Need siding guy for small job.
I have a two foot bump overhang of second floor over first floor. There is "soffit" siding that is the underside of it for aesthetic reasons I supoose. I want to pull down that soffit and spray foam that overhang there is virtually nothing keeping the cold from entering hiuse via the overhang. I've spent a long time figuring out how I can get those sofdit pieces off without mangling my siding. If you know anything about siding there is a science to the order you install things and special skill (bending trim and aluninim etc) Yes i could just yank it down and smush it back up but I've seen one Neigbor do his and it looks awful the reassembly. I'm extremely handy and will do the soray foam myself. I just want an expert to button it all back up for me So I'm lookimg for a guy who has that know how to get some quick cash. PM me if you got any recommendations. I'm zero for 3 calling siding guys out of the blue they said it's not wirrh their time. This Over hang has nothing to do with roof venting at all. If i had known the insulatiom in that area was gonna be so poor i wouldnr have even opted for an overhang. I'm surprised my toilet never froze the toilet is partiallly in that bump overhang area.

Howard Stern on the Second Amendment
100% he carries. That's the number one reason why he has a "man purse" He loves Hickock45 Howard is obsessed with guns. Anytime a celebrity is in that did an action flick he asks them what it was like to shoot full auto. He practices a lot. He knows Wayyyyy too much about telling stories of guys at the gun range. ("I see these guys at the range they can't wait to walk around with their holster...") Bobby Duvall was just on they are good friends and his wife asked Howard when he will come visit them in Virginia and Howard asks "do you walk around with a gun like a cowboy down there?" And Bobby replied "no, that's not me...we know that's your thing not me.."

Extreme FID wait time need advice and assistance
I have no doubt that if you pester the wrong guy it could mess you up. But you clearly said "a case law was upheld because of pestering". Like that was literally in the transcript? C'mon man... If you want to take back he actually said "pestering" came up in in a court case (and again how many delays actually go to a trial) then here is your chance. If you want yo say "multiple people have told me pestering will work against me " then fair enough. But if you TRUST the community of this board you will overwhelmingly get success after success story of the guys who dont let up get their permits done. I'm just trying to give you the experience here versus the "pestering" advice. (Again brother, not picking on you I'm trying to help.. Was just blown away by that attorney guidance reason). I sympathize tremendously for you... Wish I could buy you a beer. Edit: I'll tell you what. Get that pestering case number and PM it to me and I will send the $25 to your attorney to help out. I'm dying to know this case.

Extreme FID wait time need advice and assistance
I will pay someone $25 cash if they have the ability to dig up a "case" that has "pestering too eager" in it. Who has access to those lookup databases? I'm smelling BS from an attorney. Prolly just to get more time or money out of you. OP don't get offended I said that. You don't need to defend him/. It's so outlandish I won't believe anything until I see that case summary.

Subsequent Pistol Permits Delayed for Expunged Juvenile Record
The fact that nowadays literally ANY time your name shows up in a police databas "your name was on a high school fight report" as a reason for delays just makes me want to NEVER call the police for anything. Nothing good can come out of it in the future. "Oh I see you had an altercation with kids trespassing on your lawn" So back a month after Newtown I had a case of 223 sent to my house. FedEx said delivered. it wasn't there. So being it was an extremely sensitive time the next day i thought notifying the PD my rifle ammo is missing. Didn't want to be the subject of news story "man doesn't report 1000 rounds of anmo missing" So a cop comes over and I said "I'm just doing the right thing here. Maybe someone stole my stuff." So a day later the ammo arrives from FedEx late. I call the PD that I got the package. I haven't applied for pistols since then but who wants to think I get tripped up on that?

Fleeing NJ: Tepper's Move May Affect New Jersey Budget Forecaster Warns
Howard I hear what you are saying but the fact of the matter is it's a myth that it's a good investment. I would argue a little with your assertion that "you have an asset" at the end. But at what cost? My example was even too simplified with my moms "double" on her house. In reality a 30 year mortgage is really like paying 3x for your house. I do agree that you have an asset and your best hope would be to "break even" total return over some time period. But let's put some real numbers behind that asset. Let's say you were lucky enough to find a house you like for same as your rent (don't forget about real estate taxes and insurance). Nowadays you need to fork up 20% down payment. On a $300k house that's $60 grand. If you still rented and invested the $60k I'd say you'd have quite a big "asset" at the end of whatever term you want relative to the house. Look, I own a house too. It just gets me going when kids nowadays say they want to buy instead of rent "as an investment". It's a Terrible investment. I have a friend who who was paying $4500 a month mortgage back in 2006. Lost his job defaulted on the mortgage. Now he rents a huge colonial in Harrington Park for $3200. His credit is coming back and I asked him if he would buy the place and he said he loves renting. Taxes going up? Not my problem. Furnace breaks not my problem. Oh an ice dam leaking water in? Not my problem. The only risk he runs is if the owner doesn't want to renew and he'd have to leave. People need to get it out of their head that renting is a bad thing. The home ownership thing is then entire country is only like 60% anyway.

Fleeing NJ: Tepper's Move May Affect New Jersey Budget Forecaster Warns
Regarding dirt as an investment. If you are buying outright with cash. Yes. If you are taking out a mortgage its the worst investment ever period. So many people think making 10% or 20% or 30% on a house was a "gain" for them as they are clueless that the mortgage COST them 50%. My clueless mother: "my house has doubled in value since we bought it". Okay mom what is the sum of all the payments (interest payments) over that 25 years? Guess what. You paid for your house 2x over. Don't ever buy a house (with a mortgage) as an investment. Investing in the stock market (unborrowed money) always beats investing in a house with Mirtgage money, total return vs total return all the time. Google it.

