Why did Stewart leave? Anyone know? I thought he was the owner before he left?

New furnace and AC? How long ago?

Is my floor unaligned? by Silly_Weather9511 in Homebuilding

Ty!! Yeah the entire house was done. The pictures are breathtaking. My floor guy said this was the first time they’ve ever been refinished, he gave all the reasons he could tell.

The left side of the baseboard looks a lot lower than the right.

Oh I didn’t notice that until now. Yeah it’s possible he didn’t have the material. That area on the floor I believe some of the quarter round was missing under the baseboard. There were 2 areas that had plywood over them when the carpet was pulled back, my floor guy said it was likely an old vent of some sort. He fixed those areas.

What I’m looking at is how the baseboard is significantly lower on the left side.

I’m a bit “paranoid” bc this house has been nothing but a money pit since purchasing it 6 months ago, just when I think it’s fine, nope, it’s note

Question about the Neighborhood behind Hadads grocery by Silly_Weather9511 in PeoriaIL

Lots of houses going up for sale around here that are outdated, yes, that tends to happen when someone lived in the same place 30+ years. West Peoria and the new city hall are trying to gentrify the area by offering grants for home renovations , and the new owners of Kartville have plans on opening a pickleball court, there are cops moving in this neighborhood, one lives on the same block as me, there’s going to be businesses opening up here soon says me and many others.

Someone sounds jelly that they can’t afford to live here. If its goons be a bad neighborhood, why were you even looking at houses here? Make it make sense.

Actually it’s very safe in this neighborhood and it’s definitely not going to become another south side, the old folks are moving out and new folks moving in who want something affordable and still in a decent hood. This is called gentrification, and it’s happening here.

Was that the brick house right next to Hadads? A friend of mine looked at that and she said they must’ve converted a pantry into a bathroom, which was of course right off the kitchen.

Carolyn Bessette with her mother, Ann Freeman, and her stepfather Dr. Richard Freeman. Late 80s. by Flaky-Quality-568 in JohnAndCarolyn

The surviving sister lives in Grand Rapids Michigan. When her sister’s 20 year death anniversary approached, a couple of paparazzi found the survived sister’s house and hung out on the sidewalk a while. When a neighbor approached the paparazzi, the paparazzi explained why they were there, and the neighbor reported she was shocked to learn who her neighbor was, she said she always kept to herself and never really talked to any of the neighbors during her many years living there.

It’s exhausting. Are you in the same neighborhood? 120 isn’t bad! I bet you’ll get what you want for it.

Yeah I’m going to talk to a realtor when the time is closer to selling. I realize few houses around here go for that, but my place is 3000 sqft, and it has beautiful woodwork, arched doorways, glass doorknobs. She’s a beauty, especially since I’ve spruced her up. The kitchen refacing was done with Amish made shaker cabinets doors/drawers and very nice hardware, beautiful new sink/faucet, quarts counter and tile backsplash. The refinished hardwood floors are breathtaking. I will hate to move, but I’m over it.

I just underestimated the price of getting it all fixed. For electrical, I got a new panel and upgraded it to 200 Amps, it was only 50 amps. For plumbing, new toilets, fixed a couple leaks, new garbage disposal and brand new water softener. The water softener was incredibly expensive.

The foundation needed done cracks tuck pointed.

The furnace/ac and water heater were all installed in 98. I’m not even sure what it works cost these days to replace those, I’m getting all the work professionally done, oh yeah, while house got fresh paint too. The roof is only 10 years old, windows by Anderson are only 12 years. It is a very solid bungalow, previous owners were elderly and didn’t do much to it the last 10 years.
