They gave us a 6-9 month completion timeline. They’ve missed the tentative drywall inspection date and it’s been pushed back two weeks.
Just got me thinking about their timeline estimates and how accurate they are. How long from signing the contract to getting the keys for you?
I’ve got a starting prescription in my fridge for 2.5mg Zepbound that’s just sitting there. I’m severely obese (300lbs at 5’6”) but luckily labwork and blood pressure are all normal. No gallbladder though.
I’m worried that this is going to lower my blood pressure too much and I’ll end up fainting etc. or something at work or get dizzy while driving. I’m just nervous something severe will happen. I know everyone says to drink water and add electrolytes but I don’t want to constantly be chugging all this. I’d like to eat a few small meals a day and hopefully continue to live fairly normal.
Anyone else initially feel this way? How did you combat your fears?
I’m 5’6” and 300lbs. Lots of weight everywhere. I’m taking my kids to the park this weekend but I’m starting to panic about not being able to get through turnstiles (do we go through those with lightning lane?) or ride next to them on rides. They’re 4 and under so we’re planning on a lot of the Fantasyland or Toon Town stuff. They’ve also mentioned wanting Web slingers, Radiator Springs racers, Toy Story Midway Mania and tea cups, Nemo submarine, Mr Toad etc.
I’ve tried to search online but there are some mixed reactions about being able to fit next to your kids and something about a seatbelt hack?
What are rides I could easily do next to my kid without having to do the walk of shame? I’d feel awful if we couldn’t ride because I’m too fat for it.
We’re planning to take a last minute trip to Disneyland in California this month 8/14 to 8/16 to take our 3 year old for the first time. We were looking at park hopper tickets for two days and maybe the Pixar hotel.
I saw we need tickets and a reservation to go to the park? What if we buy tickets and don’t get a reservation? Do we need lightning lane passes? What is Genie+ usual for? Can I walk from the Pixar hotel to Disneyland? How do character meet and greets work?
Any other helpful info? I’m also fat so will most rides fit super plus size?
I don’t even know where to start.
Had the mop pad issues. Contacted Mova and they said they’d send a replacement. The refurbished replacement makes a grinding noise when rolling forward. Any one else have this issue? At this point I just want a full refund but Mova refuses to do so.
Just moved into an a patio home. The small backyard has artificial turf and pavers. My dog is 16 and moves slow. For the first time ever I saw the old man lifting his paws up and speed walking to the door when he went out to go potty. Refuses to put on booties and won’t walk in them.
What are some renter friendly ideas to keep his paws safe and cool? I thought about a rug but those still get warm also. I also bought a hose to spray everything down before he goes out as well.
Looking for any ideas to help him out. Thanks!
About to close in a week on a house we’re selling. Buyers have asked that we patch and paint any holes related to removing an extra large mirror hanging on our wall and a security panel we’re taking with us. That’s all that was called out in our signed contract.
However, we obviously have nails, screws and some anchors from heavier items or items we secured to the wall (example: weird photo attached of the corner gallery wall we used to have) in other living spaces not specifically called out in the contract.
My wife says we don’t have to do anything with the additional stuff like this in the walls. I say we should remove them all and patch.
What’s the standard here? AZ contract
Final decision: we did end up patching and painting MOST but not all.
Buying a two story new build and the builder offers an insulated garage as an upgrade. Does anyone have one and can share your experience? Does it keep the garage and floor above it cooler?
We have a V50 and whenever it mops it stinks. I’ve changed the mop pads and cleaned the fresh water tank but it’s making my whole house smell.
What’s the best way to stop it from smelling?
Bought the Dino slide. We have an almost 4 year old and this thing launches the kid.
Anyone have ideas to slow it down a bit? I saw the older crocodile one and it looks like that one has an extra inflatable piece at the bottom of the slide. Really don’t want to have to haul this thing back to return it.
My job made us all get Red Wing steel toe shoes for a site visit. They’ve only been worn once and won’t need them again so I’d like to sell them. They’re a size 8 so a bit small in men’s and I’m having trouble on the 3rd party sites. Any ideas where I might get more traffic?
I think I want to switch my monitored system to ring but am confused by all the choices. I see I need a ring subscription and a monitoring subscription. If I want a monitored system and 24/7 playback do I just pay the $20/month monitoring fee plus $3 per camera?
Phoenix area. House was initially listed at $820k. Dropped to $800k after two weeks. Has been on market now 30 days. Received an offer for $800k with $10k seller credit. We buy 3% to buyer agent and buy them a home warranty plus a few personal items they want.
We are buying a new build and need to get under contract by mid August or builder cancels our contract and this deal has no contingencies which is nice.
Our realtor says this is a good deal. I think we should counter and ask them to split the difference so we give $5k credit. My wife is worried the buyers will walk. Would love a second opinion.
16, neutered male, (Belgian?) shepherd mix. He’s on various pain medications like Gabapentin and Galliprant.
He has an ear tumor right inside his ear that has been growing rapidly and we, and the vet, assume it’s malignant although never confirmed. It has bled twice today but usually doesn’t.
He does seem to have pain when laying down mainly but will still get up when he hears the fridge or go outside to potty and sniff around. His back legs definitely kind of squat down some. He is eating and drinking regularly. He has started to eat poop though if we don’t pick it up quick enough.
I’m confused at when is the right time. He’s still eating and drinking normally but do I just randomly decide the pain in his legs is too much? That his ear is too uncomfortable? I don’t know how I’m supposed to know in that sense.
Have an offer from buyers who seem a little “wishy-washy”. I’m nervous if we accept that they’ll change their mind or back out even at the last minute because they’ve been so back and forth. We’ve had no other offers after 25 days on the market. We need a solid contract because we’re buying a new build and have a limited time to sell.
What are some things to include in a counteroffer to ensure we get them to be more certain?
I know this can vary but before the markets went crazy, how much would a person reasonably expect their home to appreciate each year? We’re in Phoenix if anyone wants specifics.
Trying to sell our home we paid $710,000 for in December 2021. Debating an offer for $770k and seems like $60k is low over 4.5 years but these few crazy years have skewed things.
85083 zip code. Listed our house initially at $819,900 and only had 1 showing. Dropped the price 9 days later to $799,900 where it’s been. We’re on market 25 days. We’ve had 4 showings since we price dropped and 1 open house. No written offers but a verbal 5 days ago to see if we’d even consider $770k. We told them to submit an offer and they haven’t yet. They did come back by to look at the exterior of our house yesterday (driveway camera caught them).
Should we wait and see if anything happens with these buyers and hold the $799k price to leave negotiating room? Or drop the price and see if we get more offers?
16, neutered male, dog. No known issues other than old age. On Apoquel, Gabapentin, Dasuquin, Galliprant.
Dogs got into a fight over some food dropped on the ground. Mostly bark but our old guy got his ear scraped by teeth pretty good. No puncture. It did bleed a little. Rinsed with saline. Put some mupirocin on it.
Is there anything else to do until my vet opens and I can call? Is that a waste of time calling for this?
As the title says, what are some ways to know you’re signing with a good listing agent?
Been on the market 13 days and only 1 showing. Realtor said we could test the market high so we went $819k live over memorial weekend. 1 showing at that price. Suggested we get under $800k so we dropped $20k after a week, still no interest. Realtor plans to get on a broker tour this week.
