Compost quandary - having to share the goodies
Q

Flora, we've had the same thing here for quite a while. I have my own backyard compost, but it's not feasible for me to compost things like meat, gravy, oily foods, plate scrapings, milk products etc because of the odour and skunks or raccoons getting into the bin. I've even had problems with cats and rats getting in there. So my raw vegetable peelings get a handful or two into the worm bin every so often, the rest go into my backyard compost along with hair, leaves, etc. Anything else I put in the green bin for city collection. By the way, the city hot composts it in a large facility, and residents can get free compost at one of their pickup sites. Here's the link to our city's green bin site, and it has a list of what can be composted. Just cross off the list anything which can go into your personal bin, and put the rest in the green bin.

Cold every night this week! I planted: Santa Barbara Daisies Croftway Pink Monarda (interested in seeing the results from a trade) Native Persimmons Enchiops double blue aquilegia Spring magic aquilegia asclepias incarnata Dwarf blue balloon flowers Oenothera Lamarckiana Orange gerber daisies dianthus firewitch (mine doesn't come true but makes interesting variations) pink granny bonnets aquilegia Dianthus gratianopolitanus semi-aquilegia elecarta (renamed now, I think) Dark blue aquilegia blue flag iris I've been doing them in color pairings, and this year I'm using only tubs from lettuce/greens. I get them free from our church soup kitchen and they have been the best containers for me so far. So much more easier than using bottles etc. I can use these over and over and store at least 50 of them in a big plastic bin, under the house. They are a godsend!

Buying? My advice to any one buying a house is to get a licensed home inspector, and be there when he is there.

I like the house. Looks very cozy.

What's a HUD house?

I don't know that I'd waste money on a house inspector. It'd be better to get a contractor in there that YOU trust and ask him to take a look at things.

I've had three *really really* bad experiences with home inspectors.

If you want to know if your faucets drip and the polarity on your outlets is reversed, then by all means, drop $500 on a home inspector.

If you want to know if the house is structurally sound, get a contractor.

Just my two cents.

Gorgeous house, by the way!

A "popular" home inspector did an inspection on my friend's house. He wrote such trivial crap in the report......such as the stove was an inch above the counter. It's a regular range, not built-in/slide in, and what the heck did it matter to the soundness of the house???

I've seen several that missed the important stuff like dampness in the basement walls.

What a cute house! Keeping my fingers crossed for you Moni. My home inspector overlooked that my dishwasher wasn't hooked up to code and I had to pay a plumber over $200 to do it correctly soon after moving in. He also told me I wouldn't be able to have a garage door opener installed. After about 3 years of living here I did get one installed with no problem. These are minor problems. You do want to know if your home is structurally sound.

Haven't heard anything yet.

HUD
Housing &
Urban
Development

with other words, a house in foreclosure. No need for an inspector... as you buy as is.

There is a list of what has been inspected by HUD prior to them listing it.

Had two good male friends and a good realtor look, and all agree on what needs to be done first. :)

Still hoping.. wishing... I bid 10,000.00 less than they asked for it. No telling how long it will take before I hear something, as my realtor friend hadn't done a HUD bidding online before.

I'll keep you posted.

Moni, that new info is good to know.

Because my DGS is looking for a house, I googled and found some good info re HUD Homes.

You might want to glance at this site.

Also has info about certain rehab loans if there is a lot of work to be done.

Hope you can get the house.

I didn't know you could buy a house without having it inspected???

Patti, what good does the inpection do you, if HUD won't fix anything?

We saw some possible problem with the foundation in one corner, and there is some cosmetic work that needs to be done. But, nothing major.

It was inspected by HUD, and tells me, what all is in working order.

But, for the price... I won't be able to ever beat this. As soon as I know it is mine.. I will post some pictures.
