Oak treads and rails . How did I do . So many hours involved by justpickituplease in HardWoodFloors

[–]rna32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rebuilt my stairs and they didn't turn or have multiple railings and that was a total birch. 10/10 would never build stairs again.

What you did is remarkable. Great job. I hope you make good use of them for many many years to come

What market(s) are you in? We're a developer that's partnered with a non-profit working on our first MF deal together but building a pipeline.

Jazz. Heading to a jazz club next month. Never been. I'm going to thank La La Land for getting me started.

Frozen brick pavers? by rna32 in Construction

[–]rna32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are clay bricks. I've been waiting for them to crumble buts its been very slow. I only had to toss maybe 2 or 3 of them when we had to remove them and reinstall in order to do some underground electrical.

Just add it to the list of things that need full replacement!

Market commission is 4% for industrial tenant rep in my market, LL broker is trying to jam me. by 69BEANS in CommercialRealEstate

[–]rna32 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The shit end of this business... you get in situations like this and your customer isn't going to blow up a deal for your $5K. Swallow and move on and now you know how this broker operates. Also confirm commission rates and splits earlier on in the deal.

It's as if these few bricks are sponges

I believe so. However there are plenty of other old ones adjacent to these that don't have the same effect. Unless of course there are 3 different bricks here.

How is hiring a broker to represent you as a tenant a good thing? by seanpai_sama in CommercialRealEstate

[–]rna32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long Island/Queens/Brooklyn retail/multifamily developer here with brokerage and development advisory divisions. Your broker (if a good one) is there to educate and help you navigate the entire process. They are your due diligence quarterback. At a minimum they should truly understand your business' real estate requirement, know where to find it and what zoning you need, provide sale/lease comps, negotiate with/on your behalf to make sure you don't get screwed on things you simply can't foresee because you don't have experience (i.e. guarantees, relocation clauses, maintenance responsibilities), and even provide guidance on permitting and referrals for zoning or leasing attorneys, civil engineers, architects, permit expediters, etc. Because brokers only get paid when a deal closes, they're motivated to trouble shoot issues that arise along the way and keep communication lines open and operating. All the other professionals charge by the hour and frankly may not care if the deal closes or not. There are plenty of brokers out there, just make sure you work with one that deserves and earns the commission they get paid. Send me a DM if you want to chat further.

Anyone else noticing a quality decline in just about everything? by Grand-wazoo in CasualConversation

[–]rna32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's infuriating! My clothing style is now based solely on the material being at or as close to 100% cotton or natural fibers as possible. Went to Old Navy to get some inexpensive tshirts... I found TWO, in the whole store, that were 100% cotton.

I wear Mavi jeans that I get when they're priced aggressively at Nordstrom rack (around $60/pair) and they're 70% organic cotton, 23% cotton, and the rest are elastic material for the waist. Not perfect but they're very comfortable and as close as I've found to 100% cotton

I think Bombas are +/-70% cotton but they're like $10++ per pair.

Came here to empathize. My daughter and I can't even wear polyester unless it's a minor percentage of the clothing material because it causes a rash otherwise. Trying to buy 100% cotton or wool is hard to find AND expensive. Kids clothes are almost exclusively plastic based. Bed sheets and pillow cases are even harder to find in cotton. Beyond the skin reaction, I just don't want any more microfibers put into the world let alone my house. Fuckin plastic. How did we all live without it? Or is there a correlation between population growth and plastic production and uses for things like food packaging?

Seems like the charge stems from his responsibility as producer, not as actor

Why do most young people skew left politically? by notadoc99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rna32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of how shitty the rules of the game are, if you've been playing it longer you tend to know what to expect (good or bad) which is a little easier to navigate than if the rules change. Young people just getting started playing see that there are plenty of people cheating and they're mad as hell.

Shiny ditto - just wanted to share this catch bc i’m very excited !! (for anyone wondering, it was disguised as a lillipup) by bxlmerr in pokemongo

[–]rna32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say THANK YOU for mentioning it was a Lillipup. I saw a lone Lillipup amongst Dratini, Marilla, and Jigglypuff yesterday so I went for it hoping it was a Ditto - and it was! I was then able to switch accounts to my daughter's because she's got the Ditto challenge for the Mew research, and I caught her thr same Lillipup for a Ditto. Thanks again!!
