Didn’t think about seeing how everything holds up during all the seasons. Windows and AC are only a few years old but the furnace is closer to end of life than new. Guess we will see how it goes this winter. I’m sure there will be a lot more to consider that I don’t even know about yet.
The first house our offer was accepted on had a large tree (the biggest tree I ever saw IRL besides some state parks) and had a credit to get it removed. 3 days after our offer was accepted a big storm came through and a branch fell, destroying the roof on the back half. We went through with the inspection because they told us insurance was replacing it, but we walked into a house with water going from the roof to the basement. There was even water pooling in the breaker box. We mentioned everything we found to them and they just said “well our neighbor is the contractor and he can do the roof and some of the walls. If you guys want to talk to insurance or find another contractor that’s fine”. We backed out after that.
Edit: There were multiple broken struts in the roof and they “didn’t know about” and said the neighbor could fix them. We looked up the neighbor and he’s just some guy with an LLC doing handy work. Nothing against that but when it comes to structural work, I would want an artitect or engineer to take a look, not some handyman who can “fix it” while missing a lot of the damage our inspector found.
Your latest house is pretty much what I am expecting as a FTHB. Permits have been my main concern after some quick searches. There’s not a lot of updates made in recent years to the place that would require them, but who knows what was done that wasn’t visible during inspection. I know it should be ok, but I never had to deal with this before so it’s just another thing added to the list.
This one is about 90…oh no
My grandpa was a painter for 45 years and already was asking us what we want to do. Guess we need to figure that out faster
Is there a good 2nd hand market beside FB now? We are buying our first house and will be needing some stuff once we move in. My account is long gone and my wife’s is deactivated, close to closing it out. We have some good antique and thrifts around us, but my SIL gets killer deals on FB market.
Late response now that I have some more money to work with but thanks! Tbh most of my tools are harbor freight and I don’t think I need anything else for my usecase. Grandpa bought a dewalt set as he’s tearing his deck down to build a pavilion. He told me to stop buying stuff and handed me a 70s craftsman tool box filled with most stuff I need and said to just use his power tools

Everyone is 1 of the 10000. Even the people who have to look up what being 1 of the 10000 means
Damn I remember that one now!
OK who gave Luigi a flower?
I need to know if there are hot single moms in my area!
The Blue/Green tick thing has winded down in my own personal sphere. My wife’s family has a group chat where I was the only android user and would get dunked on when I replied. I just asked to be removed so they wouldn’t have to deal with SMS/MMS bullshit. Now that RCS is on everything it doesn’t matter. Ive been trying to get them to use Signal for the last few years but no one wants another app that isn’t their default messaging app.
On the second part, yeah thats true. If Apple does anything right it’s making “things work” for the average user, and I am sure we all know what the average user can do now. Any concerns I bring up with iOS is met with “but you work in IT and understand that stuff” which is hard to argue with when people just want something to work without troubleshooting and exploring options.
I was in a mosh pit for the first time in 7 years last year. I got fucking destroyed and was sore for about 2 weeks. I also slipped walking my dog during a big snow we had a few weeks ago and took me a little bit longer to get up than I used too. I am not old by any means and working on getting back in shape, but its starting :(
Not me, but my dad and his gf were at a headshop to get a new bowl/slide for their bong. They texted me and my wife to see “what the kids were calling them now a days” after a guess or two I said slide. They then went on a tangent how the people had no idea what they meant and kept trying to sell them a downstem lol. A few younger guys at my last job gave me shit for calling a banger a nail. Weed lingo sucks lol
Cool never looked into apt pinning but seems pretty interesting.
Looking at what I install as self contained packages vs requiring dependencies made this a lot more clear. Thanks!
Thats what I will be working on today. Read a little bit about it before imaging so I already got btrfs partitions set up. Thanks for reminding me I did that for a reason lol
If they are static, they’ll probably be like this:
AM…AMerica
Yeah was expecting it to suck ass. Two of my cousins bought houses around 2022 and I helped with some of the work at their places when they first moved in, so I knew nothing would be perfect and got an idea of what we could do ourselves/with a little help.
But yeah I happen to know a couple who had rainbows and birds deliver their keys. My SIL’s SIL (there has to be a word for that) married a trust fund kid who’s dad owns a car dealership. The dad was buying a house in a newly developed area, and decided to buy the house next to his and gift it. They have not been a good source for advice.
