Car Towing Question
Yep, vehicle not driveable. It's like 10 years old and all pushed in so I think its history. Here's another question: if the cops call Joe Blow Towing, does your car have to go to his impound lot? Can you request/demand that your car be taken to another location? I never would have realized that a tower could potentially hold all your stuff hostage. Makes me want to keep my car a little cleaner. What happens if your effed up and go to the hospital and you have a briefcase/computer in the car? There could be eyeglasses, medications, anything, in there. Every day I lose a little more faith in humanity.

Car Towing Question
Somewhere up in Essex County. Tow guy was whoever was on contract to the town and called by the cops. Is it somewhat safe to assume the town would hire a shady ahole towing company?

Car Towing Question
I don't think so. 29 year old guy sitting at a traffic light, broad daylight, middle of the day, rear ended and probably totalled. No injuries. Cops said pick up the accident report in a few days.

Car Towing Question
He is the registered owner, so I don't know why the yard would get shi**y. Can you steal your own possessions from your own vehicle? If he "intrudes" onto the lot during working hours, what are the cops going to do? He has things like house keys and garage door openers in there.

Car Towing Question
Ok car shop folks - here's a question: If a towing company removes your disabled vehicle from the scene of an accident, do they have a legal right to prevent you from accessing the contents of your vehicle? My nephew was in a crash and went to get some odds and ends from his truck - mostly tools - and the guy running the lot said he could not. Who releases the vehicle contents? Cops? Insurance? Vehicle is paid off, driver was not at fault.

Drywall patch
That's also a really good idea. I can usually get the patches tight enough I don't need the tape.

Drywall patch
The video above is pretty much the method I use. Works very well. The mesh patches can have a little give to them and will create a hump like someone noted above. The only other thing I do is handwrite a little note about a suitcase with $100,000 being buried in the backyard and slip it in the hole. I figure if the next homeowner finds it when they remodel it will give them something to do on weekends.

Drywall patch
Cut a piece of sheetrock slightly bigger than the hole. Trace around it on the wall around the hole. Cut along the tracing and you'll have near an exact fit. If there is no structure behind the hole you can screw to, stick a piece of scrap lumber through the hole and use construction adhesive to stick it across the back of the hole.

Every time I interact with "the law" I make it a point to scream, "You'll never take me alive!"

disposing of old gasoline
Only 5 gallons? That's like $17 bucks. Pour it down the drain and make it the sewage treatment plant's problem.

Congratulations Tyler Ham and Ms future Tyler ham
Good advice. It makes the postnup a lot easier. Or just do what I did and don't have an assets. Anyone steals my identity I wager they'd give it back inside a week.

HVAC and consolidating thermostats question
My parents had two thermostats back in the day. They were fairly talented at running the AC and heat at the same time. On the plus side, they could really dial in the temp they wanted.
