No keys, no keys to anything
Comments (14)DH is wants one of those biometric locks for our side door (thumb/fingerprint, not a numeric code) to have one less key to lose. :-) It's a bummer that they're so industrial looking, though. All I carry on a normal day are house and car key/fob (hate that clunky thing). Keys to the yard gate padlocks, shed, household safe, a couple of friends' houses (so we can feed their pets or whatever) and other random things like that hang on a key rack in the kitchen, I don't think there's much point in carrying them around all the time when they're only needed occasionally. I usually don't take my keys along if I'm going somewhere with DH (who has a house key, a car key/fob - the key flips out of the fob when you push a button - and the key to some work thingy that doesn't look anything like a key at all), since he prefers driving when we go out together. I haven't been completely keyless since 1987 when I got my first car. Back then, we never locked the house - no one we knew did, living in exurbs and rural areas - so the only key I carried was my car key, or once in a while I'd have a key to somewhere I worked. When I lived in Chicago and Boston and didn't have a car, I had to carry keys for the main door of the apartment buildings, my apartment, and the mailbox, as well as a little leather holder for my public transit card and (in Chicago) school ID. It's been so long since I've been on a plane that I don't remember if I took my keys - I'm pretty sure I did. But that was long enough ago that I was also able to take two actual swords onto the plane in my carryon (don't ask)....See MoreContract says sellers can stay 5 days after closing
Comments (66)Hmm,I can see I've messed up much worse than Carol.I browse through this forum occasionally and saw this posting and thought I might need to read it.I live in south Ga and recently we've offered a contract to a seller,the house was for sale by the owner.We were preapproved in advance.I used no real estate lawyer,only my bank lady has helped me.To make a long story shorter I made a verbal offer and only after she accepted it did we do a contract and it was a very short contract stating what we offered for the house,termite inspection and or treatment,etc,a few more things added but I didn't think to say she had a time frame to be out of the premises after closing.My banker(mortage lady) had said I could make my own contract and I just used a copy of a contract agreement to go by.Of course the banker lady went over my contract and said it was fine.I guess she didn't catch it either.Anyway all this rides on the VA approving the loan to and I haven't heard yet though it has been appraised nor did I offer any money to the seller as earnest money(I think thats what it referred to here)We're purchasing it as a "AS is"home so intend to start working on it right after closing.I do know the lady can't leave until she has her money from the sell.I guess if she doesn't leave in the next day or two after closing she will have to help work!

Comments (71)You already have many dollars and plenty cents invested in this house so don't let a small wrinkle automatically make you back out. Sure, you may be able to insist on possession at closing or no deal but uness you are actively searching for a way out of the contract, consider the idea. Ask your realtor for more details and see if you can figure out why the seller is asking for additional time. If they have a delay in getting possession of their next residence or trouble scheduling a mover, it is a reasonable request. However, if they have not yet made arrangements, be more cautious. If you have to pay additional money to cover your expenses for the delay, perhaps ask for one and a half times your expected expenses in credit to closing costs. Then negotiate a security deposit and also a higher fee for going past the week. Or, request that funds be held in escrow so seller can't collect all their money until you get possession in satisfactory condition. In any case, make sure the seller has an appropriate incentive to move out within that week so this doesn't drag out. In my state, you must be resident at the new address on January 1 to claim homeowners property tax exemption fore year, or delay closing until owner moves out....See MoreBriggs Classic 35 won't start after flwheel key change
Comments (8)Laying the sparkplug on the cyl head is not an adequate test for the ign system. Installed and with compression, more voltage is required to ignite the fuel air mixture. According to the briggs training, About 8,000 volts is necessary to start a cold engine. 4,000 volts is needed when the engine is warm. The briggs spark tester has a .166 gap and requires about 13,000 volts to fire. The briggs ignition coil is capable of 20,000 volts or higher. I don't know capacity of the Chinese coils that are showing up. A spark can be blue, amber or invisible. Frequently, I have to turn off the lights to see a spark....See Morenancylouise5me
