1/8     Has anyone else found that over the years, the doors in their house
        don't open or close easily anymore? It seems like maybe the house has
        gotten slightly warped, maybe because the ground it's on has shifted
        slightly, or something. What do you do about something like that?
        \_ new houses settle over time, makign doors not fit their jams as well
           and such.  It just happens.  In my case, we adjusted the doors that
           were having problems.
        \_ you might want to have your house checked out, especially if it's
           an older house for foundation or other structural problems. if your
           house is "sagging" and if it will get worse over time, you might
           want to have the problem fixed.

        \_ Wood expands and contracts with moisture, too. I plane down the
           high spots on the doors and make sure the hinges are screwed in
           tightly.

8/1     Suppose your house is already paid off and you retire at 65.
        How much expense does one expect to spend a year, in the Bay
        Area? Property tax will be about $10K/year for a modest $850K
        home. What about other stuff?
        \_ I think at age 65, health insurance is the next biggest expense.
        \_ I am thinking that we can have a nice middle class

7[31    Suppose you have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning
        minimum interest rate and you're not sure whether you're going to
        buy a house in 1-5 years. Should one put that money in a more
        risky place like Vanguard ETFs and index funds, given that the
        horizon is only 1-5 years?
        \_ I have a very similar problem, in that I have a bunch of cash

2/19    I just realized that my real estate broker has a PhD in plant
        molecular cell biology from an Ivy League school in the mid 70s.
        Now she has to deal with a bunch of young dot-comers, and they're
        pain in the ass.                        -Only a BS in EEC$
        \_ My agent used to be a hardware engineer.  He switched to real estate
           when he got laid off during the 80's.  Now he's doing very well.
