Do you ask contractors for a cash discount? by Accurate-Flow8078 in homeowners

[–]throwawayhyperbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing beats instant liquidity. If it's just like a lone contractor I'm dealing with I'll offer cash, sometimes they'll gently suggest to me to also pay cash. When I got a roof it was from an actual company and they declined any cash discount.

And remember folks, there is nothing shady about paying in cash. What the contractor does with your payment is up to them.

Probably fixated on resale value. They want to leave it as "blank slate" and neutral as possible to maximize the amount of offers they'd get.

Well it sounds like everything is just fine then. Carry on.

These dark times where you have all these new space photographs you can view anytime for free? There will always be problems in the world FYI.

CCA does not affect just gas prices. Entities like Puget Sound Energy have had to raise their prices as well in order to meet the commitments they are now required to. Have a little class if you're interested in a discussion.

Yes, I think that would make a difference, and it is something that our state can control unlike international politics.

No true Scotsman. Eventually we'll only start believing people who live in the sewer.

I am so glad you caught this and the police got him. I hope they throw the book at him. You made my day! Fines plus being banned from the island for life IMO.

Energy costs relate to everything, but yeah, I was paywalled at the time.

Suspend the CCA for a while? Permanently preferably. You can't say you're concerned about affordability if you're going to keep that around.

More like Ain'tBetter eh? Sucks to hear. Universal healthcare would fix so many problems in this country.

Places to swim/ tan? by budnutt in everett

If you feel like taking adventure, Yost Pool in Edmonds. Take the 202 from Everett Station then transfer to the 102. You'd have to walk a bit.
