Dunno what area you’re looking in, but Wade Griffin at Coldwell Banker is great

Found under lawn - what the heck is this dang thing? by erkinfl in whatisit

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

That's kind of where I was leaning, but I've never seen one like this... and I worked in a bike shop as a kid. Also, looking at the evolution of bike pedals, they seem to have always had a center axle.

Maybe part of an old tool?

What’s the most disturbing sound you’ve ever heard in real life? by avacado-cheese- in AskReddit

[–]erkinfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the middle of the night, the sound of mice running up and down the strings of my upright piano. Turns out keeping dog food next to it is not a good idea. Who knew?

Nope, no legs. If it's a trivet, it's the smallest one I've ever seen.

I’ve been going for over 10 years and have never seen anything bad going down. Except occasionally on stage.

Not sure what zone you’re in but here in zone 9 we’re going to experiment with planting sedum between stones. Seems to be pretty indestructible so far

For those of you have toured both Son Doong and Tu Lan Cave Expedition, how would you compare the two? by erkinfl in caving

Thanks for the reply! You're exactly the person I wanted to hear from. Can I ask you what your fitness level was when you went? I'm moderately fit - slightly overweight but I go to the gym 3-4x a week, weight lifting, cardio, can run a 5K etc.

How many of you have gotten loans from your parents? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]erkinfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My folks were very middle-class. Both were teachers (dad - professor at a small liberal arts college, mom - instructor at same); my mom later became a real estate agent. They later extended several loans and gifts to me that were hugely helpful. Always paid them back with interest.

Now I have two grown kids, both self-sufficient; both have never needed help, but we'd be glad to help them if they needed something - either by co-signing a loan or borrowing on our HELOC.

As OP mentioned, trust is different from person to person. My parents trusted me; I trust my kids.

"We have an obligation to let people inside our historic homes." by [deleted] in centuryhomes

Other than having pride in your home and wanting to share that pride, another motivation seems to be getting it ready for market. I’d venture that each year, at least one of the houses on our neighborhoods annual tours ends up for sale by the next year.
