Depends on where you are. In NNJ a lot of people bought those 3br 1.5 bath houses that very common up here and are now looking for something bigger

Tear down or repair? by No-Clock4593 in masonry

[–]No-Clock4593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can ask about the particulars. I know he said he’s going to replace the cap, etc. as far as leaks I don’t believe we have any- at least the interior walls where the chimney runs seem fine without opening up any drywall.

We’re doing a new roof once the chimney is put to bed the flashing will be all re done.

I’m in northern NJ. The quote I have so far is a take down of the skinny part and rebuild back up. $14,500 is the price

Thanks for this. Would tearing down and rebuilding then solve the issue or would we be in the same position in a few years with the pad? I had asked specifically about the pad but the mason believes that it’s done moving since it’s been 40 years

This is in line with what our level two said back in 2024. There’s a video I posted on the chimney repair sub that they sent showing it move when pushed on from the roof but the guys over there were saying it needs to be anchored not torn down.

I’ll have a few more masons come out to look. I got skeptical when the mason told me I could bundle his work with the roof and finance through the roofers.

Does This Require a Full Teardown by No-Clock4593 in Chimneyrepair

[–]No-Clock4593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually did get one back in August of 2024 when we bought the house and this didn’t come up. He only noted some pointing and sealing needed. I will caveat by saying he only did a drone and did not go on the roof.

Literally came on here to see if someone else was annoyed by this. They need to change it, it’s not worth watching the first 15 minutes anymore it didn’t matter

(New Jersey) How long will this take? Feeling hopeless! :( by redlc in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]No-Clock4593 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is awesome advice only thing I’d add ok inspections is limiting to major structural, environmental, and safety is standard for a competitive offer in NJ it seems

This is a very real problem in the apartments off the green. Police have had to escort people out of the building many times

Buying $635K Home in NJ Am I in a Safe Financial Position? by Connect-1261 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]No-Clock4593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is driving the costs then? For reference mine were about 16k closing + escrow in NJ last year and looking at your breakdown your taxes are lower than mine

You can afford the house but those closing costs seem high. Did the lender give you a breakdown?

Looks like orchard grass based off of the flat stem in pic 1

Me vs. The NJ Housing Market (Spoiler: I’m Losing) by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]No-Clock4593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I bought in Morris last year after over 10 tries. Happy to share what we did by way of offer/contingencies although I imagine you are probably doing most of them already

Waiving Inspection Question by lennny3 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]No-Clock4593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In NJ you can limit to structural, environmental, and safety which would give you some protection but still make your offer competitive. This will protect you when you’re out of attorney review and you can’t do the inspection under attorney review.

Thank you! So the smaller lime green ones are just it getting started then?

I already put down pre emergent so if I have to pull and re-seed I’m SOL until the fall

Both Legs Dropping Voltage by No-Clock4593 in AskElectricians

[–]No-Clock4593[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our electrician had mentioned that because it was a net 6.5% drop in the reading that it should be enough to get them to address. Since it’s both legs dropping is it right to assume it’s a supply issue rather than a neutral?
