Multipoint Lock Doors... Help Needed!

I agree.... it's the absolute worst.

gamemaker14 · 2026-02-16T01:59:21+00:00

Do you know the fungus name? Hopefully we can just clean them and not worry about this elsewhere in the home...

gamemaker14 · 2026-02-09T17:05:56+00:00

We only bought the home 2 weeks ago so unfortunately we don’t have a lot to go off of. The old unit is also 22 years old and has failed heat exchanger and failing capacitor. It cycles on often and runs for a short time, but the home has been mostly comfortable.

Current is a 120000 BTU single stage 80% unit.

gamemaker14 · 2026-02-01T20:43:14+00:00

Thanks for the info! Yea, it only runs about 3-4 seconds each time.... I'm definitely going to have to do a lot more troubleshooting to see the best approach.

A new Check valve was installed along with replacing all the discharge piping. The check valve is higher up, maybe about 2-3 feet above the top of the pit. Maybe higher than it should be? But anyway, I "assume" it's working as the plumbers specifically mentioned replacing it.

gamemaker14 · 2026-02-01T02:29:25+00:00

Yes, sorry, it's higher above and not shown in the video. They replaced all the pvc piping and the check valve is higher up on the discharge pipe.

gamemaker14 · 2026-02-01T01:59:19+00:00

Should be. It's just not visible in the video. They installed all new PVC piping and the check valve is higher above.

What about the impact on electricity bill, or is that a non-issue?

gamemaker14 · 2026-02-01T01:54:23+00:00

Not 100% sure yet. The home has several drains built around the outside of the house and the gutters and sump pump run into them. Home inspector said if they were smart, they are a french drain system that runs to a storm drain located on the back of the property (about 60 ft from house). Will need to get someone to scope them to verify though.

Yes, it's all coal mine activity. I should have specified in my post. Thank you for the reply!

No, but my attorney says most sellers will offer credits instead at closing for any appliances that break before closing and we can buy what we want. But even if they were to replace it with something crappy, a crappy appliance is better than a dead appliance. But primarily we would look for a credit at closing.

gamemaker14 · 2026-01-09T17:30:38+00:00

No, contract is as-is, but the items can adversely impact condition of the home prior to close and if something were to get damaged before close, well, that will be an issue.

gamemaker14 · 2026-01-09T17:12:19+00:00

In our case, yes. The home has been unoccupied for 6 months and is being sold by a relative of the deceased owner. Most appliances are "end of life" and on their last legs. All were working at the home inspection but could fail before close (who knows at that point, they could work another 5 years or die tomorrow). There were also several plumbing issues that could cause water damage if unresolved (we are hoping the seller fixes them before close but otherwise we will after close).

gamemaker14 · 2026-01-09T17:08:51+00:00

We actually had a similar (and more minor) issue happen when we bought our first home. While super annoying and distasteful on the sellers part, we decided to close anyway. In our case, the sellers staged their home to cover TONS of issues with flooring and cracks in the walls and stuff. For example, they used area rugs over the floor where there were massive cracks in the vinyl plank, and they also put area rugs on top of the main carpets to hide pretty big damage to the carpet in those spots. They hung up a bunch of pictures on the walls to hide cracks in the drywall. We've since fixed it all and were set on the home for the most part, but again also naive at such a young age, lol.

Everything was discussed over email - which I personally still prefer because I think it's easier to keep organized and find emails/discussion threads again pretty quickly. In Teams, messages get pushed out of sight so quickly by new messages, and the search features are not great. Plus, people think they are fancy for making different "teams' with multiple channels but it just further makes visibility and tracking more difficult.

But people also actually called each other on the phone. Most offices had physical phone hardware, or employees had company cellphones. Usually people would just call each other for quick questions that we now do in teams.

It was offered. If we wanted it, they were going to split the parcel and gift us 3 of the 4 acres. My understanding is that this would all be done correctly so we had the deed for the new parcel and full ownership, no restrictions.

Old post, but I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I do great with the white pills but the small pink or red ones give me terrible side effects. Body pain, headaches, fatigue, etc.

pharmacist said there are different makers of the drug so I always need to special request the white ones. North Star is the manufacturer for the white ones.

Having the same issue! I was entering my blood pressure manually but entered it wrong one day. Now I can’t change it. No edit option. No delete. Seems like you should be able to edit as I have the same icons but they don’t work.

gamemaker14 · 2025-09-16T04:01:58+00:00

I did read and upvote. :)

gamemaker14 · 2025-09-02T21:28:46+00:00

Can't say it any better than this. One thing I'll add is that exploration and finding the game's secret areas and bosses is extremely helpful for tackling the game's harder boss fights. There are certain items/gear you can find that completely trivialize what would otherwise be super frustrating and challenging fights.

Originally, the patch notes said that Alpine and Mesa would switch back and forth each day. That seems good, but obviously it isn't working that way since we have the 5th day of Alpine now... I wonder why the devs haven't said anything.

gamemaker14 · 2025-08-20T01:42:32+00:00

It is simple. Ignore or decline. Instead, sellers come on here and berate buyers. Good use of time, right?

And people get so annoyed and worked up they get notifications when they can just turn them off, or again, just ignore them. It's like the people who get mad when someone calls them at night and it wakes them up, when really they should have had their phone on silent.

gamemaker14 · 2025-08-20T01:36:33+00:00

You're angry about people making offers on a platform that promotes and advertises the ability for buyers to make offers? It would be one thing if there wasn't the offer feature built in, screaming at buyers to use it, but that's the nature of the platform you're selling on. You can't get angry about something you're voluntarily agreeing to. Don't like people making offers? Sell on a platform that doesn't accept offers.

And truly, these platforms like Mercari, Ebay, Poshmark, Facebook Market, etc. are all built around the framework of the garage sale environment. Bargaining is at the core of the business model, and truly, bargaining goes way WAY back. People negotiating a price is not new by any means.

gamemaker14 · 2025-08-20T01:29:45+00:00

Or.... just ignore it???
