  • I agree, we had the option to sue the seller but the reality is, even if we spend a ton of money to take him to court, there’s no guaranteed payment at the end. We decided to focus on fixing the problem rather than try to get compensation from them.

    There is absolutely no system in place to protect people from something like this. The inspector didn’t find it, the realty attorneys didn’t find it, the realtors didn’t find it. We only found out about it when pulling a permit for a deck.


  • The timeframe all depends on the house. Over the last 30 years, we’ve bought three homes. The first one was an absolute breeze and never caused us heartache. The second one, was a bit of a troublemaker but we just worked our way from room to room, rehabbing the entire house a little bit at a time.

    This last one has been a nightmare for the 4 years we’ve owned it. We’ve blown through our savings and still don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Without going into needless detail, on top of a qualified home inspector, I would suggest going to the city/county permitting office to make sure permits were pulled for anything that’s been recently done. In our case, the the biggest issue with this property was that apartment over garage was done illegally and we had to completely gut and start over. Unfortunately, the entire reason we picked this house was for that apartment as it was for our daughter to live in.

    My intention isn’t to scare you but just be sure to perform due diligence and don’t be afraid to further investigate potential issues.

    Without context, the image isn’t that impressive. If nothing XP-related actually works and it’s just a display exercise, it’s just a 20-something year old skin import.

    If absolutely everything works in the manner XP worked, then it’s incredibly impressive.










  • I prefer Musk over Trump.

    I don’t care for either person. Musk’s history, like suing the actual founders of Tesla so he could call himself the founder, calling someone trying to rescue children a pedophile, making a fake tunneling company to halt public transport progress in the area, all of his childish antics like canceling Tesla orders of people he doesn’t like, his retweets of batshit crazy conspiracies … etc ad naseum; unfortunately the list of reasons he’s a distasteful individual goes on and on.

    Regarding his politics, I have no input as it’s a topic I don’t follow but I do believe persons that rich hold money and power over any alliance to a partisan group.
