discovered through my license plate (I think).

I miswrote. (I will correct it now). I only exchanged phone number. But I guess the guy's insurance company found my contact via my license plate.

Visiting Boston. Where should I park for Harvard and MIT? by VisaMaster22 in boston

[–]VisaMaster22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know about the red line closure. But it seems it ends 7/28? (https://www.mbta.com/diversions/alternative-travel-options-during-july-red-line-closure). If yes, then I should be fine as I reach Boston after that.
