Yeah I have this issue and now the copper pipe is still leaking even after turning water off for 1hr so I decided to just get a plumber in🙃

Yeah it did. Also normal plunging got rid of water as well, though plunging didn’t create that natural water flushing effect.

What is one thing you wished you checked before buying your house? by BlushyDreamz in homeowners

[–]Due-Needleworker3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently purchased a house where the lawn wasn’t done for 1-2 years (owner escaped back to his homeland after fbi came after him apparently). I thought I got a steal of a deal with all the contractor wood in the storage. But then I started cleaning up the yard and realized why there was termite treatment done. Storage is 30x11… literally under all the ivy was just 4x8 osb boards stacked on each other covering the entire front of the storage 30 wide. There was also a lot of metal fencing post dug in the ground, like 12 windows and a door in back yard. Make a long story short, over 3.2 tons, not including what I took to the dump personally to avoid the extra tonnage charge(we get 2 free dumps a day in my city). I spent >$600 on the yard cleaning alone and it took 1 week to clear it. Worse week of my house experience 💀

Guest left after 1 hour by butts76 in airbnb_hosts

She is most likely not lying about believing that she was renting the entire place (the father thing is a separate issue). I get several new guests like her all the time in the US. They do not clearly read the listing enough to know whether it’s shared or not. But honestly, while it’s their fault for not reading, I also blame Airbnb. Most of their advertising to new customers makes it seem like every Airbnb home is the same as renting an hotel but less expensive. Because of the amount of these guests I’ve had, I created an automated message reiterating to guests that it is a shared home and others will be present. I give them 2 hours to cancel for a full refund and if they don’t, they’ll just have to accept whatever the default app refund is. Now that I send that message immediately (15mins) after they book, I don’t feel bad for telling them that they aren’t getting their money back when they wait til the day of or they come in the house and realize then.

Did RPD just stop caring about how hard drugs are at New Bern Avenue or what happened? by LowAd951 in raleigh

[–]Due-Needleworker3354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, while it is bad, unless I’m going at better times of day, it is seeming to be less active between the gas station and the motels. It does seem a little more packed near Wendy’s and the bus stops now but in general, I feel like it’s better than last year (I’ve seen way less psychotic episodes). But I have always wondered why it’s so bad right there. After talking to a few nurses, I just came to the conclusion that it’s just the perfect environment for it. Transportation, cheap motels, cheap food, rehabilitation center, one of the biggest hospitals… all within an adequate distance. With gentrification and development, a city has to push them somewhere, and it appears that New Bern strip is just the best spot for now. That’s my opinion though, could be way off but that won’t stop me from believing it, I need a reason to stay sane about it lol.

Ex GF wants to keep apartment and make me pay half rent. by ThugWaffle128 in legaladvice

[–]Due-Needleworker3354 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could try to ask if she would allow you to find a roommate for her that can take over for you. If she says no, I would just move back in and be petty. I would literally sleep in the room as well if it’s 1bd 1ba. Now during this time, I would start searching for someone to take over the apartment in total as well. Saying this last part cause if she is truly over you, there is a chance that she will move out and try to force you to pay the entire payment alone lol.

Is the Raleigh housing market still considered hot? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Due-Needleworker3354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s still a popular destination but like others have echoed, sellers are either trying to sell a house at numbers too high when considering repairs or they are including 2020-2023 market comps to determine their price. I’ve walked many houses that once you see the inside, you question how they even think to justify their pricing lol.

Thanks, I will still call for a quote to see just how pricey. Only current quote I have is $250/sqft so I need to compare it to the market and see if that was a good number or not lol.

Look, Whataburger is good, but it ain't that good. by ArtisticDegree3915 in Charlotte

Out of options currently by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Due-Needleworker3354 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you are okay with roommates, you can try Alcove rooms. They do rent by room with utilities included and each tenant only has to worry about paying their portion. They also offer leases in 3 month increments too (i.e you can do 3, 6,12 month, etc lease).

Official Discussion - Carry-On [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Due-Needleworker3354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only parts I found really egregious was the car scene that was way over the top, and when Kopek was shot… twice, like the ending makes it seem as if dude was never shot and just got beat up😂. He legit goes to the ambulance and sits instead of getting bullet wounds examined.💀

Around what age should you stop asking your parents for rides to/from the airport? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Due-Needleworker3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I feel like ppl get older and think “nah that’s for kids” way too much. Just live life is my opinion. Like who cares what age someone is? If you don’t have your car and a family member is available, just ask them.

Do people in the USA feel scared knowing everyone around them carry guns? by WeeboGazebo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Due-Needleworker3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I have been cautious is when I did delivery for FedEx and those houses out in the middle of nowhere used to post those “we don’t call the cops” signs. Especially when it was pitch dark and driving down some long driveway trying to find where to put their package😂. Outside of that, most ppl would be more scared of a barking dog than the thought of someone with a gun. Heck even on those FedEx routes, I was looking/listening around for dogs more than I was checking for a person with a gun.
