honest question: how long does it take you to brush paddington? i love the long coat, but it was taking me close to two hours to brush mine.
Although thick, his fur is naturally pretty straight and he actually enjoys a good brushing. We don’t brush him every day, but when we do, it’s usually while we’re hanging on the couch and will do it for about 15-20 minutes or so. He rarely gets matted, which makes things easier with brushing!
Sunset / Western 100%
He had good rotation but the splash was too big. 3/10
I still don’t understand why they’re a huge population of people with cameras in their living room, but I’m glad this guy had one.
I had this issue as well. It started after a software update. The latest .36 that I just got yesterday fixed the issue.
Good to hear! I’ll check for updates
I was in the UK a few weeks ago and learned that when you thank someone for letting you pass on a narrow road (while they’ve pulled over to the shoulder or dirt, etc), the unspoken rule is they have to thank you back for your thank you to them for them letting you pass. (Might have to read this slowly for it to make sense)
I am a Nov 21 R1S preorder holder and I have zero delivery update. So I am really hoping for something; else I may need to look around. Sweet lord give me some signal, any signal!
Pretty much same - Sept 2021 R1S and just really have no clue.

For some agents, it could. Commission does incentivize agents to show properties, but if the home is simply right for someone’s client, it shouldn’t make a big difference.
If the go down, just refinance. If they go up then at least you’re locked in.
Waiving the appraisal has become incredibly common in this market due to how high homes are going for. If you want to be competitive, waive the appraisal. And if your offer is accepted, have your lender Order your appraisal on a RUSH on day 1. The strategy is that the appraisal will be complete before your inspection contingency is up, and although you have no appraisal, you can walk away from the deal via your inspection if the appraisal is catastrophic.
Absolutely Go to the inspection. Let the inspector do his thing, stay out of his way. When his finished, get the verbal update and highlights, ask all the questions you want, have him point things out, and wait for the written report to come. Absolutely go to the inspection.
Thanks! Do inspectors need to have a certification to carry out sewer inspection? Looks like sewer inspection service is not typically offered by inspection companies.
As it’s more of a specialty inspection, you’ll want to find someone who primarily just inspects sewer lines. I don’t know if they need to carry a certification, but they do need the right equipment. What they do is find the “clean out” which is the access point to your sewer line somewhere near the house. They then put what looks like a spindle of cable down the line. This cable has a camera at the end, so they can video record and see everything. They push it all the way through from where the access is to where it meets the city sewer connection. These inspectors definitely know what to look for, and you should watch along while they are viewing it. They typically have a portable monitor with them so you can see the whole thing. Your agent should be able to recommend an inspector who can perform this, but if not, look up some local sewer line inspectors. Sometimes contractors who fix sewer lines also do the inspection, but if you hire someone who actually does the work, make sure they can record the inspection for you so you have a record. Someone who inspects and also performs the work can be a conflict of interest as you may feel they’re telling you something that they need to fix so they get that business too. If you have a copy of the report and a recording, you can shop it around.

You should simply have your agent say to the listing agent, hey, disclosures say there’s a sump pump, inspector says there isn’t one. Was that a mistake or are the sellers putting one in?
It could totally work out just fine, especially in this market. But it could also go wrong and make things uncomfortable for the family. A good solution if you are truly on the fence about using your MIL would be this - tell her you know she is perfectly capable but would prefer to keep family out of the transaction just in case it doesn’t go as planned. Tell her what you’d like her to do is refer the listing to another agent, who you can then research and vet and make sure you like, and that way your MIL gets a referral fee out of it, while someone else has the responsibly. Or, ask her to bring in a co-listing agent. That way she gets the credit and can split the commission with another agent who can really take the reigns and be a middle man.
I just recently paid $950 for day time, twilight, daytime drone and twilight drone for a listing. Photos were fantastic, ended up with 60ish to chose from. They were all sent back to me the next day edited and touched up. Not the cheapest, but great photography makes all the difference.
There’s a section on the purchase agreement about when the buyer will take possession. There’s a box you can check in that sections that states the seller will remain in possession after the close of escrow. Checking that box usually triggers the SIP (seller in possession addendum) to be added to the document automatically. On the SIP, it outlines the terms of that short lease. Simply put, you will become a landlord for a short time, and it delegates costs (what are they paying you for staying in the home (if anything), who is responsible for utilities, maintenance, gardener, etc.) it’s definitely worth getting the SIP on the table sooner rather than later so both you and the seller know what they are agreeing to. If the lease back is longer than 30 days, you’ll use a residential month to month agreement instead.
