I recieved an email from Kathleen....

She can't get in and got a message that she doesn't have a membership here.

She thinks maybe she has been banned but doesn't know why...

She wants me to email them for her but I can't remember where to find their email.

I see a contact up above but I think it is for tech problems with the forum.

Patti, all the way at the bottom of the page, there is a link that says Technical Problems. Click that and it takes you to where you can send them a message.

how do we make our project sail as smooth as possible
Q
Comments (4)
For a whole-house reno, I think six months' worth of materials would be impossible to store. First off, where? Second, how do you organize it so the stuff the guys need in week 6 isn't buried behind the stuff they'll need in week 20? I'm all for getting things early, especially things that have long lead times (lighting fixtures, imported tiles) but I don't think it's a workable plan to get everything in advance. Having said that, your GC will help with coordination and storage as materials come in. And I'd stretch most manufacturers' estimated lead times - if they say four weeks, I'd order no less than 6-7 weeks before I needed the material in question. Other advice for smooth sailing (from one who had a perilous trip): Good contractors. Have an emergency fund for unexpected surprises. Spell out everything in your contracts, and create a paper trail (email at minimum) if questions arise. If you agree to a change verbally, back it up with an email the same day ("per our conversation today, I agree to replacing X with Y for a cost of $Z") Spell out payment terms in every contract and don't deviate for sob stories about "I know we agreed that I don't get paid until the roughing is done, but...". Have a holdback for punchlist items in every contract - 5-10% - and don't pay until punchlist is 100% done. Get lien waivers from everyone on the job before you pay that last 5-10%. Spell out site rules with GC in advance - no smoking, workmen should use only the downstairs bathroom, no loud radios, whatever. Don't pack your wine glasses, corkscrew or other liquor-related kitchen items - you'll need them. ;)

How do we get to know our neighbours
Q
Comments (17)
Hi Folks....This is how we met our neighbours and the best part was we did not try. We built out house so what you say, well when two grey headed people just a little shy of 60 are there hammering, sawing, and drilling and then painting for nealy 12 hours a day 7 days a week for 6 months it does not take long to meet everyone around the area, from the local bank manager just curious as he had never seen a house getting build before, the counciler worried about our U ( double forked) trees, the roofer yes he got the job, the plasterer he got it too, the local copper on his motor bike still waves if he see me out the front, even the teenagers ridng their horses down the road used to yell out and ask how we were today or what are you up to now. And advice, plenty of that which was sometimes welcome, other times not, and the savings we had on all the paint, and other things as new to Brissie we did not know where to get the best deals. I remember once hubby and I were tryng to put up one of the door frames ( 12 ft X 7ft ) and I did not have the strength to hold it, then out of the blue I see this guy coming in to help what a relief!!. When we had smoko people would stop in for a cuppa and biscuits and chat for a while and see how the work was coming on, it was great. Now five years down the track I look back and think of all the neighbours that gave me plants and cuttings and garden advice, so many have moved away but those that haven't still stop when walking their dogs in the mornings and they see me in the garden they say lovely things about it so I offer cuttings or plants/bulbs as now it my turn to give back what my lovely neighbours have given to me over the years....Cheers..MM

We are thinking of getting rid of our fireplace; how valuable is it?

I think you'll be fine getting rid of the fireplace. If you had a house with a distinct style, say a craftsman, spanish or victorian, then I would say keep the fireplace

How much do we pay our realtor/family member if we found the buyer?
Q

As always, Denita is correct. Have you signed a listing agreement with your relative/agent? If yes, you are bound by the terms of the agreement. The listing actually belongs to the broker and not the agent. If you have not signed a listing agreement, you are not bound to anyone or anything. My guess is that you have signed an agreement in order for the house to be listed in the MLS. I negotiate for 4.5% and sometimes I get it. How it is split between brokers and agents is none of my business. Remember, real estate is the last of the great horse trades. You won't know unless you try. As a seller, I never pay more than 5%. I will set up a separate, lower commission arrangement if the selling agent brings the buyer. I'm not paying the full freight for that situation. If your conversation with the friend has been casual, you can say nothing to no one and allow the listing agreement period to lapse. Your relative may bring you a superior offer. It's not the most ethical way of doing things, but it's not illegal. Given that you found the buyer, not the agent, afterwards you can arrange for an attorney to draw up an agreement and pay the attorney for their services. If it were me. I'd wait to see if my relative brought me a superior buyer. If not, I wouldn't renew the listing contract. It's business. Family needs to perform to get my business. Would you accept less than stellar effort from a stranger? No.

Did you send an email Patti?
Do you think several of us should report Kath's problem in case one or more won't go through?
I know it's hard to reach people through the KT email.

I've had to log in twice today so I suspect it's GardenWeb and not Kath.

What Kath could possibly say to get banned?

Lori...She doesn't have a clue...she was afraid it was about the post on the email scam...but she was just posting that to show how dumb some of those scams are. So I doubt that would be the problem.

I don't think it would hurt to email them...

I just saw her scam post and there was nothing offensive there...to me anyway.

I will email too.

I think if that scam posting was enough of a problem to ban her, they'd have pulled the post too. I'd say it's a technical problem.

She'd know if she were banned...trust me.
Probably just a technical issue.

Message for Kathsgardn ... before you get too upset, clear your cache and cookies, reboot and try to log in again. If that doesn't work, then action definitely should be taken to get you back here!
