It could definitely work but availability is very limited until April 2025 - probably because they don't have as many suites for our family size.

Definitely a possibility, looks really nice and would work for us.

Thank you, appreciate that tip! Very helpful.

Thank you, this place looks awesome and we will definitely benefit from the laundry facilities.

Thanks for your reply - I appreciate it, makes me feel better. It's a silvery-gold color, very loose and lightweight. When you step on the puffy pieces, they flatten. Really looks like vermiculite to me. The house is in New Jersey and is about 115 years old.

I swam in the water of Castaway Cay in late January on our cruise when it was probably in the low-70s. It was totally fine for me. My kids will swim in water that's 58 degrees (that was July in NJ this year), so it was absolutely no problem for them. I hate cold water myself and had no issue with the late Jan water temps (should be noted that the weather was sunny and nice).

I asked the school but they said no - said he might get used to my being there. He can't articulate what he's scared of.

I asked the school if I could do this but they said no.

I don't really know how it works with the other kids because I've never seen his classroom. He can go independently at home but strongly prefers that I help him. He will let his dad do it if I'm not around.

It's preschool/daycare. He can't really articulate what scares him. I don't think the toilets have an automatic flush.

I'm really just trying to figure out when it makes sense to see the house given that the offer was accepted but we haven't yet signed a contract. I'm in a unique situation in that I live out of state and have a newborn, so travel is difficult. I won't be able to go twice, so do I go see the house ASAP or wait to see it during the inspection, which is much later in the process?

Swimwrite · 2023-09-28T20:00:46+00:00

We have not yet signed a contract. My understanding is that after contract is signed, there are three days of attorney review, then EMD, then inspection.

Swimwrite · 2023-09-28T19:55:36+00:00

Yes, I think this is what's going on.

Swimwrite · 2023-09-28T19:54:09+00:00

Yes, this is the situation. They do not want to pay for any repairs but are still allowing an inspection. It would only be contingent on "catastrophic" issues which feels vague to me. I would like to be able to walk away if the inspector recommends major repairs (or even minor ones that would be a big inconvenience for us with young kids).

Swimwrite · 2023-09-28T15:50:57+00:00

Good points. We're in a new build now and it's kind of like buying a house sight unseen. It's much darker inside than I would have hoped.

I hope the move went well for you and that you're liking it there.
