Hardwood floor refinishing recs

Hi there!

I am looking at homes in RO / Berkley area and will probably need the hardwood floors redone before moving in.

Any good recommendations out there and a general price per sq ft?

TIA!

Larson storm door handle dropping down

Does anyone know a trick to keep the storm door handle from dropping down?

I replaced the original handle because it was installed wrong by Lowe's.

6 months later the new one is doing the same thing. Followed the instructions and all was great for 6 months.

I am extremely versatile in replacing door handles / knobs / deadbolts and hinges.

This one has me a bit perplexed.

TIA!

Down payment on new home, while selling existing home.

Have a slightly dumb question / need advice. I will be listing my house in August, it's a work timing thing, crazy workload in the spring.

I have been doing some minor Zillow stalking and hitting up open houses. While I am not ready to pull the trigger and put an offer in, I still need to apply for a new mortgage, July is the target for that and I don't see any issues getting the loan.

Here's the question, what if I find the perfect house and my house is up for sale / in pending mode and the closing dates don't coincide? As in I am closing on the new house say a week before I close on my existing house.

I am going to need a down payment, do I pull from my 401K for a quick short term loan? And then put the money back in as soon as I get the proceeds from the sale?

I know there will be a bit of interest I will need to pay. But, that would be less than a bridge loan. And potentially less than staying in my house if I were to delay closing on the new house, and moving from my current house.

Thanks in advance for anyone who has done this!

I decided to switch loan services over the winter, for a few reasons:

  1. MOHELA was taking my payments and not posting in a timely manner.

  2. Customer service was awful.

  3. I was able to get a lower interest rate, by 2%.

I was paying an extra $75 a month and it wasn't making a dent on my balance.

Anyhow, I made my last payment to MOHELA in December, during the loan switch over MOHELA never posted the payment. So they owe me money, I have tried sitting on the phone for 3 hours only to get disconnected.

Has anyone gotten their money back from them?
