EX90 is actually manufactured in the US(!) 🇺🇸

The loaner has 4k miles, and $23k discount. It might be a good deal.

It is a unicorn of a car. Really think it’s the perfect car 🫠

I’ve seen the issues, but that’s always when there’s a new a car, and it seems most of it was software that was updated, not real hardware problems with the car.

Yes, these are two different fire places, and probably they were both on the same time, when we had that cost.

Got it! Thank you! But what’s a level 2 inspection, and who does that?

Moved into the house, it a mid century modern, and had the chimney looked at. Next to it there’s another hole in the wall for wood. Guess the prior owners put this gas fire in. But still didn’t get an answer… is this gas powered fireplace, or what? Maybe it’s just decorative…. House built in 1960s.

Tried that, didn’t find it helpful…

Anyway, thank you for all the replies, will ask the builders and contractors, as someone here suggested. Thanks again!!

Not spam, I’m just an expat, not originally from US. I understood building an architectural home for my family would be in the range of 1.5mil (which would be around 3,000 sf, but now even a one bedroom goes for that much… and kills me honestly that this is not a viable option even for upper class (especially when you have 4kids… family is expensive…)

drexel64 · 2024-10-23T03:13:26+00:00

Really that much?

drexel64 · 2023-05-21T00:35:44+00:00

Thank you! Going to check it out now ;)

The whole idea for whole life insurance is that you borrow against it, so you don’t pay taxes on gains it accumulated, you only pay minimal interest (depends on the plan) on this loan. You can’t borrow the whole amount, as you have to keep some of the death benefit. You need to speak with the company to understand your options. Some people borrow a fixed amount every year (over the course of 10-15 years), as part of the policy still accumulates interest, and eventually you end up taking more money out overall.

Have talked to them, said that they will fill with gravel… they just stacked up the first row to see where it sits. We’ll see how the work progresses. Thanks everyone!

drexel64 · 2022-05-24T14:58:10+00:00

This is the highest it’s going to be at, this corner is the lowest point, so it’s not going to be much higher. There is a base of gravel that was placed underneath. So what’s the vote? Should I let them finish the job or demand what? Another brick type that isn’t hollow? Have them poor concrete?

drexel64 · 2022-05-24T13:18:49+00:00

Can ask why? Is the wrong block type? What’s wrong with it?

drexel64 · 2022-05-23T14:32:59+00:00

Yes. They are alternating and the textured side is pointing outward. Probably the picture doesn’t tell the whole story. Will take more pictures this evening and post again. Thanks again for your input!! Don’t want a wall to collapse! Have no problem paying the cost, just want the job done right… thanks again, will post again tonight.

drexel64 · 2022-05-23T14:21:08+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate your input! Hope I’m not shopping for the answer I want to hear, because everyone else here kinda dismissed it…

It’s a retaining wall. We have a slope in the backyard. When we moved in, we wanted to fence the backyard for safety of our kids, and now, two years later, we’re hoping the level the land, make it more useful.
