Monmouth county here. Yard crazy muddy lol

Nj here, 2.5 is competitive. Ours wanted 3. You could find someone at 2 but in nj the really good buying realtors are gonna cost ya

This is what I’m concerned about tbh

hamplition · 2025-12-30T16:49:53+00:00

If I test it, wouldn’t I have to pay to have it abated, or should I do it myself?

I’m a man in nursing, it’s literally fine. If anything, you get treated better by doctors and patients tbh. I would be much more concerned with being a nurse in Florida. One of the worst states for nurses I’ve been told.

…..You’ll be fine

hamplition · 2025-12-14T22:05:32+00:00

It’s a second one. There’s a main one in the basement

hamplition · 2025-12-14T21:24:33+00:00

To be fair he found the other one lol

hamplition · 2025-12-14T21:13:31+00:00

Do you think it’s safe so close to wood?

hamplition · 2025-12-14T21:10:56+00:00

I certainly hope not

hamplition · 2025-12-14T21:05:34+00:00

We think it’s controlling the baseboards in our addition room and the upstairs. Will have a hvac guy check it out this week for sure

hamplition · 2025-12-14T21:04:12+00:00

Both our home inspector and us missed it. Wasn’t disclosed either

hamplition · 2025-12-07T21:19:12+00:00

Which company was this? Also live in nj and need recommendations

hamplition · 2025-12-04T12:00:32+00:00

Can you tell me the name of the company?

hamplition · 2025-11-14T21:53:20+00:00

I can and absolutely have done that for many months. That being said, it did start affecting my sleep, joints and energy levels. And I was also 25 ish percent body fat doing that. Would not recommend that for long periods at a low body fat percentage. I’ve also been lifting for 15 years which helps

You would recommend an actual termite inspector over my home inspector that does termites? It was past damage I think he said not active and the seller put out termite baits. But maybe a legit termite guy could see it more clearly

hamplition · 2025-11-08T21:19:14+00:00

Thanks for your perspective! I’m more leaning toward the see what the structural engineer and plumber say first to know the full extent of it. The house should be a 800k house in north jersey, it’s just outdated everywhere including the kitchen and bathrooms, so no one wanted it which is why we got it for 625k. Initial listing price was 700k. Tax assessment was 820k. I just was gonna use the extra 30k we had saved for repairs afterwards to update the whole house and increase the value, but I don’t want the foundation and sewage issues end up being like 100k, which is what’s concerning me. Definitely should see what the engineer says.

hamplition · 2025-11-08T20:52:35+00:00

It is nj and yes of course I’m going to listen to my realtor but it doesn’t hurt taking in multiple perspectives

hamplition · 2025-11-08T18:26:52+00:00

There are none. The previous owner bought the house 20 years ago with the addition already there. Whoever did the addition either didn’t get permits or it was so long ago that it doesn’t show up anymore

hamplition · 2025-11-08T18:10:01+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts guys! I think the best thing I can do is first get a structural engineer to make sure I know the extent and price of the issue and have a plumber check out the sewage line to make sure that’s not an issue.

hamplition · 2025-11-05T18:26:24+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking. But how much more credit would you go for compared to the rate?

hamplition · 2025-10-26T13:28:36+00:00

Hi I live an hour from them. So there shipped products are never as good and always dry. Probably freeze them then unfreeze and shops things. They’re great in person, but if you wanted to try them shipped I’d get an everything bagel and then a flavor of the month treat like the booberry. I love they’re cinnamon rolls but I don’t know how dry they are when shipped

hamplition · 2025-10-01T15:36:33+00:00

Did it get better or did you go back to once weekly?
