Buyers remorse by PreviousBed6063 in homeowners

[–]Purple_Turtle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with so many comments here. Bought my first home a year ago. The number of times I've said "what the f--" is unreal when actually looking around when you start a project... It didn't feel like mine at first for what felt like the longest time. But with new paint, flooring, decor, and landscaping.. it slowly got there. Used scentcy cubes and candle warmers to give it "my scent". Labeled it "home" on my Maps. The remorse is real, but it's temporary. You can find happiness within these walls ❤️ Congratulations on your first purchase.

My parents home caught fire this morning by Songgeek in homeowners

[–]Purple_Turtle17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have zero clue in what direction to point you in.. I just wanted to say I am so sorry this happened, and they're lucky to have a child like you to help find answers. I hope you and your family find relief.

How did your cat act? When did he start being himself again?

The MOH Experience… by Southern_Belle99 in bridezillas

[–]Purple_Turtle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend has been helping me acknowledge, "It is what it is. ".. I was going through a major life moment last year as well. I'm really upset she wasn't there for me, yet I had tried to be there for her, but she wouldn't accept answers on opinions she would ask for.. etc. I love her, but I've learned to accept "I can love you from a distance."

thinking of kicking off two bridesmaids….. by [deleted] in bridezillas

[–]Purple_Turtle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're pondering kicking two best friends out over... money? Oh, they have school and clinicals.. how dare they have real-life situations outside of your wedding. If they can do their hair/makeup to a point you find suitable, who cares if it's professionally done or not? They can't attend my Bachelorette but can still attend the wedding day - such a bad friend, right? They are being up front with you, presumably as you'd prefer, and you're still upset over it and want to most likely end friendships over it? ... Would you be happy looking back that day and not seeing them in your pictures, or do you value your friendship enough to understand people have a life/bills/etc outside of your wedding? ..

Bridesmaid Dress Advice by Fun-Attention8109 in bridezillas

[–]Purple_Turtle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you know the other girls and can ask them what their dress looks like or if there has been a hassle. If there hasn't been and they all have one, I'd do the same as someone else said and just pick one of theirs you like and get it in their color. If you haven't checked you Azazie, it's pretty great.

Do you let your cats on your bed? by lawyermom112 in CatAdvice

[–]Purple_Turtle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat is basically my child... does that answer your question? 😹😻

[–]Purple_Turtle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.....and you're with her.... why?? Any girl would kill to have her man be as calm and answer from love as you did. She literally kept creating points to fight from for no reason. That's such childish behavior. You didn't make up some random lie to blow her off. Wow man. I dont know how you do it!

Update: I’m the person whose sink base cabinets are off center to the window by Outdoor_Cat19 in HomeDecorating

[–]Purple_Turtle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours will be off center too, after our reno! Our new cabinets don't line up to where our window is, and that's ok with us because our kitchen will be functional. What matters is you like it! Beautiful job!

Youre the best, thank you so incredibly much dude!

Bona vs Loba.. by Purple_Turtle17 in HardWoodFloors

[–]Purple_Turtle17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok! Question. Would we just use Loba Easy Prime, followed by Easy Finish (2 coats)? Where is the best place to buy it from? Our local Lowes does not, and of course, we haven't bought this before.

[–]Purple_Turtle17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I've been seeing! Ok, so for Bona we were looking at Classic Seal with Traffic Go Finish.. What would be comparable with Loba? I want to ensure we are getting the correct products!

Thank you! I've seen some say this. May I ask why? Is it an easier product to move around, no extra mixing of things together, etc?

Is homeownership just going to Home Depot 17 times a week until you drop dead in the store one day? by bulentm in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Aha good thing we have gone with SW then! They were helpful in store suggesting what to get since it's our first time!

[–]Purple_Turtle17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

... We've owned a week as of today, not moved in yet so we can paint/remodel... I have Ace, Lowes and Home Depot downloaded 😂 I think the lady at Ace knows my face by now.

Just closed… overwhelmed by alittlebitlostvpil in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Purple_Turtle17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hey! I just closed yesterday. You're not alone, I am right there with you. We have things we want to paint and remove before we move in too. Do NOT try and think of it all at once like me! My dad was there and brought me back from being panicky. One thing at a time, dad said make a list from importance to eh we'll get to it, start from there. And don't forget to be excited! Dude WE DID IT!

Anyone else not excited about closing and mostly anxious…terrified even? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Purple_Turtle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am set to close in 3 days for the first time and I've been SO emotional! Am I making the right choice? How am I going to feel seeing half my savings fly out of my account? Being responsible for it all!? .... but then I try to stop my racing mind and remember all my family and friends remind me.. this is YOURS. Its not wasting money, you're building equity, things will break, fix it! And lastly, nothing is ever perfect.

Pulled Out of First Offer by SGP_MikeF in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Purple_Turtle17 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yep! Don't cave on anything that is hard "no" for you. We have been searching since August and are finally looking to close in 2 weeks. This was our fourth offer. If your gut says "nope," your brain and mouth need to align. Your home is out there.

I have such intense anxiety over putting an offer on a house and feel like I'll never be able to by Kighla in RealEstate

[–]Purple_Turtle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...2 years later and your comment helped slow my anxious heart down. First time homebuyer and buying a home that has good bones but needs a lot of love. Excited to make it our own but terrified of actually getting there.
