So, this will vary state to state, and nir asking for legal advise... I've never private party sold a gun to a stranger. Son is trying to trade his truck and 2 guns to somebody for a mustang and about a tank of gas in cash. In FLa, we can do private party sales. I told him, get a picture of...

Now, so, he made like $14,500 working in 2023, and I think he admitted; of that, $60 every 2 days on gas; or between $6250-8000 in gas; about $6/day on energy drinks ($2000), and about $8/day that he worked (5 days per week) on food at work ($40/week; another $2080). We did have to help him pay...

Honestly his numbers aren't that extreme at all. Let's say they have their own car, doesn't matter even if they pay their own insurance, because they live in the household, your insurance will go up atleast $300/month. $200/month for school lunch, it's about half that around here, but it is...

Shoot; with 5 of us, we are probably at $300-350/week at the grocery store. Now, that's not 100% groceries, and includes general stuff, like dish soap, toilet paper, laundry stuff, ect.

Thanks, those sound interesting. Black berry's are a bit rough because they need so much water during fruiting; and typical types, that right during the driest oartnof the year, April-May. Not sure if I'm going to plant any long term stuff, till we figure out if we are staying here or buying a...

It might seem counter-intuitive, but you that privacy you like tends to work against sales. Not saying remove the bushes or the maple; but a heavy trimming a few months before ready to list might be worth while. If I were you; it's worth $500 to have a cleaner come deap clean the home It's...

I do not think a standard home inspection checks for asbestos or lead. Now, a home buyer could always pay for a much more detailed inspection, beyond what is required by their loan, but that would be a small minority. Here is a screen shot of the resulting search. The end result is not knowing...

There is no obligation to remove asbestos or lead based paint; and there is still gonna be the blanket line about "homes build before xxx may contain lead based paint", and that's still going to be on everything, whether it's removed or not, it's a standard blanket statement. I would Not remove...

Popcorn cielings; if the existing is still in good shape and clean, I would leave it. If it's flacked off in areas, or has a lot of dirt around cieling AC vents, ect; it might be worth removing, and having a knock down texture sprayed; but only if needed.

One of the oddities of home sales; is the outside; people seem to recommend removing bushes, privacy screening, outbuildings; and then the new buyer, first thing, orders a prefab shed, privacy screen landscaping, ect.

Also, if you have old plated brass light fixtures that the brass is nasty looking or something; if your doing the work yourself, some $19 cheap fixtures can be worth it; but a buyer can't tell a $19 fixtures from a $120 one. Same with bathroom faucets, ect.

I have Scanned the comment, but not read every one; I think your money is best spent on Repairs, cleaning, and painting; rather than Updating. Repair damaged base boards, hard core carpet cleaning, scrub grout, pressure wash exterior/sidewalks/driveways; and paint. I wouldn't do any updating...

It seems Arapaho, Chickasaw, and Oklawaha are the primary recommended cultivars around here for black berries due to chilling hours.

I know there have been 500 threads about treating trailer decks already. Most seem to be about useful motor oil; either straight or cut with kerosene, ATF, or diesel. I've got about 5 gal of hydralic fluid sitting in a drain pan, and was just thinking about rolling it on trailer deck, maybe with...

My CK2610, they were pretty open about, "we sell whole 50 hr service kits, but you can run any of the book fluids if you prefer". I can see an argument if you swap filters, as the owners manual doesn't specifically list any other than the Daedong ones, but fluids... the manual lists many...
