Comments (18)This decison was the biggest issue before we started to remodel and really held us back from starting sooner (we are now in the middle of it). We wanted to gut the bathroom ourselves but heard how hard it was to get the cast iron tub out. Ours was pink. We had bathfitters come, and the quote was over $3,000 for a custom tub and wall surround. Then we got a quote for reglazing -- $300. He said he would only do it in our downstairs bathroom where we have a window, but will not do upstairs becuase he won't use the chemicals where there is no window -- too dangerous to his health. So we were kind of bummed because getting the tub out from upstairs will be a bear. We were pretty set on reglazing because the downstairs is a guest bathroom and the bath/shower isn't used that much -- unless we move downstairs when we are old :) Then our plumber came to give us an estimate for the rough plumbing -- he suggested not reglazing because it doesn't last, and said here's a hint, take a sledgehammer to the tub -- which we did and it came out in 6 pieces in 1 hour -- and the town took it from the curb. He also begged us not to get our faucets from the big stores so he wouldn't have to rip our walls out in a few years. So now we have a new Kohler white cast iron tub downstairs and are not afraid to face the upstairs bath remodel. We will most likely get Americast upstairs because it is lighter. Just wanted to let you know what we found out about reglazing and an easier way to get the old tub out....See MoreRe-Fi - question re: taxes
Comments (4)Hi Shaun, Why can't the existing mtg company send the money we've paid in for our property taxes to the new mtg company and then *they* can pay them when they are due? I just dont understand this. Can someone explain it to me? I can explain... but unfortunately, the answer's not going to be very satisfying. The reason is beacuse the servicing company (the place you send your loan payments to, who manages the distribution of the cash, and subsequent bookkeeping of where it all goes, and when) is not your mortgage company. It may be a subsidiary of them, or a 3rd party contractor... but its not the actual mortgage company (even if it has a very similar name.) The servicing companies business model is to have as many loans managed per month, by the least number of clerical administrative staff, at the lowest possible hourly rate. In order to accomplish this, their processes are *EXTREMELY* dumbed-down and stretched out. *NOTHING* happens quickly on any out-of-the-ordinary request, and all standard changes (like the turnover of escrowed funds for taxes & insurance when a refinance occurs) is handled in a batched-out manner once a month during a special shift. In short; It COULD be done the way you logically just described... but the rate/fee driven public doesn't want to pay the higher servicing costs for that kind of service. Hope that clarifies (if not exactly creating the warm & fuzzies.) Cheers, Dave Donhoff Leverage Planner...See MoreAnorexia help
Comments (22)I suggest that the husband talk to his wife's doctor and see whether they can formulate a clear plan for hospitalization and treatment. I also suggest everyone around her stop talking about her weight, and stop talking about eating/food, and try to overcome any anger they might have (for some reason the illness does give rise to anger in concerned family members and friends, perhaps due to the helplessness that they feel). Instead, tell her how much she is loved, how she is worthy and needed, and how everyone wants her to be healthy (again, don't talk about her weight or food--focus on her happiness and health). I think that chronic eating disorders are much harder to treat than acute disorders, from my experience. My daughter nearly died from an acute onset of anorexia (at the age of 12). My sister had anorexia as young woman (lost her hair, her periods stopped) and still struggles. And my sister-in-law has battled chronic anorexia as an adult for years, recently seeking out therapy. My daughter finally turned a corner after being treated with medication to battle the obsessive-compulsive aspect of the disorder, but it took hospitalizations, several years of constant care, all kinds of treatments and therapies, and some backsliding, before she could regain her health. Often anorexics have a harsh inner voice that tells them they are fat, ugly, should die, etc. and combating that harsh voice is important (another reason to flood the individual with affection--they are already dealing with a conviction that they are not worthy or are flawed). It is a dangerous and terrible illness. My heart goes out to this family, and to your friend, and I do hope that she can be treated....See Moresusan1
