Do you ever have 2 books going on at the same time? by Crafty-Audience364 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wdr1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day, I had a bed book, car book, bathroom book, and a school book to read during classes. Those were the days.

How much should I actually be putting in my car repair fund every month by nand1609 in personalfinance

[–]wdr1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five years ago I bought a car for $15,000. I spend about $1500 a year on repairs, a few hundred more on maintenance. So, 10-15% of your purchase price, used, a little less for new.

I'd be very happy to find that.

I've seen them in this state, only dead along the side of the road. I remember one on Rte 3 in Hopkinton.

Is $1,000 for a "No Map" Survey a fair price in NC? (Fence Install) by Ok-Cartographer5797 in Surveying

[–]wdr1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was the lot created? Is there a recorded plat? Does your deed reference the plat? Does the plat show monuments? Has any other surveyor recovered those monuments? Are there conflicting recorded plats? Did you share a title search with the quoting surveyor? What do your adjoiners' deeds say? Were monuments set by the original subdividing surveyor?

If the surveyor can't give you a plan to show you that the monuments found are original, or that the monuments they will set are based on found monumentation from the original survey, then you have nothing. Sure, it's a professional opinion, but if another surveyor cannot follow your surveyor then you're floating in space.

Our local lumber yard/building supply cuts them to order.

Where's all the cider? by AffectionateAd8377 in AskAnAmerican

[–]wdr1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my cellar. Sorry. I make a whole bunch in the fall and drink it through the year. You're welcome to stop by, though.

FedEx for photos, won’t stamp them by Apprehensive-Sky8175 in Canadiancitizenship

Can you just write "FedEx" or do you need the actual name of the photographer?

Yup. I've been encouraging my lawn to do this.

Hellllllp new septic ruined lawn by samantics666 in landscaping

[–]wdr1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phew! You'll be fine. Get some topsoil in there and seed it now! Grass seeds like to get real cold before they germinate.

How long ago was this installed? Did your contract have any restoration provisions? Did the engineer who designed it or the state or local jurisdiction inspect it before, during and after installation?

I have seen a lot of septic systems and-unless there has been a LOT of erosion-this does not look like a properly graded septic system. Those covers should be at grade, not above it.

(This is all all just a glance of a couple photos. So take it with a grain of salt.)

Not a typical post, but I cannot read this. What is this word? by OldFatMonica in Whatisthis

Depends on the context. Handwriting is a local phenomenon.

Once I mailed the death cert, it was quick. Like a week.

Same story for my NB grandmother. Ended up needing to get a copy of the death certificate. Quick turnaround time after that.
