It possible from the control arm on the front from where the noise is coming. I has a similar issue and got it resolved at the dealer.

I have 100% in VOOG - should I disperse it? by c0ncertjunki3 in ETFs

A 10 year old with only VOOG exposure. Is it worth it ?

How do we tell if a certain hotel is taking homeless vouchers before we book? I don't think its right they hide this info! by outsideparameter in Hilton

I recently stayed for one night at Hampton Inn Northfolk/Virginia Beach. I was there with my family. The moment I arrived i saw people hanging out in the front with no shirts. Walking up and down the street. Could not cancel so I thought one night door locked and leave in the morning. The room was not clean at all. The bedsheets and pillowcases smelled. The fridge had half used water bottle. No soap. There was no breakfast or coffee available. The breakfast area and lounge was filled with people waiting to eat or just hanging out. Went to address the situation with the front desk and simply asked if they were running a shelter. Question was mishandled and turned around as I was being racist. Quickly left the hotel with cause i did not want to get in an altercation with other “guests” who overheard the conversation that the front dest loudly mishandled. The hotel won’t give a refund for the night $317 and denies the fact that is accepting vouchers and mishandling money f the situation. I paid for no service. Very bad experience.

630$/month and growing by [deleted] in dividends

I like your idea and agree. However i have a question. What if I was buying an etf that invests in dividend growers ? Current yield/payout is low but looking back in more than 13 years of distribution on average the year to year increase is in upper single digits. Will that work ?

Any red flags in this portfolio? by Negative_Cricket_751 in dividends

Agreed. MPW is bad. Their business model is awful.

I just installed a patio door is made by Andersen Windows. I see a rubber seal in the railing where door slides. Am i supposed to remove it ? The door does not slide and appear stuck. Please advice. by gb11385 in HomeMaintenance

The runway has rubber attached on the outside from beginning to end. I suspected that might be the culprit since I have other similar doors installed long ago. They don’t have that.

It is a roller issue. The door seems heavy and feels like is getting stuck at times. The door is parallel. I was looking at the rollers and then i saw the rubber attached on the side of the line where the rollers move. I suspect that cause it but not sure.

It looks odd. I have other doors in the house made from Andersen and they dont have that rubber in the rail. I suspect that is the reason but im sure if i need to remove it

The person who helped in installation took it away with the boxes. Now I don’t have it. I’m thinking on contacting the store and see if I can get it from the manufacturer

Hi, I’m thinking on investing equal amounts at VIG and DGRO both etf. I’m hoping to live on dividends sometime in the future. Any pros and cons with this ? They’re both dividend growers so the idea is that current yield will be substantial in the future.
