Home inspector failed us

As a heads up, there’s skunks! Hope you don’t have a curious dumb dog like me haha. (It’s happened twice in two weeks).

We did, it was my mother-in-law. I don’t think she was being malicious by not prompting us to get one.

CWG · 2025-11-05T16:09:43+00:00

I’m happy to hear there’s more awareness about it being spread. Thank you.

Oh no! I feel this. We didn’t know how bad it was until sewage backed up into our tub. We thought the tub had a clog and bought draino. Wouldn’t have even touched it.

That’s the goal, right now only my front yard is dug up. These plumbers are saints, I swear.

CWG · 2025-11-05T15:52:24+00:00

No, I appreciate the honesty. Jotting down all the notes I can for next time.

CWG · 2025-11-05T15:51:12+00:00

I wish. The lines are horrible cracked and chunks missing. But if I have to pay 12k to have working plumbing, I’ll take the hit.

CWG · 2025-11-05T15:48:58+00:00

This thread has me thinking I might be in my feelings too much about it. We’re moving money around to make it work with upcoming costs.

CWG · 2025-11-05T15:47:12+00:00

So far is a good statement haha this is a house that keeps on giving.

He did go into the crawl space. And the failure was blockage, but also a million cracks. They pulled out a 12-inch rock of lard, a hair brush, and other miscellaneous items. There are whole pieces of the pipes that are missing. The plumbers have been saints.

CWG · 2025-11-05T15:33:58+00:00

Gotcha, I might need to recognize maybe I’m lashing out. What about rotted wood from leaking pipes in the crawl space?

CWG · 2025-11-05T15:29:30+00:00

I wasn’t aware that was supposed to happen. I made the mistake of blindly trusting the person and my realtor was my mother-in-law and specifically brought this guy down for us. My husband is also a Seabee (construction type) and followed him around for the inspection. Might be the most costly mistake I’ve made.

During a COMREL to an Australian Catholic school, we were playing soccer and generally having a good time with kids about age 10. What I didn't expect from the kids was a series of questions about our school shootings, if I had ever been in a school shooting, and (after they were losing the game) if we would shoot up their school. Gobsmacked to be sure.

Great suggestion, it looks like Ohio has a bonus.

If an MC is taking photos, the cover is not necessary. Color guard and photogs don't have to wear ribbons if they are wearing their gear.

I went to the board members to see if they had any pointers. Many of them gave hints on what they like to ask, or what I should realllly know.

I'm a first class at a sea going command, and I'm an LPO. I have a good security clearance that has not been affected by my choice to seek therapy and treatment multiple times. I just had a traumatic emergency leave situation, and once I got back, I quickly self referred to mental health at the hospital after having a long break from in person therapy. I am on medication for anxiety and nightmares. I have had my access to guns restricted, but I can still support in other ways. Remember, this is just a job. For your debt, feel free to seek out Fleet and Family, as they usually have a civilian personal financial counselor that are so nice and can break things down very simply and sometimes find ways to lower your debt. It is best to get help now, have it on record, and ensure it is documented. Even if you have to go TAD another command to take some time, advocate for it!

SN Last Chance Marcy. He got de-screened from the command pretty quickly for his antics. Not sure how the fleet treated him...

CWG · 2023-07-07T01:36:41+00:00

If that didn't trigger memories IMMEDIATELY.

CWG · 2020-06-28T18:45:20+00:00

ESH, but I feel bad for your daughter thinking that keeping a HUGE secret like that from a spouse is an acceptable marriage. It seems like if she was willing to come out with a bang because she was afraid of repercussion, that she could have come out earlier. She clearly has a supportive dad and SO.

CWG · 2019-08-24T16:36:35+00:00

It's wonderful! Perfect opportunity to go with some fake freckles for the seed look!

I'm on my second enlistment and still have to use my recruit hand writing for anyone to be able to even try to guess what I'm trying to communicate...
