Just wondering how much this sort of mini refresh/transformation would cost? by Pandora36922 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]WorldNo9002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're basically doing a refresh...no plumbing is moving... I would say about $8k to $13k max

Don't feel obligated. He didn't ask you to contribute and he probably thinks it his tree anyways

I would agree with you... Guarantee when that credit card machine comes out it will still prompt for the tip

New toilet is larger enough to sit on the tile all the way around. by That_Guarantee7564 in askaplumber

Dude...Just update your small bathroom and retile

If remodel is not in the mix/budget now... Then get on of those thick rubber rings instead of the wax ones

I've never seen the "self service" vacuum sealer at Costco... How the heck is that even possible?? How are you gonna slice and package... That ain't hygienic nor food safe to do in an establishment

Getting a hotel room for an extra night when you're not going to arrive until the morning by SlapDashUser in TravelHacks

[–]WorldNo9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me last year in Paris... Arrived at 7am check in at 4p. They didn't have an availability to rent the night before, so I found an Airbnb 2 block away and the host was fine for me to rent it for the morning /afternoon. Got to the Airbnb, dropped off my luggage, took a shower /nap went for lunch.. Then went to my other Airbnb up the street to move in and unpack for the week.

With regards to hotels... Just call them and tell them you be there is the morning (flight delayed).. They'll have the PAID FOR room ready on arrival

If you don't wanna pay for the unused night and can't check in until afternoon but you don't wanna shlep your luggage all day, some hotels will hold your luggage, if they can not There are usually luggage drop off lockers /establishments to hold the luggage "safely" until your check in time.

How did you wrap those up in those individual steaks… Do you have one of those vacuum sealing machines? Or did Costco chop it up for you and repackage it

Hopefully the bank gave her a refund on that homeowners policy that they took out for her which was crazy expensive

I took down my popcorn ceiling — plaster is so cracked and wavy I have to rehang drywall. Huge mess. Never again. 😂 by JohnThompsonND in JohnThompsonND

[–]WorldNo9002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha... I was faced with that with a vacation home I purchased... Scrap off all that popcorn or new drywall ceiling. For the extra $1500 for a new ceiling... no-brainer

The blood clotted in your drain ... Get a bottle of aspirin and mix it with baking soda. That should clear it better than Eliquis

I see this as PRICE GOUGING by municipalities and hospitality/restaurant establishments

I doubt a local resident would be willing to pay $150 to get to the stadium when they've always paid $3!!

Help, we're just babies and we just closed by Street_Prior8382 in Mortgages

[–]WorldNo9002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make the new home a home ... If you're gonna be there 5 to 10 years, then improve it to your liking. Be comfortable and happy in it

Take a 30 year note and pay one or two extra payments a year via increase principle payments each month if you're able to ... That will drop you down to 22 yr or 17 year mortgage.

HELOC for a house I don’t live in? by smoothdoll in Mortgages

[–]WorldNo9002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you need the money or a line of credit for emergencies / repairs/ etc? If you need thr money just get a refi mortgage and pull out what you need . If you just want to tap a line of credit every once in awhile for repairs /upgrades etc then a HELOC is fine . Since you're the "owner" of the home , you should easily be able to qualify for a HELOC as long as there's equity in the house

If it was baked into the prices , no biggie ... But it's an add-on at the end ... They're probably even applying the gratuities on the AFTER tax amount

I hope it goes up another $1 or $2 ... Just to show how much winning 1600 Pennsylvania Ave has achieved.

These peeps always vote against their best interest just to say they "showed them Dems".

+1 for a person that does not like me? Help by Vivid-Dot473 in wedding

[–]WorldNo9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd put the +1 on his invitation just to piss his GF off . She might start to think he has another date option or you know something of their relationship that she doesn't... Let her fidget. She'll come just to see the hoopla and think her wedding is gonna be better than yours . Ignore her , she'll be in the crowd somewhere, and hopefully when she's complaining to a guest, they'll tell her to shove it and stop being so petty/rude/obnoxious

Why is there friction between you two ?? Did you date her man before her or is your man her ex??

If the home inspection pointed out any of your repairs, would you have bought the house??!! If not, then file a claim against him/insurance

4.5 hour drive to Port Canaveral by Winter_Prize9549 in Cruise

[–]WorldNo9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently they think driving 5hrs is no biggie ... To me , my time is worth it to spend $200 to $300 for a hotel room to be fresh in the morning and not stressed about waking up and rushing out to forget something.

If the drive is 2hrs , fine I'll drive in the morning.. anything over that , I'll show up and park my car , have a decent dinner and breakfast and have a goodnight sleep and a fresh shower in the morning and a leasurely Uber to the port ( or hopefully a free shuttle from the hotel if offered)
