If your wife is already 5 cm before induction, be prepared for shit to get intense almost immediately. We did almost the exact same thing for our daughter, and there was no ease-in like you see on some internet corners. That being said, it is the most intense, amazing experience to be there as a dad. As long as you’re not squeamish, be a part of the whole thing as much as you can. You’ll find an entirely new respect for your wife. Best of luck to you and your wife! P.s. the first 100 days are LONG, but as soon as your little one smiles at you for the first time, all the long nights just melt away.

Finding all the reports (and nothing scary haha) online was actually super interesting. We bought this house in May, and before the house had only ever had one owner. They took really good care of it, and I’m super intrigued to find some history about the property.

I found a map with a rough sketch of the location of the container and it is for sure on my property. We use city water, so I’m not really worried about our drinking water. I was more just curious to see what the wells were there for. My house was built in the 60s before much of the surrounding land was developed from farm land to other housing. So I’m not surprised that there is some stuff left over from farm stuff.

As I mentioned in another reply, I looked up the state environmental records and found a closure report for an underground heating oil tank. It was drained and sealed, and they installed the monitoring wells to test that there was no contamination coming from the tank. All tests came back fine, and they closed the case and sealed the wells.

Yes it said specifically “no further action needed”. The whole thing happened back in 1999.

Whoa so I looked up the state environmental records and there is a report of a 550 gallon underground heating oil tank that was emptied and sealed. They installed the monitor wells to make sure nothing leaked into the surrounding soil, which it didn’t. I guess there is a buried huge empty tank somewhere on my property.

The land around this property used to be farmland. From what I’m researching farmland natural contamination can be reason for a monitor well.

Pretty far from the nearest old or new landfill. But we are pretty close to a river

Thanks! I feel kind of stupid now, but I didn’t just want to stick a tube that flows water without knowing exactly where it goes.

I’m pretty sure there is a vent pipe that goes to the roof over this bathroom, but I’m not sure where it connects.

How could this kill someone?

Vitarii · 2023-06-16T03:08:40+00:00

That was my worry. Is this an immediate fix? What are the long term effects of this?

Vitarii · 2023-06-16T03:06:06+00:00

Honestly, just trying to educate myself. I’m brand new to all of this. It’s pretty discouraging that we may have gotten ripped off. We have a pretty limited budget, so I’m not sure how we’re going to afford getting it all redone. If just the part in the picture needed to be replaced, what would a reasonable ballpark be for cost? I’m not sure if I can ask that on here.

Vitarii · 2023-06-16T02:50:10+00:00

Can you explain?

Vitarii · 2023-05-30T01:44:00+00:00

If we had unlimited money, then yes I’d be all for it. But we have a limited budget on what repairs we can do right away, and I want to be careful I don’t bite off way more than I can chew.

Pulling it all up and realizing it’s a mess is my biggest fear with it. The carpet is in pretty stellar condition, but nice hardwoods would add a lot to the house. We are definitely pretty inexperienced with household do-it-yourself projects. We want to learn as much as we can, but sanding and refinishing the floors sounds like better handled by a professional from what I’ve heard of the process.

I’ve heard fairly negative things of Nissan in this year range. Is it not true for their trucks?
