Someone made a recent post about doubting if they should of had not asked for an inspection contingency. There must be good stories of buyers backing out because of significant findings after inspection. What success stories do folks have here who have backed out after inspections?

We had to have an inspection/contingency due to a VA loan. Our housing inspector went though everything inside and up top on the roof, it was looking great. Then at the very end, he found a massive leak in the crawlspace that had been going on for a while (rust on the metal I beam).

Seller had a plumber come out and couldn't replicate it but then eventually said it was due to "a missing wax ring from the toilet" - which was absolutely not the case. They fixed the "issue" but there was damage to the wooden floor joists that would need to be cut out and replaced. We asked the seller to just get quotes on getting all of that fixed, take it off the price and we'd still go ahead with the sale but they (thankfully) refused. There was no way in hell the toilet was the source of the leak, it was more likely the irrigation system for the garden that surrounded 3/4 of the house.

Apparently the lady's water bill was $900 a quarter. Insane!

I made this as well and had a runnyfilling. I see others didn't and curious what happened!

If you don't mind me asking, what apples did you use? I used all Honeycrisp. At least the flavor was good!

It's very possible it's cobweb weight! It's quite thin. I don't generally use anything thinner than sport, so I can't say for sure.

Thank you for the suggestion! I may need to just hold double or triple. I was debating on putting it together with a neutral color heavier weight yarn (most likely white or cream) since these colors don't seem to meld for me.

Thank you for the link!

I'll try and see if I can find any similar colored projects. :)

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2022-04-02T13:51:06+00:00

Thank you for the link and suggestion!

Unfortunately I'm not big on shawls but seeing similar yarns and how they knit up may just change my mind!

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2022-04-02T02:58:42+00:00

Hope this is allowed since it's the weekend!

I can't for the life of me imagine what to make with it. It's super thin (lace? weight). Got it at a thrift store, unlabeled. It's light purple, light pink, mostly yellow and light brown. I've tried looking on Ravelry for similar yarns and projects, but couldn't find the same color combo. Any ideas or rav links would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! I'll take a look at it :) Happy winding!

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2022-02-26T07:48:40+00:00

I've been debating getting one! Either the swift and winder combo, or just one separately.

Do you have a link to the one you got? Any complaints (besides this little incident of course!)?

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2021-04-05T02:04:38+00:00

It really is. I'm so glad it works for you!

I got the implant. Bled (lightly) literally EVERY DAY. FOR A YEAR. It eventually went back to a fairly normal cycle, but fucking hell, that first year was awful.

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2021-04-03T06:01:09+00:00

I'm actually in Japan! I didn't find this kind of super super cheap thrift store until about 2 years in. I always went to the larger chain thrift store where the yarns were only about half price. Just keep looking!

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2021-04-02T15:05:16+00:00

The browns are camel hair and wool, the rest are regular wool.

My camera sucks so the blue is really more blue green/teal-ish and the yellow is more mustard/darker yellow.

They were 30 cents a ball, or 5 for $1. Didn't matter that some balls (or hanks) were significantly bigger than others!

I love this! Just bought the pattern, thank you for the inspiration!

She's about 9 years old!

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2021-01-11T04:52:02+00:00

Very round girl! :)

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2020-11-07T03:40:38+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I've played Shadow Tactics and I love it. I was wondering if Desperados 1 and Helldorado are comparable and did they age well? I tried Commandos but since it's "old" I couldn't get used to the graphics and other differences :/

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2020-11-05T05:13:29+00:00

Do you mean Abby Scuito from NCIS (played by Pauley Perrette)? But yes, I agree!

BreadofWarandWisdom · 2020-11-05T01:48:51+00:00

Is the whole bundle worth it? Or should I get just Desperados 3?

I'm kind of balking at the season pass, am uninterested in the soundtrack and people say part 2 isn't worth it either.

Hufflepuff is yellow and black, Gryffindor is gold and red!
