    JP isn't the focus of rate cuts (or not) this year. Have no fear, there WILL be THREE rate cuts this year and starting soon. 1/2 point, 1/2 point, 3/4 point as the Hail Mary. Before Sept 15. Those that know, know.

    I Hate the New Youtube Layout

    Looks like the genius who told everyone at Goog this was a good idea has been told otherwise.... The old layout is BACK, JACK! 🙌🙌

    Misleading headline regarding home foreclosures; is there any integrity in media sources?

    This might be true right now, but I suspect it will change. Yesterday I was in Morrow going to a plant to survey some renovations. I saw what I will call a "mega-plex" of townhouses being built. Big sign out front says "New homes for lease". There is a ~3 year old new subdivision in Newnan...

    Misleading headline regarding home foreclosures; is there any integrity in media sources?

    Do you think 58 is a low number for the first quarter?

    Electrical outlet wrapped in electrical tape

    Used to be standard practice when good tradesmen did residential work.

    Which of these Lexus

    I have a 2015 RX350 that I bought in August 2021 with 160k miles on it. It currently has 228k miles on it. It has had ONE repair in those 228k miles - some oil sensor for the VVT operation. Can't remember the exact part. The previous owner had it replaced at a Lexus Dealer at about 150k...

    Local oil change place mis hap

    Good on the shop / owner for standing up and doing the right thing. Good on you for willing to stand up for your friend. Not many people left today that are willing to help someone out in a situation like this!

    Just hit 200k 2007 CRV

    WOW! That's a huge number for this era Honda. Again, I know Hondas were capable of doing this, my opinion is that the 90's and early 2000's models were probably the best.

    Just hit 200k 2007 CRV

    I forgot about the starter. Had a shop near my daughter's college put one on, about $350 total. I did the valve adjustment at about 180k. I'd say 5 of the 8 needed a minor adjustment. Kind of a pain. Make sure you order the special Honda valve tool before even starting. Get the Fel Pro...

    Is It A Buyers Or Sellers Market Where You Live ?

    I read the statement above about how people who are having babies and raising families need more space. Yeah, probably more than a 1-bedroom apartment. One of the issues today with the younger people is they expect a 3200 sf, 5br/3ba home for their 3-4 person family. They "need" a kitchen 3x...

    Is It A Buyers Or Sellers Market Where You Live ?

    Depends on location (#1 rule in RE) and price range. If it's a home in good shape, move-in ready and in the $275-325k price range, min 3/2, in a decent area, it will sell basically overnight. If it's a beater, needs $100k+ in renovation (everything seems to need $100k min in renovation) and a...

    Just hit 200k 2007 CRV

    Yes, his has the 2.4L engine. Those were around since 2004 or so. These early years were the best. Honda screwed them up about 2011 or so...

    Just hit 200k 2007 CRV

    I think there's about 202-204k on my 2008 CR-V EX-L that my daughter drives. It's "ok", I can't say it's "bone dry" underneath anymore. Looks like the front main seal is leaking, seems to be somewhat a typical issue for these K24 engines. I have an OEM seal and Bando belt ready to go...

    Daughter's trip to JiffyLube

    I'd have a heart-to-heart, sit-down talk with her husband first. My 25 year old daughter constantly tells me that I've made it extremely hard on her finding a boyfriend. She tells me that there aren't many guys out there that could come close to meeting my expectations. Before you start...

    Can't stand it, either. I'm a big YT user IMO.

    HVAC Insiders- Daikin & Goodman

    That don't have a Daikin or Mistubishi label on them. FWIW, I saw a Carrier "Branded" mini-split system several months ago. There was NO WHERE on any piece of equipment the name of the manufacturer. This is Carrier, supposedly a well-respected brand. They have their local reps pushing this...
