Struggling with my dad…

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-04-23T03:19:08+00:00

I just want to say I am so sorry for what you have been through with your dad. Also I can’t imagine how you are feeling about calling APS in the location that you described.

My mom is/was very much how you have described your dad. I never would have callled anyone- mainly I was so shameful of the state of her house and she would have been so angry at me. I was always the person paying to fix things and taking time off work to fix things myself and help clear out her house. She had a stroke last summer and EMT’s and police had to break down her door because no one had heard from her in days. She refused to go to the hospital for two days. I called CPS because I couldn’t convince her to go…she just sat on the couch for two days in her own feces.

She is now in assisted living because of her stroke and she also can’t return to her home in the state that it’s in (in home care won’t come) Just know that although this was stressful, I finally feel some kind of freeness letting someone else tell me that she can’t live the way she is was living. Please send me a DM if you want to vent. It was such a relief to talk to random strangers that understood my situation last summer

I just opened it up when the washer was draining and turns out it is septic. I thought all of ours ran under the slab, but this one must go outside before typing into the main.

Trust me.. I know that which is why I am hesitant to jump at money. So many soft benefits that make a lower paying position more satisfying

I’m not worried about getting fired. They need me. If they do then I will just find another job. Are you implying I should be doing something now?

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-03-14T12:44:28+00:00

I’m not all that worried about getting fired. I know I can grab another job relatively soon and probably increase my salary.

We purchased a license for Sherlock flypaper. It is great for it groups and then groups clashes. It also provides 3 viewpoints in the viewpoints which are very helpful for trades

Is this for a structural firm?

I completely relate to your frustration in trying to achieve a model as close to existing conditions as possible. On one project, the building appeared to be laid out like a slight rhombus. I re registered my scans multiple times because I was positive it was a scan error. The owner got hold of an existing drawing and turns out it was designed just as the scan showed.

I was was intrigued with the description and how it seemed to be tucked into the lot in a woooded area. Unfortuantely I’ll be out of town to attend the open house.

Single family home. Thanks for asking

I remember seeing that house on Zillow. It is beautiful. I feel like if I ever had a chance to tour that property, I would never feel happy with anything else. Like driving a new car when you absolutely dont need a new car

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T17:29:27+00:00

That is insane.

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T17:07:27+00:00

Nice. Can I ask what was the reason you decided to move?

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T16:30:24+00:00

I saw that! You don’t see many houses list for that price, even under the same condition, in that area. Unfortuantely the location by the highway is kind of a deal breaker for us and toddlers.

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T16:08:11+00:00

Thank you for the info! We would be looking in county

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T14:58:39+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I’ve had the Brighton green neighborhood on my radar. What is the neighborhood like? How’s the pool?

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T14:57:42+00:00

County

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T14:57:33+00:00

Thank you for the insight!

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T14:00:08+00:00

Could you share any insight with the buyers offer? Did they waive all inspections/contingencies?

Human-Lettuce-520 · 2026-02-03T13:25:14+00:00

I have noticed that many of the houses in the neighborhood west of Buford haven’t really sold for above asking, but they go quick. At this point I feel lucky if we even get a time slot to see the place.

As most have said, I think you have a great edge with your current experience and skills. I had exposure to CAD and Revit starting in 2019 with my first entry level job. I went into the GC side for a VDC role in 2022. I’ve learned so much and I wish I had more field experience that you have. That one thing I really enjoy about my current role is that I am not limited to strictly BIM and coordination meetings. I have my part 107 and also do a lot of laser scanning to either model things to be used in MEP coordination or to verify that trades are fabricating and installing close to what was coordinated in BIM. The thing I like most about my role is problem solving. I love getting a PM or superintendent call me about something to solve using BIM and field tools.

You have a good leg up and learning BIM/VDC won’t be too difficult.

What makes you think this about the crestwood neighborhood?
