When you bought your first house, was it a nightmare? What rights does a person have?
recently a friend of mine purchased a house, this house was sold to them as nothing being wrong in their disclosure papers, once my friend finally got to move in, about 3-4 weeks they started hearing gurgling sounds from the plumbing, so called a plumber and he installed a breather , and a johnny ring, this was not the problem, my friend was in the shower and noticed the water wasnt draining from the tub, so they called the plumber again, which said they needed to snake it, which that plumbers snake was broke so they had to call another plumber, which did figure out that the plumbing inside the house wasnt the problem, the problem was outside in the yard, once he snaked it out and it broke his snake , so my friends contact the people thye bought it from and found out that he his self was the one that put all the new plumbing in, so he dug up the back yard to find that his plumbing that he laid was intact, but the clay tiles he connected to was clogged so tight they were in peices , mind you from the beginning there was a huge hole in the back yard before my friend purchased the place that they had alot of concerns about, when questioning the realitor my friend was told "No Problem at all it was taken care of". Which the same day the guy filled the hole back in. once this guy realized when he connected to what he thought was the main wasnt the main after all, he hooked up to something nobody knows where it was going , were guessing maybe in a storm drain or in the ground? the man which sold the house to my friend said he will take care of it, but its been almost 7 months and theres still a hole in thier yard , my friend tries to call him to find out when hes going to fix this, to get the run around constantly, its always ill be there in a couple days, its been 7 months. My friends called thier realitor which in turn called his realitor only to be told, dont push this man to do something, he will do it when he wants to do, The man even told my friend that they have to pay for the materials to have this fixed, which shouldnt of been a problem from the start (my opinion) it was disclosed as new plumbing nothing wrong. My friends realitor has contacted his realitor several times on this, its always something new and its always the run around, seems like they are trying to stall them. I have been trying to help find sources to help my friends, they are good people and this is there first house, what rights do they have,?
7 AnswersRenting & Real Estate1 decade agocan you share a prayer?
A single mother of 2 Lil boys is very sick she has battled a tumor on the side of her face since childhood, she has been thru everything to get rid of it only to be told here recently that theres nothing that they can do for her,it has grown roots and it wrapped around nerves, heart,brain, lungs ect....they gave her up to 2 years to live, Just Friday she was told she also has cancer over top of that, and I'm praying for her every day, shes only 30 yrs old. She doesnt ask for anything from anyone, she works 2 jobs and takes care of her children on her own, I just ask kindly from the bottom of your hearts to maybe say a prayer for her to at least be here for christmas this year for her boys, thank you so much .
9 AnswersParenting1 decade agoexperienced baby sitter?
I am a 38 year old mother of 3 children ages 21,18,17 the youngest turning 18 in april, I have lots of experience with all ages of children, I am recently baby sitting for a 5 month old and a 2 yr old both being in diapers, the original agreement was from 9:30am to no later than 5:00pm Tues-Friday. In the begining she was here at 9:30am and a few times has been late to pick them up like 6:00pm. now she doesnt get here till 11:00-11:00am,and gets later everyday. She has calculated my pay some how to be 3.83 per hr for both kids, I just today gave her a written 2 week notice to either pay me $5.00 per hr or I cant babysit for her anymore. The going rate in my area is $12.50 per hr for the 2 kids. I think im being very fair about it , she seems to think thats way to much money, i was just wondering what you think about it.? Fair or Not?
8 AnswersParenting1 decade agois $3.83 enough?
recently I started babysitting for 2 kids a 4 1/2 month old and a 2 yr old. in the beginning I felt sorry for the mother that claimed that she was on salary and for no reason her boss took it away and put her back on hrly. she didnt know what to do and cant really afford to pay alot for babysitting, I told her that i would charge her $2.00 per hr per kid, which is still cheap. the first day that i had them she picked them up and said that she calculated it to be $3.83 per hr . since I have been babysitting for a month now she brings the kids later and later because she cant get up to go to work on time, so there fore i make next to nothing,.I also found out that she pays her other babysitters exactly what she pays them at work , shes a dairy queen mananger, so when she doesnt havea babyitter she gets one of her employees to do it and pays them what they make at the dq...was just wondering what some of you would do if this was your situation?
