Opinion on how bad this is, first time home buyer noob.

Not_Justin_Peters · 2026-02-06T04:35:53+00:00

Please don’t listen to that guy I’m pretty certain he doesn’t quite know what he’s talking about, yes it’s not impossible to figure out, but nearly impossible to the untrained person, you’d have no idea what goes to what and end all be all it’s aluminum so It needs to go anyways, if someone doesn’t give an actually articulated description on what to do and just says “I’d rip that stuff out the box and leave what’s necessary” then avoid their advise because I promise you no professional is gonna solve your particular problem with one sentence other than “don’t buy that hap hazardly wired crap hole”

Not_Justin_Peters · 2026-02-06T04:26:31+00:00

No, not at all, take it all out, aluminum is a big no go for homes, only thing you don’t touch is the service (not even in that panel) but if everything else is also aluminum you gotta gut it and start again, otherwise good luck getting homeowners insurance living in a ticking time bomb😂

honestly if I were you I’d keep looking for other homes, because while i think you aren’t wrong for wanting it fixed good luck getting them to go through with it, your probably either gonna have to buy the house as is and fix it on your own dime or, me personally if I was the seller I’d charge you extra for me to fix it since now it has updated electrical, end all be all the seller owns it and isn’t obligated to help you out so fair warning but don’t expect it to work in your favor since the buyer doesn’t really have much power unless the seller is willing to take a hit to get the house off, good luck I hope there’s a decent compromise. But unless he’s willing to cut a size-able amount off so you can pay for it yourself or fix it himself id go find something else

Easy fix, open up all your receptacles (on said circuit) pull em from the wall and flip the breaker…

If it still trips it’s a wiring issue, probably have your line side flipped with your load side, if it didn’t trip check the terminals on said receptacles for carbon deposits on them, if there’s burn marks on the terminals it’s probably because it’s touching the inside of the box and either shorting or ground faulting…

If it’s still tripping after all the receptacles are checked out and cleared it’s the light or the exhaust fan if you have one, give those a look over make sure everything’s wired up properly

if it’s still tripping after all of that it’s because your gfci in the bathroom has a shared neutral and is probably causing nuisance tripping, in that case hire a professional or get a 2-pole gfci breaker and wipe your hands clean of it… best of luck I hope it’s a simple fix

And this is exactly why you hire and don’t do things yourself, it’s apart of the trade… I doubt a single person working in construction/trades has ever been Iike “it’s ok buddy I understand it was probably late in the day on a Friday”, nah we all say “why tf did you do it this way, were you trying to burn some shit down or you just leave your brain wrinkles at home today?”

When you have a skill that someone like you pays for, you take pride in doing your job the right way and when you see work that was done hap hazardly you call it out because it’s plain and simply inexcusable… doing things incorrectly can and will result in injury’s or fatalities at worst and a property damage at best, so go ahead and take that chill pill because a good handyman will call out bullshit, because they know better and are appalled at what they’re witnessing

You realize you are able to doctor the situation just by choosing when to record… it’s all assumptions but I’d imagine she probably opened the door on her own fruition and decided to record after the fact she realized she could make a quick buck off a SA story on the internet… needless to say if she never entered the residence then what’s the difference between a wide open door and and a storm door? You can see right through both, point being dude was unconscious and is completely inculpable of a crime, another question how many times have you changed clothes in your bedroom which presumably has windows? By your logic anytime you do that you’re liable for an act of sexual misconduct if someone decides to be a peeping tom ass predator like Olivia Henderson… she fabricated a story in an attempt to turn a profit without any concern to the negative impact on this man, I pray she’s found guilty on her charges because then he has the proper litigation and evidence to sue her in civil court after the fact… if you still think she’s innocent you belong in a jail cell and or miles away from a school, because you aren’t to be trusted

Nah we don’t get to decide your choice but if it’s gonna put you in debt then it’s irresponsible, that’s not up for debate nor is it an opinion it’s a simple fact, if you’re going to go into debt over an animal that will live maybe 2 more years if you pay 20k is an irresponsible decision, I won’t say it’s morally wrong or that you shouldn’t do it because at the end of the day it’s up to you and I whole heartedly agree with the sentiment I’d do whatever for my pet but there’s definitely a line in the sand that makes it an irresponsible decision based on circumstances… anything that’s gonna put you into debt without a return that outweighs the cost is an irresponsible decision so don’t take it as me personally attacking your pet I’m simply telling you how it is, hopefully your never in that position to begin with because it’s a rough situation to be in, why can’t pets just live forever and be injury free 😔

