Turning 40 in 2 weeks and I am considering a careers change. Been in various trades for the last 15yrs or so, and currently renovating my century old home. I am trying to get a realistic picture of what this could look like.

- how thorough was your inspector? Did they gloss over things?

-what major issues did they catch that either saved you money or that noped you right out of the purchase?

-what expensive problems showed up shortly after that you feel like should have been caught?

-would you want someone who gives you all the technical details, or more of hear is what can wait and what needs to be fixed sooner than later?

I have been doing the full Reno completely solo room by room. Every board I cut wrong or mistake I make hurts, financially. Every purchase I make is thoughtful, since money is tight. I think I’d truly care about the buyer and helping them understand the risk, or just give them a realistic perspective on what they are dealing with, instead of just checking boxes.

Curious what experiences you all have had, good or bad.

I have grown up with cats and currently have a 8yr domestic void and 5 yr MainCoon. Sometimes when I go to pet the Coon I swear he has a huge smile on his face. I have meantioned this before to people, and they respond “ya my cat smiles sometimes” I don’t think it’s the same level though. Sure I can see when the mini panther is happy as can be, but Boone has almost a human smile. Curious if it’s a breed thing? I have never seen anything like it and of course by the time I try to capture it the moment has passed.

Bought a pair of quiet comfort ultras full price just over a year ago. Had to send them for warranty 2 times. 1st because case failed, 2nd one earbud failed. Soon as warranty ended my 2nd case started to have problems, but I am out of warranty. It charges if I wiggle one bud just right and don’t bump the case. So I deal with this for a a couple months. Recently one of my earbuds fell out on the job, and was promptly run over (my fault). so I jump online and try to find a replacement and guess what? Bose links the earbuds so if one gets lost or damaged you can’t replace it. You have to buy a whole new pair. Cool!

F-YOU BOSE! I will never buy any of your products ever again. For the rest of my life I will discourage everyone and anyone I get the chance too from purchasing your products. $300 and a shit ton of problems In the 1.5yrs I owned these headphones. Go suck a bag of Dicks!

Sorry folks. I am just so God damn tired of getting raked over the coals by corporate America. Rising prices and less quality. It’s happening everywhere and it seems with just about everything. I wasn’t expecting these to last a life time. But for crying out loud, I paid $120 back in 2019 for a pair of j-bird vistas that lasted almost 4yrs. They still work, battery just sucks.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented on my post the other day. I was not prepared for the amount of overwhelmingly postive responses. Coming out of the season I have been in the last couple years, it really meant a lot. Looking forward to possibly running into some of you this summer!

Lived in Bend for 10yrs now and have been into EDM since 2015. I have never really explored the local scene. Where’s the best place to check for shows?
