The first yr was great, now she’s not getting paid and still owes the bank . Her easy money plan stalled . From what I understand the guys going to...

    COVID and the housing market

    The friendship should survive just fine , if everything is thinking like a grownup. They shouldn’t lean on you to finance their dream , and you shouldn’t over extend to make them happy . I’ve never been one to risk or over leverage the principal residence. I’ll dig out of other holes ( I’ve...

One had a ‘spec’ house that he bought with the minimum down , was promptly under water when he could not rent it for his monthly mortgage, he failed to pay two years taxes and in the middle took a twenty k loan to fix some...

    COVID and the housing market

    I’m no real estate investment guru , but I sense if supply outstrips demand , it’s not what you can consider an investment in the traditional sense . When you need to sell other assets or use other cash flow to prop up the “investment “ and cover its debt , and there is no sunshine on the...

    Post up your liquor/spirit talk ?

    @mimico , try a shot and put a half teaspoon of room temperature water in it. It releases the aroma to the nose and takes the intial bite out . Its a scotch drinkers thing , but it also works with high end rums .

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I’d probably use teak oil , since I have a gallon . You can use linseed oil but be sure it’s boiled not raw ( boiled is not actually boiled in has driers added , raw stays wet for ever) . You could use any finishing oil really . If you get teak oil from CTC in the boat section it has a UV...

    Oil Spec for 2025 RAV4

    The modern Toyota engine is built to very tight tolerances ( ok not the Tundra ) and the OW is just fine . Personally I’ll never go sixteen K , I’m a seven eight K guy because it’s cheap and I’m cheap . Engine repairs are expensive. Toyota has a small army of engineers and analysts testing this...
