If a "Bedroom" houses uncovered furnace mechanicals......Can it be counted as a bedroom?

Actually have a situation that I haven't had before! House is being renovated and expanded but a current "bedroom" now houses open/uncovered furnace and mechanicals.

Obviously, functionality is greatly impacted - but can it actually be counted as a bedroom? (It does have a closet, legal window, and all dimensions are in line with bedroom).

For appraisers who are seriously considering a career change, what jobs are you considering?

Certified Residential for over 22 years and I am so done with the bullshit. I'm also seeing the writing on the wall that I can't bank on this job sustaining me for another 25 years. What are some options that are looking attractive and feasible to you?

Two men knocked on my door at 9pm with emergency vests on.

Door to Door Sales. I was not nice. What can we do about this? It is honestly unsettling.

ETA: I already have a 'No soliciting' sign on my door. It is massive and directly in your face. They ignore it.

Two Birthday Parties

My middle schooler son has a friend with divorced parents and I got two invitations to separate parties for their kid that are two weeks apart. One party hosted by mom and one party hosted by Dad. Weird but whatever.

I am a single mom/widow on a tight budget. I sent a gamestop giftcard to the first party but am I expected to bring a second gift to the second party? Both parties are at event centers and will cost per guest so I would feel weird sending my kid empty handed..... but I also don't feel like further lavishing on this Augustus/Veruca Salt kid.

Thoughts?

Advice?

"Zero Proof Spirits" ? GTFO..

Who the hell was stupid enough to invest in this ludicrous idea? "All the burn with zero alcohol".....wtf?? No one drinks booze for the burning sensation! Like candy cigarettes that aren't even candy. Performative bullshit.

Do you think Eugene Pride is safe to take kids?

I want to go but I'm feeling major anxiety about the PD threats and Trump emboldened hate squads.

Plywood Shack needs to be razed - Client wants "Subject To".

DIY nightmare of a house. Exterior walls knocked down and plywood nightmare "additions" put on. Roof is gone, decking is failing, mold, severe structural damages and issues from additions and DIY "repairs", exposed wiring, subfloors are like a fun house.. no appliances.... on and on and on. Talked to the inspector and he agrees and said it is a "bulldozer special" and couldn't even inspect the crawl space fully because foundation is a death trap.

AMC is bullying the hell out of me because I stated that it is not financially feasible to repair the dwelling and highest and best use is vacant land. QC manager doesn't want to take no for answer.

What's the best "professional" way to deal with this?

Massage Therapists

If a massage therapist is a "licensed healthcare professional" then why do they receive tips?

Nurses bust their asses, too but no one tips them...?

Do realtors just enjoy lying and being mean girls?

Was told by listing agent that repairs were completed and that I was good to go for the final inspection.

I drove 30 miles each way and repairs are incomplete!!

So I burned a huge hunk of my day and lots of gas because realtors hate appraisers. I have been in this business for over 23 years and yeah, this shit is intentional.

Any read the AQB proposed changes for qualification criteria and think it is absolute horse shit??

Am I reading this right that supervisors are "gone" and an applicant only has to submit 3 appraisals that they "pinky swear" they did themselves and then they get handed a license???

What do you call space below the roofline that cannot be considered actual "attic" space.

Accessed via tiny opening and small - more like a crawl space and not a proper "attic".

Expand their minds without breaking their spirits

I'm a mom to middle school aged, american kids who are being raised in a very socially forward, middle class area. I'm looking for some good movies or documentaries that will help expand their minds and world view outside their comfort zone but don't want to scar them or crush their innocence.

Suggestions?

So I would be held financially/criminally responsible if I let my dog run around the neighborhood killing animals..... but cat owners are allowed to let their murder machines kill everything in sight???

Seriously, make it make sense.
