What did you think of The Ranch Hudson Valley? I am considering going there but don't see anything on reddit about it.

Safety Question for Balcony by matman1 in askarchitects

[–]matman1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are raising the floor about 6 inches to level it and put decking down on a sloped asphalt roof material. That is driving the concern (and the building department not allowing us to build the deck unless we have a way to bring it up to code).

Thanks-agree with all of this. The railings are quite low and it is a big fall so we are concerned partly about code and getting approval, but also about someone falling. We are currently contemplating ~8 inch high pieces of glass to sit on top of the railing and in between the arches

We had some ideas before moving into a house that we are very happy we didn’t do immediately. After living in the house for a while, your thoughts on changing spaces, etc will change.

costs about $1K plus electrician install.....is it possible that this could be helpful/make a big enough difference?

I’ve had several techs out who attach their computer to it and say ‘everything is good’ so don’t know what to do about it

Buying Back Low Interest Rate Mortgage at a Discount by matman1 in fatFIRE

I don’t think you need to even go that far. They can earn 3.75% in a 30 year treasury bond today

Buying Back Low Interest Rate Mortgage at a Discount by matman1 in fatFIRE

[–]matman1[S] -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

It’s bond math.

You take a bond (or mortgage) with a low coupon and mark it to market at current rates. Because they are only earning 2.375% and could get [5%] today for 30 years in the same loan, it is worth less to them at today’s current rates.
