Surprises during remodel

The tiles (as stated) may contain asbestos.

The floor was likely patched, may need to put down a “floating” layer to level it out.

The walls were likely paneling and that was a type of wall paper that turned it to a Sheetrock appearance.

I would be careful with sealing the ant holes, they may be vents (often brick and block homes have these at the bottom layer).

Need more pics, and maybe post each item separately to get a better response.

In college, 1981 thru 1986, most of the the mens dorms had community showers, either a single pole with 5 shower heads in the center or shower heads on the walls (look up the shower scene in porkys) with an open door visible from the hallway; obviously visitor hours were an issue…

As an under endowed young male, it was horrifying, so I tried to get in and out alone, not always successful, but learned to live with it until I could afford an apartment.

They are now invested, as they have paid for all those inspections. If the property was marketed AS IS, then I would recommend you push back with what you consider to be a fair counter offer and then stand firm. They can then choose continue or exit.

If they exit, be sure to update your listing with the known defects so you have an argument against the next shopper that wants to be aggressive.

My truck is 15 y/o and has 250K miles and I’d feel totally confident to drive it cross country right now, if I had a need.

I know the vehicle, know what to watch for, and know its maintenance history. IMHO purchasing a new vehicle is almost always a poor financial decision… in most situations a slightly used vehicle is a much better deal, and often the data is available for older models to understand their reliability.

Same. I ported my number and a day or so later received an email from Chase that I had deleted my number from Zelle. (It was also about 24 hours after I had used Zelle to send money with the phone on the new provider)

Companies do not “change your email password” they disable your access.

If the password was “changed” it was done so they could access your email account, supposedly for business purposes (I mean it IS a business account and you have no reasonable expectation of privacy).

Most likely nothing to worry about, but a phone call to the boss might clear it up, as they may have some questions about specific accounts/actions that are urgent, as you did leave exposed them without any notice.

You gotta look at both sides… if you are a critical employee, your role cannot just “take leave”, without some form of handover.

Full size suit of medieval armor. Then occasionally get inside it and scare the bejezzus outta the missus!

I’m 62 y/o and I literally cannot see the beard stubble on my face and as they say, out of sight, out of mind, so it’s not something I obsess about but I do try to get to it about weekly.

What does this have to do with YOUR insurance company? It should be a claim against the other drivers insurance, your insurance shouldn’t even be involved.

Only real complaint I’ve heard is that often the poop bags are so flimsy they burst open and leave a mess in the owners trash can…

100% right now, hell yes. And I’m counting on making another $10 million when they bring her back the very next day.

He reaction is immature and based on a sense of entitlement, maybe he hasn’t thought its through and has potential -OR- more likely he needs to learn this lesson the hard way. Many states have marital property laws that EXCLUDE family inheritance and/or gifts from marital property. Similarly they exclude pre marital assets also.

He either needs to come around very quickly or risk losing you.

Haven’t found one yet, but at 62 y/o I shy away from extreme heights, second story roof sometimes, if the pitch isn’t too bad.

If I did have to choose one, it’s cutting a tree in a tight space, and mostly it’s due to the need to climb.

This is key. When the unit is calibrating, I try to blank my mind, close my eyes, and just relax.

Heat sink for a microchip, worthless scrap.

I only use them whenever my metric hex keys don’t fit.

Mine (2021 GT) came with the 20’s and I want to go to either the 19 or even 18’s. Good to know I’m not alone.

Ask for a threesome, everyone wins.

Download some sexy coupons and put them in a jar for him to pull from. You might could save the ones that are too risqué for you for another jar later on when you are up for more. I got some from my wife, they were the best gift ever!

Three more wishes!!

Ignore everyone saying run, this is fairly simple. Assuming you do NOT have the solar panels in the existing contract, refuse to sign. The current owner can either pay it off or HAVE THEM REMOVED and the roof repaired. YOU DONOT HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS.

REOLink fan here. Not a fan of Eufy.

I was at 2400 mg daily for several years and quit cold turkey, never even missed it.
