EEEKKK - More rage and frustration

The real estate agent sent me the selling agreement I can sign electronically. One of the stipulations is that there be a working CO detector in the house. Now I have to go out and buy one just to be legal. They run $50 - $70 in hardware stores around here. If you're going to say "Why don't you have one in the first place?", I bought one years ago and it just kept going off, so I took it back to the store.
 

You’ve done an incredible job of clearing out your old house!!! Kudos.

If you have to have it, buy the monitor and then take it with you when the house is sold. They‘re just plug-ins.

Is there any stipulation in your home insurance policy that the house has to be inspected by someone if no one is living there or on vacation? Ours is every three days unless we have a security system that alerts for low temperatures &/or floods. You might need to drive back there every two or three days. If it’s really cold, you could set your thermostat higher for those days.

Whaddaya mean? It's already started...the toilet, fuel delivery, blinds. Let's all hope that those things are the worst of it.

@debodun Have you checked out getting someone to plow your driveway? If not, add it to your list❄️🌨️

I never had a plow at the OH and managed. The driveway is half as long as at the OH added to the fact there's no public sidewalk to clear, a short sidewalk to the garage and no garage frontage to shovel. If there less than 8" of snow, I think I can manage.
 
Took Joey to the dentist, my dentist of 40 years, and the one he saw till he left home. None of his teeth need to be extracted. The other dentist wanted to extract 3 healthy teeth. 🤬. My daughter just had a similar experience where a dentist said she needed 3 fillings and a root canal. 🤬

What the heck?
 
After I broke my lawn mower this summer, my cousin let me borrow one of his. I am now done with it and suggested to him that he pick it up. He said his truck is in the shop and doesn't know when it will be repaired. They are waiting for a part. What if the house sells before he can get it?

well that's his choice, he knows it's going to be left there when you move, so if he doesn't collect it he loses it..

Do you have a date set for your move to the new house?

No. Still can't decide on a moving company. There aren't that many around here and to read the reviews on Thumbtack, Angi and Yelp, you'd think every one was run by stumblebums. Kinda puts me off. They all want to be paid by the hour (which promotes lollygagging). I want to pay for the job.
 
You could always ask them to come look at your stuff and give a good estimate of how long it will take. Also, how many guys (I assume) will be doing the moving, and whether they'll bring their own truck.

Then make them an offer based on that estimate and information. Kind of like ... two guys plus truck for four hours = $____.

Hey, it couldn't hurt to ask.
 
Many years ago I was working at a Ford dealership in Center, Tx. but actually lived in Louisiana, 7 miles from Center. I bought a house in Center and then had to find a way to move. I was a single mom with two small kids and a large 3 bedroom house. I got along with all of the guys that worked at the dealership and knew their wives. So, they asked what day did I want to move and the move was on. They all had pickup trucks and one Friday after work, they lined up at my house in Louisiana. There were 8 pickup trucks and four of the wives with coolers loaded with beer and sandwiches. They would load one truck and then go directly to Center where I was at the new house to unload. The wives directed the loading at the old house to come to my new house. Each truck made two trips and then all wound up at the new house and we all ate sandwiches and had a beer. Best move I ever made and did not cost me a penny. It was the talk of both neighborhoods as they all watched the trucks load and unload. One if the wives told me that I was so respected at the dealership and they wanted to help me move as easily as possible. Best people ever!

Possibly a theatrical group would want them. You could offer them All or Nothing for free and they pick up. Anything to save you from packing them downstairs and driving away.

Or even quilters might want them. Again, All or Nothing.
