House buying/owning advice

[Tobias]

advice:  If you think you are going to do a bunch of work on stuff, you won't after you get your couch and TV deployed.

Finally closing this Friday at 9am.  I have spent the better part of each one of my nights watering new sod on a 15,000 square foot lot.  It absolutely sucks.

how long does it take you to turn on the sprinkler system?

Dr. Blumpkin are you a blumpkin doctor in New Orleans? Because you must be a gabillionaire.


Don't ever move here, you'll prolly never have a dece. yard.

SB, house stilts!

Definitely helps in some areas, doesn't matter in other areas. The flood zones here as they apply to insurance rates aren't always what you might expect. It's a weird place to live. But yeah, it definitely hurts SB's heart to know that as long as long as I live here, I'll never have a kewl Cat Cave basement with a potential walkout like SD.

knowing I can't get a basement is very, very tough.

mine is an enormous swampy junge. It's 95 and windy today so I didn't think it was a good idea to shut down the sprinklers for 24-48 hours to let it dry enough to mow for the first time.

So, it turns out that one of the bedrooms in our new home (which is 27 years old) is not connected to the HVAC system.  There's a vent there, duct work in the walls, but they never bothered to connect it to the main line.

So, they're going to find a way to rig it through my attic to save money and not rip my walls apart, but somehow that was not addressed in nearly 30 years.

Mind boggling.

yes to this. I don't care what the contract you signed with that inspector. You should get a full refund. "Reasonable and acceptable something something. " lawyers, help me out here.


Gonna win 'em all!

That's unforgivable.  Also pretty sketchy of the seller not to disclose that.

I had a reputable guy tell me that ks has a law that would allow you to collect damages from the builder in sitches where the work was never built to code.

this is correct, and not just in Kansas.   BUT you are limited to a statute of limitations as to when a resonable person might have discovered the problem, and likely just the original occupant.

[slobber]

Your inspector is not off the hook. If you haven't notified him or your attorney, then I don't know what you have been doing for the past 24 hours, but it had better have been PRETTY DAMNED IMPORTANT!

Just met with our banker and we have been pre-approved to buy a house up to eleventy trillion.

Also, check code requirements in your municipality regarding air supply/return.  I would assume that to represent and sell something as having x  many bedrooms, that all bedrooms would need to have supply and return air.  Since yours doesn't, assuming the above, the owner you bought from may be liable for misrepresented the house and could be liable for the costs to meet air requirements.

Wishing I would have upgraded to a sprinkler system instead of the "classic" watering approach I took.  The lawn looks fricking awesome now.

I hear you SD.  I am drying mine out now after two weeks of solid watering.  I will water it lightly the next week and mow after the end of the third week.  I am debating waiting till the one month mark, but I have no clue what I am doing so it will probably be after the three week mark.

take the money but don't buy a house.  move into the rent controlled apartments near fanman in the river market and invest the living crap out of the rest.

I wish.  I am stuck in Ames freaking Iowa.  I am now the proud owner of 15,000 square foot yard in the land of floods and mold.  Iowa State fans are the absolute worst.  I am the only KSU fan in the neighborhood.

It's all behind the walls, though.  I'm not sure if there's much I can do in that regard.

Of course, I have no idea what I'm doing here.
