The problem with home inspectors or any other “experts” that will come and look at the roof, hvac, etc know that if their opinion prior to close causes the deal to fall through both realtors will probably not use them again. At least in Alabama. That being said I would strongly recommend to anyone don’t use your realtors recommendations on who to use for inspections. Sincerely, Mr. Had to replace my entire roof less than a year after moving into my house
All in all went great. Had a plumber on site doing something unrelated when inspector found a leak, plumber fixed on the spot. Some minor electrical stuff that got fixed same day. Thought it was weird they wanted "up to $500 in repairs" but the plumber and electrician totaled like $550 so all worked out. Their realtor still asking for another repair, telling them to kick rocks.
We're currently in the midst of a full house renovation -- down to the studs with all new electrical and plumbing. I can't believe I didn't die in a fire before this.
Late to this, but as old (1910's) Bham house owner...it's really fine. Big thing is to see if updates/etc. have been done competently. We baled out of our former (1920s) house because they put in shitty windows in the 60's (aluminum frame, awful) and there were 28 of them, also electrical setup was a mess and needed $5-10k of work. New house is better layout, work done well. Yes, things go wrong; yes, materials are far better than anything post 1970s, and you don't have to deal with builder-grade shit. We're having a crime spree now (lol) but otherwise we love it after 11 years in CWN.
ButchCassidy whatever happened with this? We have a Square D 200a box with half the circuits available. Old MAGA electrician told me this is ideal, but I know nothing.
Haven’t called the electrician back out, yet. Working on getting approval for the kitchen remod, then will ask him to come back out.
I need to shut off my sprinkler system because I have a leaky valve. My main irrigation box has two valves. Does it matter which one I close? Or should I close both?
Our neighbors are fucking assholes, during summer they bump 90s rap loud af all day long my wife wants to garden and lay out by pool and it bothers her problem is I love 90s rap, fucking wu tang, busta rhymes, 2pac, biggie, etc, yes please
Based on given details it’s neighbors 1 Bae 0. Buy her the Tupac and biggie garden gnomies to try to build a bridge.
they named their bar after a Jason Mraz song? Guess there's worse songs from 2002 they could've went with. .
That checks out. You can like good music and be too much of an asshole not to listen to it at a reasonable level.
They will have pool parties late on school nights and my kids have to blast noise machines to go to sleep. I can't imagine how bad it is for neighbors on other side of them bc their house is super close. We live on a small lake and they will let their guests on our property and they leave trash & fishing line. Neighbors are allowed to fish but they literally come on our property and fish in the same tiny cove they can access from their property. We have geese at the lake. It sucks bc they get goose shit everywhere, but everyone just lives with them. We enjoy watching them. And they knew this when they moved in (their parents were previous owners). Dude hates the geese and will shoot bottle rockets and air rifles at them to get off his property at like 6:30 am. They get drunk and fuck with the geese when they are on their nests, think it's hilarious. They let their dog loose and not us but has fucked up other neighbors trash. Just said sorry but didn't pick it up. My daughter's friend was close to the previous owners, they gave her and her sister their pedal boat years ago. After they moved in they just took it back. They also use that neighbors dock and have never asked permission. This is just stuff I can think of rn, they fucking suck But they do like good music!
outside of city limits so they can shoot guns/play music all they want wonder if I could get game & fish to murder him for messing with migratory birds?
Anyone ever had a "totally impacted main (sewer) line"? Apparently that might be what we are looking at. I was ready to have a good-sized chunk cut out, but man, didn't expect that. They jetted it (3000psi or something), nothing; used the power snake, nothing; jetted it again, nothing. Got a bigger boy coming in tomorrow morning, but I've known this guy for years, so when he says, "My $20k equipment can break up 95% of jobs, but not this one." I'm worried...
More likely that it's a giant ball of TP. We're actually really careful about what we flush. Like, they could get through it all the way to the street with the auger and jet, but couldn't move the giant BALL OF CRUD.
I was ready for a fairly invasive solution, but this is gonna suuuuuuuck. I think my homeowners' service line endorsement is for like $10k, but that probably ain't gonna cover digging up the whole fucking line.
Like, it's soft enough, they can get through it, but mushy enough they can't clear it. I don't get it, but this guy isn't full of shit (sorry).
