Joy: We are getting a dumpster tomorrow so anything we aren't taking we can go and junk!
Sorrow: I'm anxious for the movers because I'm worried they are gonna make a mess of my room.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy: Had a great time this afternoon with my Elite Dangerous player group. Eight or nine of us showed up and we broke off into groups for some coordinated combat. One of the senior members was kind enough to show me the ropes since I'm new to the group, and once we all found our rhythm is was a lot of fun. This game is the best because I'm always meeting new people, which I've missed during this pandemic.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Sorrow: We thought that this house wasn't gonna give us any problems but it looks like this house actually is just as bad, if not WORSE than the other house we wanted and there are so many things we have to deal with (which is why I was away for a week since I was trying to acclimate). One refrigerator is completely dead and the other leaks, the deck is rotted, some of the outlets in the house don't work and to top ot all off and this is what aggravates me the most, the bifold door for my closet in my room is broken. -_-

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Sorry to hear about al that, Dayzee, that really sucks. Do you know if they divulged any of that when the previous owners were selling the house?
Good luck, Sleet.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Nope they didn't and the only thing that the home inspector said was that the refrigerator needed to have the ice maker connected and NOT that the refrigerator was completely dead.
Re: Joys And Sorrows
If you do not have a lawyer, your folks need one now! I smell a lot of potential "failure to disclose" on behalf of the agent, the inspector, and the sellers going just on what you've said. Now there are always two sides to these things but it certainly sounds like you need some solid legal counsel (and not just a sympathetic geezer venting on a fansite!).Amazee Dayzee wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 1:39 am Nope they didn't and the only thing that the home inspector said was that the refrigerator needed to have the ice maker connected and NOT that the refrigerator was completely dead.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
I agree with Weston. Make sure you have all the documentation, so the attorneys can check through them.

My father said he is going to get in touch with someone and see what we can do since everything is going 1000 miles a minute and we haven't gotten a chance to catch our breath yet.

Good. Glad your dad's getting in touch with someone, though I'm sorry this is happening at all.

Don't blame you, Dayzee. Moving can be stressful enough, without having to worry about stuff like this.

Exactly, trek! Moving into a new house should not turn into a Micheal Myers movie featuring "the catastrophe of the day" everyday.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy: We found out what was wrong with the outlets that weren't working for some reason and it was an easy fix. Turns out one of the wall-switches turns the outlet on. Why the house is set up like this I have no clue.
But we still have to deal with refrigerator 1 being broken (the inspector who came over while we were trying to clean up the old house said that the compressor is gone), refrigerator 2 is leaking, a rotted deck and the bifold closet door in my room still needs to somehow be put back on the track.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
My parents’ house is set up like that. Is your current house pretty old? It might be a feature of older houses. Make sure you document all your expenses when fixing this stuff.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
How did the sellers and their agent not know about the fridges? What did the inspector inspect?

They told us that it was the ice machine that wasn't working and it had to be hooked up. That was the only thing that was said. The FIRST night we found out it wasn't getting cold and that was the reason.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
I am pretty sure the former owners just didn't want to deal with it and decided to let the next people that moved in (us) deal with it.
Re: Joys And Sorrows
Well ... and I don't want to be a boor ... a lawyer might see that differently. You may have a misrepresentation here (that the fridge was, at least by implicaton, working) and, at least, "Sheesh-what-a-bunch-of-jerks!" But I'm not a lawyer and I don't play one on this forum.....Amazee Dayzee wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 11:06 am I am pretty sure the former owners just didn't want to deal with it and decided to let the next people that moved in (us) deal with it.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Some cautiously optimistic joy: There is a very, very, very, very, very small and slight chance that my mom and my aunt's friend might end uo buying the old house which means we don't have to give it away to a stranger who buys it completely and we can still go there and visit.
Re: Joys And Sorrows
Hope that comes to pass, Amazz. Gosh, it's hot today (pardon the diversion.)

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Yeah pretty sure its not coming to pass. Mostly because of my loser uncle who mooched off my grandmother for the last 11 years of her life is outraged that we are selling the house and thinks his sisters (my mother and my two aunts) are getting something that he is not. My mother and my aunt keep on saying that he might do something to the house in his drunken rage because the only thing he does is drink and go from job to job (quitting, not getting fired either) and when he is drunk it is a category 5 hurricane.

Joy: Looks like I spoke too soon. My aunt tends to be an alarmist and a Debbie Downer about these sort of things. She jumped to the worst case scenario. Said friend is STILL interested in buying the house.
Sorrow: My grandfather, the only living one I have left who lives in an assistant living home in Vermont close to the Canadian border broke his hip and needs surgery. He's in his 80s. Going into surgery in two days. During the coronavirus pandemic.
I do not need to lose a third grandparent. Especially since 5 months ago I lost my grandmother.
