  1. Help me out here, What, because I still don’t understand this argument — if the homeowners are able to pay back their loans, wouldn’t the investors be better off as well? Isn’t some better than none? A homeowner paying less, but still paying, seems better than a default where the investor will get nothing…

    These guys seem to be analogizing it to bankruptcy: e.g., people pay higher interest rates on credit cards because of the risk of the cc company getting nothing as an unsecured creditor if the debtor declares bankruptcy…But this is different, the investors aren’t getting wiped out — the interference from the government isn’t bringing a negative result — it’s getting the investor something instead of nothing…

  2. Ok, I just got further details from the wife since this is really her project. Sorry for the fuzzy details before. I should have gotten it straight before I asked. Here is the scoop”:

    New refrigerator is high end and not as deep (just wide) and WILL fit through the passageway.

    Old refrigerator is deeper and will NOT fit through the passageway, even with door casings off. So it seems our options are:

    1) old fridge is sawed apart (not liking that option)
    2) old fridge goes out through kitchen window
    3) old fridge goes out via kitchen pass through.

  3. “you may be better off making the opening bigger.” (where is BRG for that line?)
    Chicken, I don’t think the opening can be easily expanded as the countertops run right to the edge of the door. I don’t really want to lose the countertop space over this as I’m hoping we can find another solution.

    “Unless you have a window and you get a piano mover to hoist it up (which of course depends on a window in t he kitchen that’s accessible. And the window is big enough.”
    Bxgrl, there is a very big window in the kitchen and I think that might be our best option, i.e., to hoist it through there.