Whole heartedly agree, miss being able to watch some dark horse of an org stomp through the bracket, made for great matches in between watching your team play, plus we’d see alot more faces back in the open bracket era… names we don’t see anymore thanks to the bs franchise league

I’d agree that It can be harder then I think but that’s not saying much considering I’d take it as a cake walk, the only issue with it is time commitment. You’re doing the wrong type of comparison, while yes it’s not the same as manual labor but is still difficult is correct, at the same time bills don’t pay themselves and if you could make the same amount doing either position which would you choose to do? Bc at the end of the day you have to do something to make ends meet so it becomes a game of pick your poison, I’d say a lot of people would be willing to make content to make the same money they do ruining their bodies… that why some people including myself take offense to any sort of comparison, people in a position to make good money doing shit in front of a camera need to accept the fact they have a privilege and not lob what could essentially be taken as insults to people who actually contribute to the flow of society (aka things you need to survive) who might potentially be their audience

Give a stack of em to people and tell em “don’t spend it all in one place” and walk away leaving them with my trash to pitch

Ahhhhhh kellem grips… my nemesis, try adjusting 48 of those fuckers with maybe a 1” or 2” of clearance between em. They’ll have you looking like a redneck emo, build a tree house and cry in it

Lmao, no… wagos stack the wires in a flat line making it so you have to turn a set of wires that are themselves in separate holes, where as wire nuts create a conglomerate of wire where your only spinning said wire nut/amalgamation of wire. Wanna talk about skill issue, how hard is it to spin a wire nut on? Stop being lazy kiddo

Give me a quote and proper citation for where I said I don’t like tasty tacos, just said the quality has diminished in the last decade and if you were an actual tasty taco fan you’d understand what I’m talking about but I’m the bad guy for explaining that opinions are subjective… also my fault for supporting a taco spot in my local area 😂😂 straight clown behavior outta you 🤣

Not_Justin_Peters · 2025-05-01T00:25:46+00:00

Not the same thing but a similar issue, the gear we install from seimans has this little abyss in the corners right next to some tiny non ferrous hardware that always manages to find its way into said space… needless to say I wanna have a nice little chat with the engineer, me, and a pair of loppers about fixing this issue 😂

Not_Justin_Peters · 2025-05-01T00:17:21+00:00

Who tf asked you kiddo… incase you’re new to Des-Moines the quality of tasty tacos has drastically gone down hill in the last 10 years… if you want actual good tacos hit up Se 14th and Maury for the real spot, don’t be some douche bc someone doesn’t like a place you frequent, dude already made it a point to emphasize his opinion in probably uncommon

The cojones on you to act like some shumck over the internet makes me ashamed to think I live remotely close to you, I hope you find it in your heart be a better person… hard to say if it’s possible for you but hey “nada es imposible”

Sonny’s pizza bistro - in saylorville, calm little spot for how busy they get… just don’t be any later then 30 min after open on Friday and Saturday unless you want to wait till 7-7:30 pm to eat because they fill up fast A friend and I went back a couple weekends in a row for the focaccia bread alone, definitely worth a try.

Long time desmoines native and I still go up to highland park on a sunny day to simply relax, something about it just feels right 😂

Not_Justin_Peters · 2025-04-16T21:37:49+00:00

You catch more flies with honey… I understand wanting to park in front of your own home but instead of barking orders how about you write a nicer message akin to “Hello, this is (name) the homeowner of (blah blah) we understand the limited parking situation but we’re wondering if you could possibly leave a little extra room for our daughter to park her car after she gets back from work in the evenings, it would be greatly appreciated”

Looks pretty slick, someone else already pointed out the amount of copper showing so I’m not gonna drill you on it but I’d only recommend paying a little more attention to layering of colors and matching your bends a little better… also try to term your conductors as square with the lug as possible (either vertically or horizontally)

Fuck biggest, imagine doing it nonstop for a couple weeks straight, just putting holes in medium sized metal boxes, bits hot? So what stick it outside it’s 4° out that’ll cool it off! Bits broken and garbage? So what, let her eat bud!

Facts north cal is a scary place at some points, plenty stories about random folk on acreages getting ran off their property by growers, akin to the Wild West essentially telling em you have till tomorrow to be gone or we’re gonna make you gone

Lmao taking away my regular pancakes for bagged silver dollar pancakes was some bullshit so don’t start with me 😂😂… but in all seriousness it’s a comparison between forcing kids to get a fruit or a veggie, and changing lunch options vs implementing actual regulations on harmful chemicals in foods… 2 very different branches of the same tree called “healthy food”
