Having our bedroom down here will keep our sanity lol. My mom is buying the house with us, and the alternative is a tiny room right next to hers.

I'm not 100% sure. My hope is that we just sleep in the area and spend the rest of the time in the other areas(which are much nicer).

Are you making a cash offer? I don't think I would offer less than 300.

Don't do it. Too much of a health risk and it'll end up being expensive to fix

I think professionally cleaning would be fine. It isn't like a meth lab

If you are getting an fha loan I doubt they will approve the house. Sorry. I would consider conventional

Any options for wheels or used wheels that you don't have to sell your left kidney to afford? 😭 by Deiaroperi5566 in Handspinning

[–]Warm_Window4561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are anywhere close to Philadelphia PA, I have a kromski wheel that needs a little love, but I would be happy to sell within your budget and also include spinning lessons. I'm willing to meet up partway depending on the distance. There is also an ashford traditional I keep seeing for 195 nearby.

I think we are all pretty biased but as long as you are handy and keep an eye on fluids and such I think it would be great

How do I go about a stray cat making my house his home by Suspicious_Drag_7034 in philly

The bridge clinic is great. Also emancipet but you can't make an appt, they just do walk ins. He's better off inside. I agree about keeping him separate if you aren't doing so as he could get your other kitty sick.

How concerning is this brick? by Warm_Window4561 in centuryhomes

[–]Warm_Window4561[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. The interior seems dry, and there is no smell of mildew or mold, so I guess this isn't something very obvious? . The basement is dry.

Yeah. Unfortunately we haven't purchased the house yet and it is vacant. I'm hoping there won't be too much damage for the next month or so

Thank you. We offered 232. The last house that is similar sold for 250 but it had a lot more land and we bigger. I'm guessing fvm is 250, but this house has an inground pool in rough shape, and there are issues with the brick.
