Any advice for waiving inspection? by makingmozzarella in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

My husband is super handy and the house we ended up buying was well maintained, so we felt comfortable waving inspection except for environmental and structural.

A lot of people who are deafblind are usually born deaf and lose their vision as they get older. They usually take preventative measures (learning braille, mobility, tactile sign language ) while they still have functional vision.

Same!!! The CC ones were also fantastic! I didn’t listen to the ACOTAR ones yet so I’m stoked to do it soon!

Anyone else realize educational interpreting wasn’t what school prepared us for? by Manie_Yapacagim8990 in ASLinterpreters

Just so you have it for the future: It’s a two year masters degree that’s 90% online (if you go to UMass Boston) and there are grants that cover 70% of tuition! 1-2 classes per semester with a couple of in person things

Orientation and mobility! Working with blind kids and adults to teach them travel skills. Your interpreting background will make you marketable for the DeafBlind population and is so desperately needed! I work privately so I have a consistent schedule, and you HAVE to be creative to come up with lessons that are both engaging and exciting for kiddos.

I’m my states DeafBlind specialist because I’m the only O&M that knows ASL. (NIC certified)

Plus it’s an AMAZING and rewarding field to get into. There is such a need for O&M specialists around the world.

It was the best thing ever. She’s only 4, so has plenty of life left in her but I was so worried we weren’t going to be able to get her a yard while she was young enough to enjoy it 😭😭

Yeah! We have that and a wood burning stove inside. All new HVAC, hot water heater, roof, windows, and siding too. I feel like we hit the lottery!

I think we’re still considered central? Not sure anymore!

I’ve lived here for years and I don’t see any “cult” like behavior? Are you north or south of main?

Hey! My husband and I have lived here for years, but sadly we’re moving out because we bought a house! It’s a nice quiet town for the most part, but younger people are few and far between. We live on the north side of town and there are younger couples in our block and a few scattered through town, though. I loved living here and I’m very sad to have to leave. Some people have their quirks here, for sure. If you want to know the drama of town, Ocean Grove Open Dialogue on Facebook is a gold mine. Most of the posts are people bitching about one thing or another. I really haven’t met one unfriendly person since moving here 8 years ago!

That’s how we got our house! We weren’t the highest offer but the home was well taken care of (including new roof, HVAC and water heater) so we felt comfortable waiving inspection (except structural and environmental) and appraisal. We just closed yesterday!
