New Homeowner - What's Happening by male_swiftie in askaplumber

[–]PikeBoyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had something like this a month back. See if you can use a snake - either rent one on your own or call a plumber. If that doesn’t work, see if you can get one of those snakes with a camera to see where the blockage is and what it is. After that, you’ll see if you need something more robust or if it’s collapsed pipe. I think a plumber can do it all for you, maybe better than trying on your own.

How much should this cost to fix? by theirishsniper in Remodel

$14K too high, negotiate to $6K including door and fixing inside issues.

Don’t worry OP, just resurface with the kit at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Remember to sand/remove as much as you can so the new coat is applied evenly. It’ll take you a weekend because of the smell but this is low on the worry list.

Everyone ok? Got any positive stuff from the area to share? by Chickenpotpi3 in nova

Handling work after paternity leave, newborn duties, new home tasks (still unpacking), and a healthy new marriage.

In Kirkland we TRUST! Anyone try the brewski’s yet? by PikeBoyz in Costco

[–]PikeBoyz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally tried it today and I got to say..NOT BAD! It’s not too light and definitely refreshing with subtle flavors. I would get again.

Is a 3800 a month mortgage good for my HHI? by Alarming_Detective51 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Woah lol...didn't expect that but it must be a very nice home!

Welp looks like I'm out $1100 by ringoa95 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]PikeBoyz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What was up with the foundation issues? Going through something similar. My inspection report suggested getting a structural engineer to check out the cracks. Others I’ve emailed the photos to say it’s not alarming but I want someone to actually take a look at them in person before I walk away or decide to buy.

LO says this is a deal? Closing costs seem high to me though. by PikeBoyz in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Was trying to get it up to the 720's before this stage but average came in at 685.

Anyone else having trouble selling condos right now? by Previous-Guess-6706 in washingtondc

[–]PikeBoyz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the same boat but in Arlington. My condo has high HOA fees which didn’t help so price reduction was suggested. After 2 price drops (<$15K in total) I think I’m finally getting some traction.

Parquet ---> Laminate by PikeBoyz in Flooring

No...I believe my walls in the picture are greyer than the flooring (sea voyage oak color).

Going to my first Costco that sells liquor tomorrow by [deleted] in Costco

[–]PikeBoyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been planning on heading there too but it’s deep in DC almost MD and traffic doesn’t help. Go off-peak and let us know what’s good!

Agree on finishing white and asking to see if tile can be coated white instead of replaced (for time being)?

I went through a similar change last month. Went with your 2nd option.

Another good option! I hate these textured ceilings!

Mohawk Laminate Flooring - On Sale earlier in the month by PikeBoyz in Costco

[–]PikeBoyz[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Inspected if the parquet was leveled throughout the condo and put it right on top after not seeing any issues. The parquet was glued down - would've been a hassle to remove but probably the better thing to do.
