I might be able to help find the carpet if you need some. It will depend on the management firm of your apartment community.
Finally got seller to sign the purchase agreement on the new place, contingency is only in effect until Jan 1, which worried me a little, but my house went on the market less than four hours ago and I already have two showing requests for tomorrow. I also have a loan lined in up in case I don't get the house sold in time.
Biggest regret with our house is choosing tiny shower tiles and a white grout for the base. I don’t know the best way to clean this shit. Used a steamer on it today and it turned out nice but damn it took forever.
Both in Royal Oak. We just upgrading in size. Our current bungalow with no basement is getting tight especially since my wife new job she works from home and needs a home office set up. We were debating upgrading kitchen too but decided we didn't want to pour money into a house we probably would move out of anyway once we had kids. Despite not having a basement I think our current house might go quickly because it has a 2.5 car garage and a walk in closet and bathroom in the upstairs bungalow part, most royal oak bungalows only 1 bathroom
I’m in RO as well. I don’t think you’ll have a problem selling quickly given the garage and additional bathroom. That sets you apart from the other bungalows.
Taques IIRC has one and can speak to quality Gym I go to has one and I can confirm it dispenses water
So, sucked way more than I thought. Foundation needed 40k in reinforcement to support the second story. Scraped that plan. Had a kid. Rented old house. Bought new house. Ripped new house down to studs. About to move into said house. Been a really tough 5 months, but the new house is tits.
The window of time when we were working on the our new old house while living across the county was the most stressful period of my life, bar none. (We has no kids, though I hear that's even more fun) Once we got one room livable, we moved in and kept working for another month and a half to two months. Eating microwave dinners in our master bedroom. I have to say, it's pretty rewarding now, but I don't know that I would do it again, and frankly, hope not to have to. I spent the weekend painting and roughing in a couple new light fixtures. (We've been in the house for 2+ years)
There will be a seem as well where it's been cut out and replaced. Might be easier to simply pay for the whole room to be re-carpeted to the threshold.
I moved my fiance into our house the day before they gutted the kitchen and hung a tarp to the addition which was still in studs. I had the fridge and microwave in the living room and we lived like this for about 2 months. She cried when I told her I built her a kitchenette. She earned her engagement ring, but I'll never again move her into construction.
Not quite the same but earlier this year we were selling our PR(Arizona)and selling a rental house(Michigan) while purchasing a house(North Carolina). We were both getting licensed at the same time in NC and planning a wedding. I was also transitioning from one job to another. I also gutted the master bathroom and was in a race against time to listing the PR house. It was super stressful.
Dodged a huge bullet, had inspection done on the home we had an offer on and the guy who remodeled it apparently was a giant idiot who did not know what he was doing. There are too many issues to name, but some of the highlights are : 1. There are actually 3 AC units all from different years next to house that are jury-rigged together with exposed wiring from it attached to the wood fence causing fire risks. 2. The brand new furnace was placed in the attic with no insulation, and the furnace they bought would not fit anywhere else in house. Would need to spray insulate entire attic. 3. The vents in the bathroom just led to the attic and ended there, they did not go outside. 4. The pipes in the bathroom were not attached to the walls and the shower head shaked if you touched it, would need to tear up drywall to fix that. 5. Basement likely flooded and they just painted over water damage. Would need to tear up drywall to make sure water damage is not sewage. 6. In the Florida room in back, they put a hot tub under an exposed heating unit, so either hot tub or heating would have to go. 7. Bathroom in basement was built basically connecting to the electric box, making it unusable until you relocated the electrical box. 8. Main floor bathroom shower head came through drywall and was leaking, making mold in drywall very likely. 9. There was a slight dip in the floor in the main family area. 10. And I knew about this one, no vent above oven and oven is directly next to the fridge and inspector said that oven and fridge shouldn't be directly next to each other, it lowers both their life spans. Inspector said he would not even move into that house until an electrician and plumber went through it. Needless to say we are backing out of the sale.
$325,000 And our offer was contingent on our home selling too so he left his house on market trying to get another offer lined up in case we couldn't go through, and he actually a few days ago raised the price to $369,900 which is apparently what he's asking for now.
Just tested out the used ATV and plow on a 4” snow. First time using it with a plow that took some getting used to. Definitly more fun than a snow thrower. New construction driveway is just stone until next year. I can’t wait until it melts to see how much digging I was doing.
Where do you live? Neighbor plows our driveway with a ATV he just bought as well and it handled the 4 inches this morning like a porn star.
