[BlindHandyMan] Battery tester.

2010-01-08 Thread Joe Plummer
Hi, I am looking for a battery tester that would be accessible. I want to test batteries like D, C, AA, AAA, 9 vote and 6 vote batteries. I really don't want something that has a gage just something that will say like Best, Good or Bad. Thanks ahead of time for any info. Sign, JP ( Joe Plummer)

I have no legal background, so am talking out of my ass. Firstly, this does not sound like a title claim. I thought a title claim was to ensure that you own the home outright, with no leans or delinquencies against the property. I did not think the title search covers issues such as this.

Yes, I think this goes back to the title company or the appraiser. Whenever I've sold a home, they have to look for the surveyors pins, and if they can't find them, then I've had to pay to have them set. My friend in Hawaii bought a home and was told before the purchase that the people next

Well, I guess that I will try and help take the carport down. I talked to a zoning officer today. The carport must be within 3 feet of a property line. It was illegally erected in the first place. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources

Well doctor Dan, you are exactly right. Having worked for a mortgage company where I removed liens from properties, which involved title searching, this will not fall under a title search. However, on the legal description of the mortgage is, or should be, the boundaries of the property.

I found it quite amusing when I was building my deck to find out what the zoning restrictions were. They said I could build the deck up to three feet from my property line. When I asked about putting the stairs in, they said that the deck was hard construction, but that the stairs were soft

It sounds to me as if the neighbor is unhappy for some reason with his house and the sale from the original owner. He may want more than money since it he keeps pushing his new neighbor to sue the previous owners. Of course, it could just be his way of convincing himself that he is not an ass

Bill, Before you try a acid, use white vinegar and take a headless nail and clean out the holes in the bowl. Than add some CLR to the tank water before flushing. Than about once or twice a week add a 1/4 cup of bleach to the tank. Use to do this in my rentals RJ - Original Message

When I lived in Charlotte, there is a community with high 6 and 7 figure houses. But if your neighbor sneezed, you'd catch what he had. The houses were that close. If I pay a million dollars for a house, I'm not going to want my neighbor living where my garage should be... - Original
