Because the popular mindset is a an older car you pay cash for isnt reliable. And/or it is more expensive to repair an older car than just buying something newer.

The reality is people judge each other for the cars they drive and your average person is scared to be seen as the broke ass they are driving a beater. So they make terrible financial decisions buying cars they can't afford and find ways to justify it.

Are you sure it isn't slope like that for a reason, like seasonal rains where you need the drainage? If there is ever large amounts of water the sand will get washed out.

False, there are soils that are none frost susceptible (NFS) like dry gravel that don't heave.

In some soils a footing to the frost line isnt sufficient to prevent frost jacking. Where the freezing soil heaving lifts the footer out of the ground with friction along the sides instead of from heaving underneath.

Or really anything flammable. Trees, dry grass, etc.

There are likely construction drawings for any new construction. What there aren't and you probably want is asbuilt drawings showing any changes that happened. Those require each sub elec, hvac, plumbers, framers to keep red lines to give back to the engineer or architect and some one to then make all the corrections.

Not uncommon on large commercial jobs, would cost more than the average person would want to spend in residential construction. Also asbuilts usually aren't perfect even after all the time and money spent on them.

An average month. February is 4 weeks 75% of the time.

You can have emotions without displaying them to everyone. You can be sad without crying, angry without screaming, etc.

Do your clothes feel best when they are new? The only new clothes I love are socks. Everything seems so much better about 20 washes in.

Anything with elastic don't dry on high heat. It breaks it down so fast.

Why isn't all this renewable infrastructure being built in California? Why export power generation and its down sides to places like Wyoming while reaping all the benefits.

Where I am the bank does it, got my title about 3-4 weeks after paying off the loan.

These things are going to be something future humans laugh about because we were poisoning ourselves.

Never had a problem sanding through paint.

I haven't ever seen primer and paint over a smooth patch look like orange peel though.

That was terrible advise. If the patches are sticking up you sand them down to even with the wall. Then you texture those spots. They sell cans of spray texture at the box stores, get a piece of cardboard and do some practice to get a texture that matches your wall. A couple you tube videos for technique would also probably help. It is an art to get it close to matching. Then you prime and paint the wall.

My wife disagrees.

Or one of you buy the house and the other pay rent until you are married.

It is also really common for couples who are breaking up to come here and ask how to get out of the house. They don't have enough equity to pay any seller fees, they don't have cash to pay to sell, neither qualifies for a big enough mortgage to refinance etc. So they either end up being roommates or one decides to torpedo everyone's credit by leaving the other holding the bag.

On/off is cheaper because it just uses a basic on/off thermostat and zone valves.

When you want to have a floor setpoint you need additional analog sensors, modulating valves, an interface to set the temps, and controllers with appropriate i/o to monitor/control it all.

For most not rich people slippers are the right answer.

Look around, you can't not be part of something bigger than yourself. You may not feel important or necessary but you are still part of it. You may not affect 100s or even 10s of people directly but we all affect someone or something with our time here. That effect ripples through time affecting many more people than we will ever know.

Depends on how static the other variables are. Hint they probably aren't or others wouldn't be using pressure control.

Also please explain how you intend modulate the current? Most speed controllers adjust voltage, frequency or resistance which do change the current but it isnt a direct correlation the load on the motor at a given speed changes the current.

"Needs" may not be 100% true, as in legally required. My dad and I share all three names I have never been a junior.

He left when I was 5 so it wasn't really a day to day issue growing up.

I love how different this is depending on where you live. Have topped off a bunch of different boilers in the US never had to open a panel to find the fill valve. Always commercial boilers or single family homes in a high heating load area.

Only on a laod bearing wall. Sometimes they are just there to hold the sheet rock, electrical, etc.

Just swap the door knob to one with what you like. If you can get one that matches what is there except it had the lock. Will make it less likely anyone else notices. Save the old one and switch it back before you leave.

Just do every other one then switch. Builds up the legs.

And when you burn your place down there isn't anyone to sue but yourself. Your insurance may even try to fight covering it because of what you were doing.
