This may not be new to some but first time I have experienced packages being stolen from my front door step. Recently, I have had 2 packages stolen on different days. The second time was confirmed for me as my neighbor said they saw a package on my doorstep but I never got it. I filed a police...

Turns out it was the combination of mulch and too much water in the corner of my house where there is not a lot of sun exposure. The soil was too wet and even though you don't smell it outside, somehow this combination released a smell into my bathroom through the vent hole which is nearby. I am...

Yeah, my toilet seal looks good. I also flushed the sink with lots of water to make sure the p-trap had water in it to create the seal. Smell still persists. :P

Thanks for sharing. I've been in my home almost a year now and it just started to show up last Friday. Really weird. The smell is really strong when I keep the door and windows closed. Something is going on and I am going to figure it out. I will keep you posted.

I read online about breaker boxes and wires crossing or burning the box and creating a fishy type smell. Would that be a result of anything plugged into an outlet or any kind of power being drawn nearby? The powder bath is on the 1st floor so the attic on the second floor does not have access to it.

No droppings anywhere. Everything looks normal based on inspection. We don't even know if it is a dead rodent. Pure speculation. It could be a water leak too but I was told if it was a leak you would see discoloration in the wall. Maybe the leak/mold is hitting the outside stucco wall so you...

That is what we were guessing. Although it was warmer yesterday and the smell for some reason was not there. Then later that night it comes back with a vengeance.

My powder bathroom only has a sink and toilet. Since last Friday there has been a pungent odor emanating from the ceiling fan. I removed the fan and confirmed this fishy type smell was coming from somewhere inside the ceiling. I had a water damage and mold company come out and do a thermal...

Lowe's has 15% off air filters if you buy 4. Use Ebates to get an additional 2% off.

These are the air filters needed in my home. Downstairs (Hallway): 8"x24"x1" Upstairs (Master Bedroom): 10"x20"x1" Upstairs (Hallway): 18"x30"x1" These sizes are ridiculous. Why can't they use standard ones. 8x24x1? WTF?! Couldn't take advantage of this deal...

What size are those planters? Does water stain it? Where are some good places to look for planters? Restoration Hardware is too expensive. Thanks!

All the home builders in Irvine use all the same contractors so really it's all the same. Everyone's experience will be different because everyone has a different level of acceptance level and expectation.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Lucky. It looks great!

Doesn't it really come down to the buyer's preference? Whoever ends up buying your home may put a premium on your outdoor amenities. Assuming they have similar tastes. :)

Also known as contraction risk in MBS space. Since all these MBS are being paid down, investors that get their money back can only rebuy newly issued MBS at lower rates which would lead to less demand which is keeping interest rates from going down further. Definition: Contraction risk is a...

Stocks go up when when risk is on and US Tsy yields are low yielding. If there is an event that causes uncertainty there is typically a flight to quality and people pile into Tsys, driving yields down. Bond prices and interest rates are inversely related. If the 10 year bond goes up, rates go down.

Is there a specific mbs bond I should be looking at on Bloomberg? Pools or TBAs?
