Thank you for the great reply. I know your modern brand recommendations, but the reconditions for older brands is a great idea I'll have to look into.
For anyone that has contractor grade faucets, if you ever get to handle a higher end faucet, or even a lot of the commercial fixtures and compare them to the cheap stuff, it should be night and day.
I replaced my faucets before attempting to sell my house and used ok stuff to modernize, but they're still low end. I ended up not moving, and I treat them nice so they're doing ok.
But they all have plastic internals, the weight is much less, the parts wobble more, and the finish isn't holding up as well as I'd expect of a premium faucet. Even when right out the box, they aren't as nice as a decades old name brand faucet.
They're made to meet a price point. While they will get you the look (potentially) of a high end faucet, it won't hold up like one with better fit and finish, and if it does need repair, your chances of getting the part is likely much better.
Do you want a buy it for life faucet? Or do you need one to last a couple years? Spend accordingly. There's a market for both, and people need to determine which product is right for them.
If you require some superb owls, we just started the quarter finals of the 2nd Annual Lemmy Owl of the Year bracket tournament over at your federated owl-ternative destination, !superbowl@lemmy.world.
There are no friends or a cause you believe in to leave things to?
Power of attorney is one of my big trouble areas. I don't know if I'd want to thrust that responsibility on anyone, and with a meh family and just a handful of good friends, I didn't have many options.
They already went over it with the attorney. I didn't really hear any details how it went, but in another comment here, I tried to look it up, and they advertise the fact right on the main page of their site in a not obscure way, so they don't seem to be pulling a fast one.
I'm not sure if this is necessary, at least at our current wealth level, but just a few moments reading has added this to my list of things to learn more about!
There's a lot of interesting legal and financial aspects to it!
Ah, thank you, that looks very comprehensive! I'll have to bookmark this.
I was a bit disappointed her kids got left a fairly big mess. Their dad just died last year, and that nothing got done to prepare after that was a surprise to me with as complex as their situation was, as neither of them were in the best health as it was.
I'd like to at least make sure the house is paid off so she doesn't need to worry about losing her home. I have my home's full value in retirement savings now, and the actual house is half paid off, so I don't think I need a huge supplement. She has a good job now as well with a pretty guaranteed future (medical field). Maybe a term policy to cover us until the house pay off date would be a good place to start looking.
I'm worried about the across the board deregulation we're being promised. This article just came out yesterday you may want to look at about the VA being a detriment to the coming agenda.
That was one of the reasons I asked the mod if we could undo locking the thread. I felt there were a lot of us confused by how things work and I don't want me and my fiance or anyone else here to get tricked at a time of real hardship.
The amount of "payout" is maybe going to cover half the funeral luncheon. The funeral itself is almost 4x that, and her and her sisters get to pay for it all.
I get their rule to an extent, but if it isn't a universal rule, it's something you all should be aware of.
I turn the hanger backwards and put them to one side of the closet rack.
