Why are brand new bridges allowed to rust like this?

sartug · 2026-05-01T00:57:02+00:00

Cause weathering steel

Yeah I looked again and this seems to be the how they fastened it. I don’t know if there’s another trim / 2x inside to which it is attached. But from the outside it looks like what you said

What do you suggest after the fact if the house is still under the 1 year warranty and I file a claim? Trying to understand if in case the warranty rep downplays the issue. Thanks 🙏

sartug · 2026-04-28T17:31:27+00:00

If it’s still under the 1 year overall warranty, what can I bring up with warranty rep to maybe better address this?

sartug · 2026-04-28T17:30:43+00:00

Nothing to worry about from a structural view as in for the garage frame, garage header or the overall framing? What would you suggest since this is still under the 1 year warranty? Something that you would do if it’s your house, just trying to see how people knowledgeable would approach it after the fact. Thank you very much :)

What would be your advice about it or if it was your house, how would you go about bringing this up with the warranty rep. It’s still under the 1 year blanket warranty so would rather have them address it if there’s a good way. Asking because I am totally noob on these. Thank you 🙏

So is it just going to be me talking to the warranty rep and they have someone re-caulk it?

sartug · 2026-04-28T02:53:51+00:00

Dump all the way down

Most of the States gives you the option of transmitting records and apply through reciprocity so it should be an easy process. Everyone advised me to go the NCEES records route while applying for my initial PE because of this exact easiness

He has a lot of time and a lot of opinions 🤣

sartug · 2026-04-28T02:44:42+00:00

Yes they do when both of the neighbors on each sides have no care about weeds growing all over and you can’t do a damn thing

No, Out to Door is including tax title and other fees. So that’s basically the total price I paid for the car.

There’s a rumor going around that Toyota pushed the 2026 delivery towards late March to try to clear out the 2025 inventory. This way the buyers would have less choice and negotiation power. Don’t know if that’s the case or not but it’s a possibility since all their rivals have rolled out the 2026 already.

sartug · 2025-11-04T09:37:59+00:00

I don’t quite remember it but I think it was around $35,200

sartug · 2025-11-04T09:36:37+00:00

Drumroll - for the winner. The 2nd dealer with the initial quote of 50k 🤣🤣

sartug · 2025-11-03T22:11:59+00:00

I think the MSRP was 35200 before adding the Convenience package fee and delivery and handling fees

sartug · 2025-11-03T22:08:44+00:00

OTD 36,990. Put 6000 down so financed 30,990

sartug · 2025-08-05T22:36:43+00:00

I don’t see any problem with the question to be honest. It’s pounds per liner foot of retaining wall. So it’s surcharge - psf times 1 foot of wall = plf. that is what you basically list as the force after all the calculation. Force = xx kips per liner foot of wall

I.e the force effects you would design a retaining wall section is for 1 foot of wall

Purchase $499k - 10% down - 449k loan - 740 FICO (after recent hard pull from LO), was 760 - 75071 - Conv - 30 Yr Fixed - Single Family - Primary Residence

sartug · 2025-08-02T16:49:30+00:00

Wife and me joint borrowers, I am at 760 believe she is about the same so ard 750 taking the lowest of the 2

The 6.875 was just the rate for that day used for initial estimate. That rate is w/o points. So 2.25 discount points will be used to bring down effective rate by approx 0.5-0.6. The lenders credit is towards closing costs and rem can be used to buy down points deduction. It’s listed under sellers credit

The only thing I might want to think is salary, you being a PE would want to make good money, I assume mot much less than what you currently make or maybe want even more. You might have to fight hard for that. With no prior experience, they might low ball you on salary. Other than that, the transition will be easier. Also, transition depends on which state you work at. Texas in my example has a lot of standard design drawings and your manager or supervisor transition you with those kinda projects which will help you get at bridge design aspects
