We got lucky, but if you wait longer there's a good chance you'll be out of luck. Same goes -- even more so -- for any shows you want to see. DO IT. DO IT NOW. You certainly need to to try Herbs and Rye. Just make reservation from 5-7 so you can get happy hour half price deals.

How long do you plan to stay and do you think the new jobs will stay for longer than that? Yes. It is a solid sellers market. There are currently approximately 3 buyers for every home on the market. We've seen over a dozen homes hit the market and sell before we can even set up a time to view them. We're looking for a home to stay in long term as neither of our jobs will cause us to relocate and most of these jobs are almost certainly permanent.

I moved this spring and got 30% over asking in a 5 way bidding war. Demand for starter homes is insane right now, driven by a lack of any being built for the last 30 years.

The check engine light on my accord is flashing when I go over 3500 RPM. I'm worried and I can get the code to post on my lovely OBD 2 reader. I just put some money into it replacing a caliper too because I didn't want to have to bleed it myself and didn't really have the time. I think it might be on its last legs? What's the best civic to get with a budget of $5k

I replaced the plugs and wires to get it to pass emissions and the misfire codes went away but they just came back and it has me concerned.

In that case, it seems like you should buy a house soon as they'll only continue to appreciate and it sounds like you're in a position to buy. Maybe even push your envelope a little bit to get something nicer depending on how hot your market is. fridge corn posted:Ive got a whole month lol Any trips you've ever really wanted to take?

Maybe even push your envelope a little bit to get something nicer depending on how hot your market is. That's why we accelerated our plans to buy. Every indicator says it's just going to get worse. But I'm really getting discouraged by what's available. We looked at a really solid house today. Everything in the listing was great and we opened the door and the loving cigarette smoke punched me in the goddamned face. The house was totally ruined because you could not escape the odor and having worked briefly in rentals and having a wife in that industry for 5 years, we know it's impossible to get the smell out. We also looked at an older home with so much character but it was just too small and not adaptable to our needs. We have one more on our radar for this week but it's been on the market too long so it probably has a million problems.

Does ozone not work for getting the smell out? Like you'd need to spend a few hundred on a beefy ozone generator and spend a weekend elsewhere but it should work right?

Bajaha posted:Does ozone not work for getting the smell out? Like you'd need to spend a few hundred on a beefy ozone generator and spend a weekend elsewhere but it should work right? Not at this level. Trying to strip 10 years of smoke out of every room of a house is very difficult. Stanley Steamer (dunno if that's a nationwide brand) can't guarantee they can remove the smell and they want 4-6 days for their equipment to run the treatment. And you have to replace the carpeting, there's no way to get the stink out. I know people will say they have done so but I've worked two cleanups and it's pointless if you have an actual sense of smell. I'm really worried that the third house on our list this week is a smoker home because it should have sold already.

I bought a house that was smoked in by the previous owners from the late 60s through the late 2000s. Didn't completely get rid of the smell until we sanded the (previously carpet covered) hardwood floors and refinished them, on top of re-drywalling about 75% of the upstairs and painting over the rest with sealing primer. Never again

Applebees Appetizer posted:Or doctors who get kickbacks from from pharmaceutical companies recommend meds that are not necessarily great for patients either. My gastro doc was pushing Humira on me so hard I swear they offered him a new Mercedes or something, thank god I didn't go that route. I used to work for a company that hosts documents for large legal cases, and when I was there class actions against drug manufacturers were big (probably still are). The sales database for a large drug manufacturer was produced, and the range of bribes doctors needed was amazing. One guy had notes saying he wanted ski weekends in order to start pushing drugs, another doctor just needed to be brought a box of see's candies (no poo poo). Wisely the manufacturers went from free form text entry databases to only letting the sales people choose from predefined choices, to make sure when the database inevitably got produced, there wouldn't be anything bad in there. Darchangel posted:Pretty much that. CEL will flash when you are doing damage to the emissions control system, as opposed to just something not working.

The house I bought hadn’t been updated since 1998 and the guy who did their renovations was a complete DI-WHY?!?!’er and it’s been annoying as gently caress to fix his dumbass poo poo That being said we’ve only spent around $60,000 on stuff and the house has since grown $110,000 in value so

Housing most certainly reverses and when it does it reverses hard. Also houses are not assets. They are correctly notes as liabilities. They are being treated as wealth stores when ooooh boy that shouldnt be the case at all. Sydney is reversing now but that's mostly due to the truly "Are you got to be loving kidding me?" prices for more than a cardboard box. The more it reverses, the more underwater families are getting and those mortgages dont pay for themselves. When the bubble pops with any interest rate hikes it's going to be ugly for a lot of people.

I think he was being cheeky, CT. Looks like it's time to sell my house in Florida, I can't see it being worth any more than it is right now. Of course I bought it 3 seconds before the 08 bubble so I way overpaid. If I get what I paid for it plus what I put into it I'll be happy with that. Cross my fingers for a bidding war I guess.