Mini fridge
Is there such thing as a mini fridge that is big enough to hold a turkey? Side by side fridges can't hold shit if you have it loaded up with stuff for a party. (Appetizers, vegetables etc). All the mini fridges I see online are really only deep enough for beverages. How come they don't make the mini top lid freezers in a refrigerator setting? I saw a top lidfreezer chest like 2x3. Was perfect size if it was only a fridge. I want a mini fridge for the basement but I want it deep enough to fit a turkey.

NJ Resident - Why Would I Want CC Permit for Other States?
If it's a given to save your life that's what I was hoping more of what the OP would get out of asking the question. It came across to me as perhaps it was phrased more like "why would you want a permit in another state if you don't live there?" And I didn't want to start a ruckus about the "only when I'm on vacation". I wanted to reply "oh great, please tell me these vacation spots where there is a guarantee you will not be a victim of crime?" Look, I don't have any permits so take FWIW my words... But I thought the theme of carry here was always be prepared. I don't know how vacations are exempt. Maybe this is for a different topic.

NJ Resident - Why Would I Want CC Permit for Other States?
Wow. Nobody here said "Because it could save my life in another state" So I guess the OP was right. It really is "just Bexause"

NJ Resident - Why Would I Want CC Permit for Other States?
If you bought a car that came equipped with a 5 point safety harness, but in NJ thy deemed that safety harness illegal ("you will trap yourself in the car!" "You need training to secure a safety harness!"). But that safety harness was legal to wear in 38 other states. You drive your ct everywhere in NJ but you don't use the safety harness. So when you drive over to DE for a day, or a week, if you travel to Florida for a week, do you not strap on the safety harness as soon as you cross the state lline? Do you say "well I'm only driving here for a week, why bother with the safety harness". Your car HAS the ability to protect you better and you choose to NOT wear it in other states? All the other states feel it's okay to let you wear that safety harness but you will choose not to just because you are from NJ.

Blue tooth printer?
Ahhhh I think I get how it works. It's the PRINTER that has it's own wifi signal. It's not the router. The PC finds the printer... Not the printer finding the network.

Blue tooth printer?
If anybody answers this.. please throw in a little explanation of how printers can work WIRELESS when the PC its drawing from does NOT have a wifi network. My father is zero tech savvy and got a new PC and a printer and I absolutely know for a fact he does not have a wifi network set up yet his printer is working wirelessly. he said a neighbor came over and connected it. How can you work wirelessly without a wifi? (and I doubt his PC has Bluetooth). Do some modems nowadays send out a signal anyway? do you just type the SSN number of the modem/router into the printer and voila it works?

NJ R Legislator thinks he and judges are better than us
If you live in that Bergen County and Passsic district and you are reading this and you DO NOT CALL THIS GUY and ask him to clarify if he really thinks his type should be exempt while everybody is not you are a disgrace. I'm serious. I'm gonna start looking at towns on your Avatar and ask you "so what did Cardinale say when you spoke to him about exemptions to justifiable need?" We always talk on here about taking action with politicians. Here is your chance. If you are a member of this board and you don't confront him on this you are scum. I'm sorry I'm being so harsh here. But if he is your legislature you cannot just let him get away with this without more info. It really sounds from his quotes he wants privilege. I expect to start seeing his answers below.

Anyone drop their flood insurance
And I suppose the hundreds of houses down the shore that had no mortgages for generations and thus no requirement for flood insurance that got devastated and now are getting HANDOUTS for repairs and elevation and that money is coming from Fema, and I've paid premiums for a decade and never had a claim. I'm just "well tough you bought in a flood zone"

Anyone drop their flood insurance
No. you cannot get a refund from Fema in the middle of the policy. You can only switch during renewal time. Your only option would be to refinance your mortgage. That way you get back the fema money on the old mortgage and use the private market flood for the new loan Regarding people saying "why risk not paying it?" It's dollars and sense. Would you voluntarily pay 6 thousand dollars a year for auto insurance? No you would not. You would say "why would I pay that much in premuims given the amount of loss I would take in an accident?" For the MAJORITY of homes in NJ that are by a river or lake the damage is only flooded basement which is always under ten grand in claim (don't forget a two grand deductible!). The risk is NOT total home rebuild. The typical FEMA premium now is almost 4 grand a year for $200k Hiuse. So do the math. 4 grand premium for a ten grand claim. So the people that would voluntarily drop if they were allowed to are thinking "if I go 3 years without a claim the I'm ahead of the game. Any flood loss after that is gravy for me" It's not abiut choosing no insurance it's about choosing not to be robbed by FEMA. Private insurers are now finally writing policies at HALF the premium of FEMA for AE designated zones (most of NJ) because they saw that FEMA was pricing it way too high now

Anyone drop their flood insurance
BHUNTED Shame on you. Please do not spread misinformation: "- You cannot shop for flood insurance. It is pretty much guided on a federal level with Fema. So no matter where you go to shop, it will be the same." This has been discussed here: http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/79496-do-you-pay-fema-flood-insurance/?hl=fema And it has also been discussed at the Passaic Valley Flood Board. And posted in the local paper
