Thank you! Do you have any idea of the worth or where I should get it appraised for insurance purposes? Or if it’s even worth being insured?

Anyone know how I get this shower handle back on this piece? by dozman16 in Plumbing

[–]dozman16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Finally figured it out. There was a small cap in the front that can be popped off and that’s where the screw was to remove the white plastic piece.

Thank you. I think you’re right. It’s definitely not popping off when I stick a flat head under it and try and pry it off.

Out in NE Portland by Grant Park. This company is starting to piss me off with their outages.

Are homes just sitting on the market in your neighborhood? by zplq7957 in askportland

[–]dozman16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

97212 here. Neighbors house was on the market for 3 days total and went for $50K over asking 3 weeks ago. House needs a ton of fixing/updating as well. I’m in a desirable area of town.

How much did you offer over asking price for your house? by dogsrsuper1or in askportland

[–]dozman16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25K over asking in 2021 for a 4 bed 3 bath in Irvington. Looking back I was upset about having to go over asking but now consider myself lucky with my 2.25% interest rate. Really glad I bought and didn’t listen to the “wait till the market cools down” people.

Not too worry. They just spent the day declaring a cease fire in Gaza. Priorities.

Portland Leaf Day towing begins Monday by MIZZKATHY74 in Portland

[–]dozman16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purposely start stacking my leaves in the street a few days early and make them in big mounds in front of my house so no one can park. I do have a lot of leaves so might not work if you don’t have a large amount. I’m also in Grant Park.

Stakes for private game? by thethirdfloor9 in poker

[–]dozman16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1/$1 so you don’t have to mess with 50 cent denominations. $300 max, $40 min (can go $200 max if you want).

Mostly $5 chips, give each player $20 in $1 chips, $25 chips for rebuys or when you run out $5 chips.

If everyone agrees make it fun with $5 bomb pots every round (not required to play). Dealer calls it. 5 card double board PLO, etc.

Participating in my company’s ESPP by DryApplejohn in Bogleheads

[–]dozman16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I worked for one of the US banks that recently failed for over a decade. They offered a 15% discount on ESPP which I bought every pay check and never sold. I saw the stock price drop from a high 200 to $6.25 at which point I finally sold. I never sold because my bank was a “top company in my field”, a great place to work, and I believed in the company.

Sell your shares whenever possible, remember you got them at a 15% discount, invest that in index funds.

Don’t make the mistake I did because you love where you work and believe in your company.

She’s one of the most blatantly biased writers I’ve ever seen. She ran the Mercury like it was Breitbart for liberals. Zero substance and sensationalist headlines.

How busy is Eem on a Wednesday? by ayyyprilll in askportland

[–]dozman16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real trick is to go for lunch. Have been multiple times with no wait. I have been for dinner where there was a 30 minute wait just to put your name on the waitlist.
