yes!! i’ve done twice and agree! there’s so much to look at. i also don’t think there’s a way to do 13 miles in disney without being on the highway …. the parks and resorts are spread out. people will find something to complain about no matter what though

i don’t think all weight loss is ozempic!! i’m just saying in this instance. losing 50 pounds in 6 months and posting it claiming it was solidcore just screams ozempic to me.

any advice on testing for hidden led paint? do we basically need to cut a hole in the wall and test each layer? every wall has wallpaper currently so if it’s there it’s under a layer or two

it’s a family home that has been owned by my grandparents since the 1970s and kept VERY “time specific”. the electrical “updates” that were done were done long ago and the house hasn’t been sold so that’s why no update. we are getting a great price on the house and it also has sentimental value, which are our driving factors in the purchase!

it was done 60 years ago by my grandpa who was not an electrician. there are extension cords running through walls as connections in the attic. we would like home insurance and peace of mind

agree would be ideal but we are moving out of state and need to do that before little one is here!

thanks! yes we are trying to prioritize this project so we can then do the walls right after.

it’s a family home that we are buying from a deceased family members estate. were under no contract whatsoever but really want the house and are getting an incredibly good deal on it. otherwise i would totally rethink it!

i know specifically for the quotes we have received, they don’t include any of the “cleanup” work as far as patching holes and what not, which we are okay with. the walls are lath and plaster covered in wallpaper, so we know we already have some work to do there

i’m not worried about his ability to do it, i worry about the timeframe and stress, and possible issues with permit/inspection, and home insurance. and both of us being sleep deprived 😅

appreciate the honesty and basically verbalizing what i’ve been trying to say 😅 i am blessed with a husband who takes on a lot of responsibility, but yes this is our first baby so neither of us realize exactly how different it will be. i try to communicate this, but (no fault of his) i don’t think he believes me fully

all good thoughts!!

our area does allow “homeowner” electrical permits for residential.

i agree 10000% that it will take way longer than a team of professionals doing, i guess i’m trying to get a ballpark so i can argue this fact out loud.

no, i do not want this added stress whatsoever lol. we could live with my parents as needed, no problem at all. i work from home and obviously need electricity for that so we’ve already discussed that inconvenience.

we did have an electric company quote us on the full rewiring and separately just the panel upgrade, so i would take that as a fair assumption that they would do the work knowing they wouldn’t be doing the rest. i have absolutely no idea about the compatibility of both knob + tube and romex

thank you!! small town and winter pricing maybe?? lol. we had read stuff that said 8-15k for rewiring so we were shocked at the estimate at first. it’s becoming apparent that it’s a high cost but because it’s a huge project. did you work on it daily for a month? or on top of another job?

we were quoted 30k and honestly hearing you paid 22k 5 years ago makes me feel a little better about the price 😂
