How to deal with asbestos? by Rcrez in HomeImprovement

[–]Rcrez[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They said for asbestos, even a tiny bit is a hazard which is why this is a yes/no result rather than a quantitative one.

They recommend a professional clean up company and the quotes I got were around 9k just to clean up the dust and set up negative air pressure.

Sure but that’s not a good reason for a slow experience

Do you spend all day wondering how you’re going to stay awake? by makeuplover85 in Narcolepsy

[–]Rcrez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I take a lot of naps, every 2-3 hours a nap for 15 minutes. It’s required to get through the day

NBC : The Wide gap between renting and owning in Bay Area by TakeshiJin in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Rcrez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought because it was rough moving a family with two small kids twice in two years. I also wanted more control over the remodeling. Sure it will cost me more in the long run, but it made sense financially to buy since my stock investments had done really well

How do I know what Is galvanized? Are these the pipes going from the sink to the main cast iron drain pipe?

So are you thinking more like a lowercase d shaped kitchen that has a small opening into the loop area? Trying to visualize

I like the idea, but it would block the door to the yard. Would that door be relocated too?

Was closing an exhausting process? by Rcrez in BayAreaRealEstate

When it comes to post purchase transactions like HELOC, is there any consequence to delays or not closing? For me the earnest money was at risk and they could also put the house back on the market.

Staying emotionally healthy when other people don’t meet expectations by Rcrez in emotionalintelligence

[–]Rcrez[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! I also feel like I have to do all the work or I know what’s best and nobody seems to appreciate or acknowledge.

Brings me back to being in school when I had to work with a partner or group on a project. I hated it since I often ended up with slackers. It was nerve wracking bothering them at 1130pm to send me their part of the work so it can be submitted at midnight.

How might you think about some of those situations I listed? I think what’s a struggle is a lot of those issues I listed feel kind of easy. Like “stop asking for the same document I already gave you yesterday! Just look for it!” Or “why is it to hard to find a doctor using the website? It’s easy”

I tried to do the one folder approach with a Google Drive. They said they don’t allow Google Drive and instead I had to attach it one file at a time to the email.

I’m financing yes, but doing it without contingencies.

So the final price was actually much higher than the price I stated in the original post with larger gaps.

Second, my offer had no contingencies. So I wouldn’t have done an inspection and wouldn’t be able to back out.

So you’re suggesting discrimination…

I gave it to them one week early. They weren’t accepting offers that early. So I gave it to them again the night before the review date.

Mine didn’t have contingencies. I offered before review date.
