So you think that no administration has ever fixed anything, but the next one will? Even if that administration is a rerun of one of two admins who you feel have never fixed anything? I’m not understanding your point here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that I don't expect things to settle for some time . That's it. It doesn't matter what happens in DC. You might be looking for a correlation that doesn't exist. But, for reference, this all depends on if we hit a recession or not. There is fear that it could happen sooner than later.

When you referenced ‘24 it read as though you felt this was a situation that an election was going to resolve. 2 hours ago, SteelKing728 said: But, for reference, this all depends on if we hit a recession or not.

Bowler1215 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Quick question, how much does it cost to have some trees trimmed? I'm looking it up online and I got an estimate of $3000. Is that average? Too much? I need 4 trimmed, although one is a neighbors who has branches over my property Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need 4 trimmed, although one is a neighbors who has branches over my property seems high, but without more info or pics it's hard for any of us to say. but i'm having an entire tree cut down for some clients (and it's tall!) and the stump ground down and everything hauled off for $3500.

billking Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I took a while to finish the job because of the water damage caused by my old water heater but I replaced it with a tankless water heater and couldn't be more happy with the results so far. I do however need to replace the natural gas line from 1/2" to 3/4" in order to get optimal results from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I want to set up a "smart" home system with controllable lights, thermostat, cameras, and locks. I currently have Hue lights but I should be able to integrate those into most systems. Ring is the big name, but are there any competitors that are better?

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 If you guys were about to put your house on the market, would you pay to have your (small) lawn re-done if it's pretty crappy right now? IMHO it's one of the selling points of the house but idk if it matters enough to a potential buyer where it would justify spending like $3,000 to have it torn up and re-sodded prior to selling to appeal to buyers.

In todays market, no. The lawn, probably rates pretty low on the priority list for potential buyers. If anyone decided, "no that "pretty crappy lawn" is the reason I don't want to have a place to live," then they probably weren't your demographic for buyers anyway. If the house itself is in decent shape, I would suggest listing it for more than you think its worth and giving enough time, before you review offers, for enough showings to happen. Not sure what the housing market is like where you are at, but you can fit several showings in per day and houses last on average, about a week. Hope this helps. (For what its worth, working class families would take a beat up yard and a structurally sound home all day long) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not. I can’t see that being a deal breaker in todays market. A new buyer can come in and overseed and aerate/professionally treat it and it’ll look good as new in a year or two, and that’s something most home owners own and accept to some extent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
