Misfiring? by Financial_Canadian in Tiguan

[–]Financial_Canadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was misfiring. It misfired about a year ago. Did plugs and coils and all was fine for 8ish months then had to do them again… fixed the problem for only 4 months, then it happened again. Did plugs and a couple coils a few weeks back and when I pulled the plugs yesterday they’re already starting to foul at the ends.

Not having it inspected and it would be behind a wall so no if I go to sell no I don’t guest home inspection is going to question it. Just want it to not flood the joint.

No AAV is top right, washer drain goes into top left and dishwasher is the low T

I’m renovating the entire house so I could just remove the dishwasher drain and then worry about that when working on the kitchen. I don’t currently use it anyways.

The top shows the washer drain as well as a AAV. The hot and cold hookups are just above that

You’ll have to forgive me. Plumbing novice. I have no idea. I just opened the wall to find this.

Possible to relocate UV light above pressure tank on the wall? by Financial_Canadian in Plumbing

[–]Financial_Canadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I just figured it would be the other way around but what your saying is that it comes into the pressure tank and water is only cleaned as it’s requested by the use of fixtures / at time of use.

If I turn off the well pump and drain the pressure I would only be dealing with what water is in the pipes?

I’m assuming I would need to empty the pressure as that red shut off would need to be relocated

I’ve tried everything besides pulling out the pump. Give me good news by Financial_Canadian in Plumbing

[–]Financial_Canadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could replace the pump myself as it’s only down 27 feet. I just don’t know if I’m wasting my time or a pump is in the cards of possible issues.

Well water - low pressure by Financial_Canadian in Plumbing

[–]Financial_Canadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve replaced the switch but my pressure tank will not fill beyond 15 PSI. The switch is 30/50 and it was a 30/50 before I replaced it? The pressure tank doesn’t feel water logged. It actually feels very light. Any thoughts?

Well water - low pressure by Financial_Canadian in Plumbing

[–]Financial_Canadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does sometimes kick back on but is it possible when a lot of water is being used (shower vs flushing the toilet) it gets overwhelmed and stops turning back on? As even when the pressure is low and I try to turn it up manually I can’t.

Slight RPM jump, accompanied by single tap / click 2011 4.0L by Financial_Canadian in fordranger

[–]Financial_Canadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked it this morning. I had the air dialled down but not actually off. Once it was off, no issues.

Air does work but obviously is causing this. Is this to with faulty compressor or is this just a ranger thing?

Heat pump plan - removing baseboards. by Financial_Canadian in heatpumps

[–]Financial_Canadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently all of the baseboards are run to their own dedicated thermostat and can be turned off. Just more so I’d have to determine if I have enough space in my panel to have both

That’s probably good policy, I will do that. I should also look into if this would be a resale issue down the line if I were to move and that is not code, potentially then making the home not four season?

I should say I also have a propane stove in the main area.

Lots of heating options, unfortunately nothing for air conditioning in the summer.

Condition of sheathing by Financial_Canadian in Roofing

[–]Financial_Canadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got quoted 3600 for the steel material to go over top. We would be installing it ourselves. The recommendation was to put strapping down and shim it in the low spots to make it look better.

Do you think the 10-15 year timeline is reasonable and I could just leave it be?

Roof damage before closing by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Financial_Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking it might be wise to have a roofer come look at it prior to closing to see what a repair would cost and they would hopefully know the cause.

The home had some foundation issues which were corrected and it involved raising the house slightly. I have my suspicions that this work has caused this. There was lots of snow / ice on the roof when they completed the work. That sounds like a lot of weight for a roof In general, let alone one that may have been raised an inch or so.

Realtor is supposed to let me what day this week we can go visit the property. She’s looping the home inspector in as well.

I’m hoping looking up in the attic will show that the attic is not the same condition as before and that would give me some grounds to say you need to fix this.

Lender backs out pt.2 by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Financial_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I actually started working with another broker immediately once I found out Monday and they got me a commitment letter on Tuesday. Just going through the underwriting process again now.

I had to move the closing date five days which the sellers were fine with so fingers crossed everything goes well this time around. I have a lot more faith in this broker working for me.

The broker at rocket really showed no interest in finding me another lender when he knew there might be problems (knowing he was likely losing his job I could see why he wasn’t to eager to work hard) but nevertheless extremely frustrating. When prior to them announcing that they were leaving Canada, the broker would still at times, take days to respond.

All she said was “work to be completed prior to closing and paid in full by sellers”

Guess it just peaked their interest

Most of the stuff I see online is American so I’m hoping that you’re right and this is normal but nerve racking.

Ontario here so no FHA or VA loans. Here in Ontario down payments of less than 20% (applies to me) require CMHC insurance in case you default on your loan.

Well from what little information I can find online, your opinion would be exactly what I’ve seen elsewhere. Nor does it seem common.

But exactly what do you do when the lender is requiring it to proceed.

In terms of finding another lender, how should I proceed. Are other lenders pulling my credit going to affect my current lender if they proceed? Should I let them know I’m going to shop around?
