re: What to put in poison ivy or poison oak
Posted by Freebird11 on 9/5/21 at 11:46 am
Soak brown paper bag pieces/strips or just cotton ball in vinegar (apple cider or plain white). Cover affected area. It's helps draw out/dry up the oils that cause irritation....

Need help switching my generator from gasoline to natural gas. Generator is already plumbed to house gas line we just don't know if we can open the valve after starting/running on gasoline and if the conversion kit switches the fuel or if we need to open the line and start straight from natural gas...

Riding it out in Folsom. First big storm since living here. Not worried about flooding but pretty nervous about the dozens of water oaks surrounding the house. Time will tell....
Need help regarding car sale out of state
Posted by Freebird11 on 5/19/18 at 10:03 am
I am looking at a vehicle in south MS listed for private sale but am unsure of how the details of the process would work. I'm looking for any guidance as I, being the cheap person I am, have had the same car since high school and have no experience purchasing a vehicle.
I live in LA, car owner is...
re: Buying used car via Craigslist/private sale
Posted by Freebird11 on 11/29/17 at 3:25 pm
True - which is why I'm leaning towards setting price before the trip to settle the deal. KBB range for private sale is 14.6k to 16.8k. I will say that the car looks to be in great shape and has low mileage so is probably in the middle to high part of that range, but what I am willing/able to pay ri...
re: Buying used car via Craigslist/private sale
Posted by Freebird11 on 11/29/17 at 3:08 pm
It's a 2012 Honda Odyssey - listed for 17k would like to stay at 15k if possible. It's not his personal vehicle - was his father's who recently passed away. Owner is a doctor so I'm assuming he's more prone to making a deal since he's probably trying to just get it off his hands rather than make a h...
Buying used car via Craigslist/private sale
Posted by Freebird11 on 11/29/17 at 2:04 pm
My SO and I are looking for a family car and found one we like on craigslist but would like to stay a couple thousand below the poster's asking price. What in your opinion is the best way to navigate negotiating price through craigslist ad?
The owner is 2 hours away so likely we would purchase th...
re: Patio/Foundation Flooding Causing Water in House
Posted by Freebird11 on 1/2/17 at 8:24 pm
Only master bath. Yard slopes towards house then levels off at paved patio off the back of the house. So after a hard rain, the patio/rear wall of the house will collect standing water and slowly drain around the house.
This is only a problem on one side of the house because the opposite side is...
Patio/Foundation Flooding Causing Water in House
Posted by Freebird11 on 1/2/17 at 8:16 pm
My backyard slopes very slightly towards the back of my house so that rainwater flows under the patio and sits after a very heavy rain then slowly drains around the house to the street.
I just stepped into my master bathroom (backs up to the patio) and found standing water from the back wall into...
re: Wetlands Mitigation - 101
Posted by Freebird11 on 12/14/16 at 12:13 pm
Whether it's a deal killer depends on the type of wetlands and the acreage that you plan on impacting (placing dredge/fill in). PFO1A means "Palustrine Forested" so you will likely have to purchase mitigation credits for a similar habitat. Again the acreage of your impacts determine the amount and ...
re: Parkview Oaks Subdivison
Posted by Freebird11 on 10/11/16 at 12:16 pm
We live in Parkview Oaks - moved here about 1.5 years ago. I love it. We are also young, married, no kids yet. The neighborhood is quiet, people are friendly but not overly nosy. There are plenty of retirees, but some middle-aged families still raising kids, and I'm starting to see some more younger...
re: Need Info on Coursey between Sherwood and Jones Creek
Posted by Freebird11 on 8/14/16 at 9:40 pm
We're in Parkview oaks subdivision just south of coursey between SF and Stumberg. We've been high and dry this whole time. No issues in the area until you go south and hit Jefferson/Tigerbend.
I'm sure your friend is fine- cell phone issues and some power issues persist in the area but no floodi...

I have to second this. I read several financial books when my parents cut the financial cord following graduation. This one, in my opinion, is the best book at giving you the nuts and bolts of building wealth. It illustrates how wealthy individuals have built...

[quote]Pretty sure it's all owned by Duplantiers[/quote]
This. The area is home to University Field - still actively producing oil from multiple wells on the property.
I highly doubt that property would be sold by the estate anytime soon if its still producing, regardless of oil prices....
re: Do you compartmentalize your savings? If so, how do you do it?

Not a MT expert, but I do for the most part.
I have a larger rainy day fund account at a credit union then I have a series of sinking fund/savings accounts through online banks that get funded through each paycheck automatically.
