If you don't know your stuff or have someone else who is on it those contractors will take you for suckas just like mechanics
Basements are a good place for trial and error to do things yourself sometimes.
Out of 10 folks they probably got 1 or 2 suckas. Don't let it be you.

About to get the ring pro doorbell from home depot. On sale for $190, regular $250. Anything I should know before installing?
I always pull the wiring diagram/instruction booklet before buying things like that. Was looking into cameras before settling on Arlo.
Our brackets came so we'll be building a pergola over the deck in a few weeks. Ordered some tile pavers to do a walkway so doing a bunch of ground prep. The week of 6/29 is the goal to be done with mostly everything but planting.

“When you go from a $3 million apartment to a $3 million home, you triple or quadruple your space,” Otteau said. “You really don’t care if the mayor shuts down the beaches, or the mayor shuts down the parks, because you’ve got all that in your backyard.”

I submitted an offer for a client on Friday that was $27k over list, as-is, and didn’t get it
Depending on location, being able to get anything somewhat decent should be looked at as a big win.

I was nervous my first two offers, but not this one. Maybe because I didn't expect the turnaround to be so fast. Either way, thanks.

I don't make enough money to get a house for just myself unless I move way out west of the area (Northern VA). And I don't think I'm prepared to maintain a house either.

Sometimes I wish I got a condo or townhouse.
What’s preventing HOA fees from going way up in a townhouse. Like say you pay 400 can they double them to 800? That’s what scares me.

I know but I want to buy another house down south or Vegas with mn if I left I’d need to hire someone to shovel, rake baby sit the house and make sure the furnace is on and the pipes aren’t freezing and bursting.
that way when I get laid off in dec I can just load up my car, lock the door and roll.

like it’s cool here in the summer but mad depressing in the winter plus I don’t work in the winter so I might as well just leave.
but in the summer I make more than id make in two years working the whole year in Texas or something
so basically the jobs pay well but the winter is trash.
plus my wife doesn’t want to leave for good, and I like the company I work for.
