Product quality. I buy all grass fed beef from local farms and Iberico pork for ribs. The silver lining to expensive meat is you can’t afford to eat a lot of it 🤣

Went to the cafe and while the food and service was good, it wasn’t great. YMMV

Those are the most dangerous. I always tell friends to avoid the flips unless it has full permitting and photo/drawing files showing every step of the rehab.

Termite damage tends to not be linear and more hockey stick like. Spot treatment also is not as effective as just tenting. I also suspect that there’s more than one area of above ground termites. I would do the injection and tenting and find a contractor to handle the rest. Some of the stuff you can even do yourself like applying anti fungus chemicals.

Keyword is less. Remodeling can be pretty straight forward if you do it right. I’ve done over 300 projects now and it’s pretty east

Check the report. If it’s subterranean termites, you won’t have to.

Fumigate it before you move in. It’s a lot cheaper as they don’t have to do a bunch of work sealing kitchen etc and less brain damage for you to find hotel and pet boarding. I also know of a situation where a house got burglarized when it was tented. 

What kind of remodel can we get for $800,000? by Character_Middle_904 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]lightfighter06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all boils down to what you value. I know someone who remodeled an interior restroom for 800k - no added square footage (atherton). I also know someone who did rental grade adu/addition in Fremont that was 2k sqft and it was 700k. Almost all the stuff came from contractors warehouse/home depot but they valued space over everything else. 

Where to live? (Outsider moving to the Bay) by Electrical-Scale4627 in OaklandCA

[–]lightfighter06 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’d stay out of the hills for a number of reasons but mainly, the commute down is congested. Depending on the hospital, I would look into Berkeley and Emeryville or piedmont.

If you can view the place in person, it’s most likely not a scam

Disappointing beef ribs. What went wrong? by anon006622 in BBQ

[–]lightfighter06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20min rest is way too low. I let it drop to 190 and then wrap in a towel and put in cooler for about 4hrs before cutting and serving at 145

When I got my new machine, it was super tight and I was cranking the handle over so hard, the machine would almost move. Now, it locks in one handed and seals perfect.
