You can be sure that this is not the first time that water has leaked in. Consider yourself fortunate that you are finding this out now. Was this defect listed on the Form 17 (IIRC that's what it is called)? Solution? Either eliminate water so…

Answer: it depends. Advantages of newer houses include better energy efficiency such as 6" thick exterior walls, double-pane windows, and much better seismic design. Disadvantages of many newer houses include PEX plumbing, use of chipboard (O…

I am encouraged by the list of cars that Deejayoh posted above; people actually are trading in gas-guzzling SUVs for much smaller, fuel-efficient cars. Many of the cars on the list are ones that I recommend people go look at if in the market for a …

Dj, You laugh, but I had friends who owned both of those cars you pictured. They weren't that bad for the time. Were they of the same quality of the Datsuns and Toyotas (The Vega beat the Civic to the marketplace by a year) of their time? No, bu…

Re: Link: 10532 35th Ave NE Seattle, WA 98125 :shock: Holy frickin' crap! $3500/yr property taxes for a (moldy) chipboard shell that's not even remotely livable??? Taxpayers REVOLT! Man the battle stations! Arrrrggggghhhhh! If anything,…

I noticed the same thing, but only when replying to a PM. IE7.0 (I know, I know!) on XP.

I just have to laugh at this idea that we can somehow shoot a silver bullet and "stabilize" the housing market (in other words, STOP the price decreases) without any regard to the underlying financial fundamentals that have governed housing prices f…

OK, here are a couple of reasons why I keep my landline: 1. 911 service knows the address for my home phone number, no doubt about it. If I have a stroke and can't talk, all I have to do is dial 9-1-1 on my home phone, leave it off the hook, an…

Gee whiz you guys! It says dreams happening, NOT that they are becoming reality. And besides, it's a nominal fee to make a tiny '9' to update the year. If they wanted to re-purpose that sign, they could use it to post the cheapest gas price at …

It's about time! That guy is very annoying and I couldn't watch the show for more than a few minutes. Maybe if he treated people a bit better, oh wait, he IS in LA . . .

Redmond too (at least where I live)! And the street-view data is much more recent than their satellite photos. Now, in about 2-3 years from now when M$ decides to finally put their (likely inferior) version of this online (and inexplicably has 9…

This goes along the same lines as one of my favorite 'mericanisms of late: Debt = wealth. Now we're finding out that maybe somebody left a slash out of that equation! And as happened in the Great Depression I (remember, we couldn't start ca…

RCC, Where are you getting the bitter thing from? I don't pick up that vibe from her at all. If anyone is bitter in this political season, it's Hillary, and maybe Bill even moreso.

Taking that a bit further, Deejayoh: McSame-Pain! I watched her speech tonight as well and thought it was excellent. I didn't agree with all of it, and of course much of it was the usual rhetoric -- e.g.how McCain has been fighting the Washingto…

I have a friend with a 1940s house in the Greenwood neighborhood, single-story on a full basement. Since buying it, he has: - replaced the entire water supply system (galvanized out, copper in) - replaced most of the interior drain lines (galva…
