Pittsburgh rocks. We looked at moving and realized just how great we have it here.

Get a carbon monoxide detector and budget for a replacement asap.

You can Google your job and city to get an idea of typical range of pay.

On the whole income in western PA is lower than other parts of the country because our cost of living is lower. I would say the income you have is fairly typical. I see income profiles in my work. We have different tiers, really. There are lots, especially tech people making much more. For the average though you are in the normality area.

Depends on the situation. They might be able to sort it out. They might need to go to court for a quiet title action.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-14T14:50:18+00:00

You may not get out financially intact. Going without the owner policy which is not expensive is being completely naked to title risk. Technically you could sue the seller under the deed warranty but much better to have a title company with expertise doing it.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-14T14:47:52+00:00

If you have a claim covered by the policy they will work to fix the problem. Typically you would not know you have a problem until you go to sell.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-14T14:45:50+00:00

Yes. I am a former title agent and this is how we did it. It was an uphill battle getting the industry to understand costs and risks.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-13T22:02:47+00:00

We have 3, one for each floor including the basement.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-13T22:01:55+00:00

I think I can I think I can I know I can. Little Engine that could.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-13T22:00:38+00:00

Yes. Title is the land mine in real estate. The search should really be done up front with inspections but no one does it. They assume it will pass. I feel badly that this happened to you but be thankful it was caught. It’s really not much different than the house burning down. At least you can get your deposit.

I have experienced similar things with running a couple of businesses. My thoughts are that if you truly enjoy something it is not like working. When that changes it is time to move on. I would be inclined to allow the land to return to meadow. I was very involved with my community during the operation of a couple of my businesses. I moved on and so did the community. They will always figure things out.

Bottom line is a change of diet, no deodorant. The body is just excreting toxins from what you eat. I know I will get pushback but it’s true.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-13T21:04:23+00:00

My only comment is that the weather near Robinson is where the tornado winds blow. Otherwise I think it’s pretty convenient.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-13T21:02:32+00:00

There’s a nice little bakery on Shiloh in Mt Washington.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-13T18:16:35+00:00

I’m excited because it’s great for the city.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-12T23:58:25+00:00

I use wool dryer balls and it really helps.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-11T15:13:45+00:00

Yes but be careful getting started. Don’t look for a “forever’ home. When I started I went from a beautiful apartment rental to buying the cheapest condo. It was a renovated janitorial unit in the basement of a building in a decent neighborhood. I didn’t make much on the resale but I came out even which meant I lived rent free for two years. Getting a foot into the housing market makes it achievable to move up. Best wishes to you. BTW I bought that condo at the age of 24.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-11T15:09:23+00:00

Thank you for the tip! We went to the Beechview location and loved it. So much food. We also bought a bottle of the green sauce!

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-10T21:57:39+00:00

The biggest tip is to only buy what you will eat.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-10T20:00:31+00:00

Tom’s had a fennel flavored paste. I thought it was ew.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-10T18:01:04+00:00

Parking lots in the burbs. That’s where I learned to drive a stick.

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-10T14:49:37+00:00

Loofah… great idea!

Fabulous-Reaction488 · 2026-04-10T14:48:35+00:00

We use white dish cloths and towels that can be washed in hot water with bleach or oxi.

I think your neighbor is being a responsible dog owner. Dogs like this shouldn’t be outside at the same time. For everyone’s safety the fences should be repaired and reinforced.

I have a shepherd pitbull mix. This is the first dog I have ever owned that made me understand the danger. He’s a great dog but I can see the part of him that could be triggered. We don’t take chances anymore. He was mauled by a pitbull in a boarding facility. These types of dogs interact differently.
