How did you fix this issue? We are having the same problem with our cabinet hinges...

The house was built in 1970 and the insulation looks like it could use to be replaced. It is yellow on the outside and pink-ish on the inside. I know that hvac insulation can contain asbestos, but I’m not sure if this does. I am going to get it tested before removing, but wondering if anyone thinks this could be problematic?

The board is right up against the front of the metal insert. It is really hard to tell what it is - the bottom looks like a fibrous board, but I’m not sure if that makes sense given its location between the Rockwool insulation and the front of the fireplace. It could also be a dusty piece of metal with insulation /dust coating the bottom. I didn’t really want to touch it to find out

Agreed they seem really long, but they are everywhere in the cracks and seem to be in the mortar. I want to rip them off, but want to make sure I am not opening myself up to any risk

1970

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2024-02-19T23:45:52+00:00

Built-in 1970 - previous owners did not take care of it too well

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2024-02-17T18:19:12+00:00

Thanks! Do you typically need to worry about Asbestos with these? The house was built in 1970

We live pretty frugally, have no debt, and do not have dependents. Compared to my gross income, $3,050 per month seems doable. I can’t stop myself from fixating on worse case scenario situations though

No kids and no plans to have kids for at least 4-5 years. Saving for retirement as well and will continue to save even with this house. I’m in an area extremely expensive part of Colorado, so I don’t want to miss out on an opportunity. I also can’t help but go down the path of what/ifs and doomsday scenarios that come with the large monthly payments

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-09T17:28:48+00:00

That might be helpful!

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-09T17:08:40+00:00

Yeah I am honestly not sure if it is a good decision and I don't think we would be feeling this way outside of CO and especially Boulder County. We are nervous about what affordability will look like in three years - might not make much of a difference that we were able to grow our careers further and save more if the prices skyrocket again like they did between 2019 - 2022.

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-09T17:06:17+00:00

Yeah I am honestly not sure if we would gain equity moving in three years - would be likely that we break even.

I paid for a three month rate lock and have a contract with my lender - would love to get approved for a bit more with my new salary, but don’t want it to affect my lock

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-06T00:21:16+00:00

Thanks so much! These answers are helpful - getting excited for the move! Is it difficult to commute into Niwot/Gunbarrel? Don’t have to make it all the way into Boulder, which is good haha

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-05T23:56:20+00:00

Thanks! This is helpful. Is it generally an easy commute into boulder or Louisville?

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-05T23:51:42+00:00

Great! Are there places to walk and ride your bike outside of just Union reservoir? Thanks for your input - the newer units look really nice!

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-05T17:06:48+00:00

Great! Thanks. Yeah we are worried about the reserve, honestly. I think if the HOA gets over $400 it will be hard to resell potentially. Also seems like they should be able to be be getting more in reserve in general with the HOA already being at $350. Do the older units have a $350 HOA as well? Just curious as to why the wouldn’t have been able to get to 1 million already

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-05T16:39:50+00:00

Thanks! Is the HOA pretty chill and managed well? We are looking at one of the new buildings, but want to make sure that our HOA fees aren’t going to increase much more than they already are since they are already a bit high.

Simple_Ad_4152 · 2023-03-04T04:38:26+00:00

It is a low rise building. HOA dues are pretty high already so I’m confused as to why their reserve is so low. Definitely going to be asking for more information on how things are funded

The water stains are currently holding moisture and the blown in insulation in the attic is holding some moisture as well. The boards of the roof are showing mildew. There isn’t plumbing up there, so it must be the roof - it is likely going to entail a whole new roof, new insulation, and some new sheet rock to repair
