Really? It's obvious to a blind man it wasn't a typo nor something stupid. I'm safely assuming that the poster got that mixed up while looking into his kiddie CO detector.May just have been a typo. |

well yes I do have a kidde. I do know the difference between CO2 and CO . Both will kill. CO is more insidious . I still don't like CO2 fire extinguishers. [/quote] Old James |

Sorry James. Didn't mean any offence, just felt your comment a tad OTT. In all the time I've posted to these boards, I haven't known Mr Mercer to make a stupid comment. |

CO2 extinguishers are effective at "knocking down" fires, but do not cool the "fuel". This is OK when used on liquids, but not very good when trying to extinguish solids such as we typically have in house fires. The reason it is used in computer rooms is that it doesn't cause secondary damage, unlike water, foam, or power - if you've ever seen the mess from a powder extinguisher you'd understand.

And I think it would be better for Me to find a place elsewhere when the time comes and I can take advantage of SB-3 or SB-2. Define a first time buyer, in the US. It's one who owns property, property is land, I own a home, mobile or manufactured makes almost no difference. I am not a property owner, yet a manufactured home that is owned w/a title without land is regarded as personal property if the land is rented, so I do not own any real property. So that would make Me a 1st time buyer. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

I have no doubt that some would say you wold be a "first time buyer", and some would say not. But you OWN your home, thus you are a "home owner", so you are in a slightly vague area of US home/land law - it would appear, from the link you have provided you MAY be a property owner, or may not be a property owner. To resolve this you need to take proper legal advice on YOUR situation, not rely on some generalities from the web. Your link goes to a Bling search page, and the first couple of links state (and I paraphrase) "Property is something you own", or more specifically in the case of the Miriam-Webster (online) dictionary (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/property): Definition of property or the Free online dictionary (https://www.thefreedictionary.com/property) property Neither demonstrates the linkage that you lay out between "ownership of the land" and "ownership of something on that land" that you claim. Indeed the second definition implies that you, as one who pays "property tax" (to the State, or local authority) you are a property owner, even though you are not a land owner.

Well, all that really matters is how the state of California rules on the subject when they are processing an application for the program. Meow. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Look I own personal property, not real property, that is defined, so I would be a 1st time buyer under the law, go ahead dispute it, English Common Law says otherwise. Real property Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

English "common law" has no bearing on the ownership or legal status of any land or buildings. What i critical in UK civil and property law is how the title for the land, or building (including any temporary or mobile structure) is framed. And has nothing to do with how the State of California will decide who is, or isn't property owner in connection with SB2 or SB3, or any other State law regarding ownership, or tenure of either land or building fixed, mobile or temporary. You will need to get PROPER legal advice when the possible legislation comes into force after November next year.

Ok you wanted something from California, therefore I present this: 4. Why are the land and mobile home billed separately?​ This comes from the Sacramento County Tax Assessors Office here in California. http://www.assessor.saccounty.net/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/Pages/Mobile-Home-FAQs.aspx#separately High lighting is by Me. I'm waiting for call back from CalHFA, on whether someone who owns a manufactured home w/o owning any land is a 1st time home buyer or not. The first Question seems vague to Me: Have you owned and occupied a home in the last 3 years? Yes or No... It doesn't say what type of home, stick built homes come with land by default, manufactured homes are usually separate, since owning land is optional for a manufactured home. http://www.calhfa.ca.gov/apps/AmIEligible/ Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Ok since I did get an increase in a card today, I used some on ShopJimmy to repair My TV's psu board, $94.95, I was going to spend this in November, but the process is underway at least, World Series Baseball, Dodgers vs L'Astros will just have to wait, for another year. I'll get the email on Tuesday sometime to allow Me to have FedEx pickup the package. And I got the Belkin Surge Protector in today, no screw, ok, I got out another 2" screw, still nothing on the 2 cat6 ethernet cables(1Blue, 1Orange), but they're coming from China, China Air Post ordered on Oct2nd, and China is almost always slooooooooooow... Edit: Turns out the bad outlet that was for the A/C, already has a Belkin Surge Suppressor, which was hidden behind some boxes, no problem, I have another open location that I know for sure could use one, since it's the only outlet on that wall. One of these days I am going to rearrange My front room a bit, especially once I get a love seat/sleeper to replace My broken sofa/recliner... Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Turns out the bad outlet that was for the A/C, already has a Belkin Surge Suppressor, which was hidden behind some boxes,So you spent money on a new surge suppressor without checking first that you needed one? Well I do have a bedroom that is short on outlets, so the Belkin that I can't use in the front room won't go to waste. All that did was accelerate what I planned to do, nothing more. The sofa will wait, I am losing some weight, so it'll last another 2 years, though maybe I can get to that a bit sooner, I'll see when I get there. Well I've never been a Calhome customer, so that is perfect, thanks Chris. One cat 6 cable is for My TV, the other is for an Xbox One S or X, I'm up to 6,500 points, I hope to be at 10,000 by Nov 6th, by December I don't know, same for January, the Promo ends on Jan 12th 2018. Good explanation, I couldn't have said it better Chris S. Oh and I'm paying down that credit line(18 months) and the large card(8 months) at the same time, so those two will be done as soon as possible, I'm logging off ebay in March, possibly for 1.5 years, unless I need some powdered eggs, otherwise I won't be doing anything for maybe 1.5 years there or anywhere else, it's not as long as I thought. Edit: The Cat 6 cables cost $3.04 total, delivered... Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

The first Question seems vague to Me: Have you owned and occupied a home in the last 3 years? Yes or No... You think that is not a clear question. It is VERY clear. But since you are having difficulty in understanding such a simple question then I will expand it somewhat: If you have owned a home, irrespective of it being a "manufactured", "stick built", or "cave", or the ownership of the land upon which it sits, for more than 3 years then you have to answer YES, otherwise the answer is "NO". In your case you are always proclaiming that you own your home and have done so for more than 3 years, thus, in relation to this form you are a "home owner of more than 3 years standing".

Well I've asked in the past, and they know the question is vague, and why it has not been made more specific, but then Calhome deals in Real Estate, not homes without land.

I would suggest that CA deals with homes, as well as real estate given the number of sites like your that abound in the state, further there are quite a number of "stick built" places that are on land not owned by the building owner. I would suggest that it is YOU that is trying to make it more complex than it really is. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Those places are called Apartments rob, "stick built" refers to homes on their own land, not to apartments for rent... Savoir-Faire is everywhere!
