Decisions, decisions and decisions!!

You better double check, from my understanding if it's on your property under-ground, It's the homeowners responsibilities for any repairs even sewer pipes. If the leaking pipe is off your property to the street underground, then it's the city's responsible for all repairs including sewer pipes and gas lines. :)

Double check yes, but I doubt that. A friend of mine in Missouri had problems with an underground sewer line or something. It was right under the house, near the house (property) BUT the city fixed it. No huge bill for her and her family. Not HER problem.
 
oh yea - One more thing - I just moved back to my parents' home last year. By doing that - I just saved about $800/month. man... that felt better not giving away the dead money

My husband said "in the house" so I asked him to clarify what he meant by that..like literally inside the house or in the property. He said in the property. Geez, that man confuses me sometimes. LOL!

Yea, I get what you mean. :)
 
Yeah, Cheri, it's kinda like my phone line; the phone company is responsible for anything that happens/goes wrong with their line at the street. Anything that happens inside my home, I am responsible for. In my case, I pay something like $3.00 a month (this is optional) to "insure" that whatever happens to the phone line/jacks, etc inside my house will be taken care of by the phone company. This has happened once or twice now in the last several years so I have gotten my money's worth by paying for this "insurance".

What kind of problem? clogged up? Did your friend had the city replace the sewer pipe, or just snaked it out? I know cities does snaked sewer pipes out for free, but replacing sewer pipe cost money.

See that's where it gets confusing..maybe it is by state by state depending on the requirements? Cuz I remember when I was a kid, a line broke under my mom's house and the city came and fixed it. I remember asking my mom how much she had to pay and she said nothing cuz it was the city's responsilbility. :dunno:

What about water, sewer, or gas lines? If they break underground on your property, are u responsilbe for paying for the repairs?

I don't think so because GalaxyAngel who lives in Canada had to replace her sewer pipe out of her own pocket.

And the same thing happened to Angel. :)

Yea, my hubby says the same thing as u. That's nice to learn that..great! I never really thought about it until u mentioned. Now, I am going to hope that never happens to us!

BTW..speaking of the devil with repairs..our AC just stopped working and we discovered the AC pipe was completely frozen over. Now my husband is swearing and calling the home warranty company to have someone come and fix it. Better stop talking about home repairs now before bad karma hits us and everything in the house breaks. Thanks for the helpful info..smile.

Shel, at the moment, I am not entirely sure because, for one thing, I am on septic so that is entirely on my shoulders. As for the water and gas lines, you know that the city's lines run parallel to properties. I think we are responsible for the pipes at the point where they go from the city's main, under our front lawns to the house is the point from which we are responsible for their maintenance.
 
Yeah, just thinking before I can go ahead so I don't have to make a stupid mistake ....
I don't think you would if you don't have to pay anything! :lol:

all in all, bottom line: follow your heart. try to not think too hard, future isn't present - it won't show today if you get the picture.

Jake, You are too young. You better be back to your parents' house to save money but your family have lots of children and you have lots of things as tv, furniture, computers, etc. After five years or more later, you may buy condominiums if you are single. The condominiums are cheaper than single house. they includes two or three bedrooms. You will make to be happy after moving.

I know that you want to visit USA but travel expense is costly. You must save money after moving to your parents.

condo is cheaper than single house? no way not in here. One-bedroom condo in here is mostly twice more than a single house with few bedrooms + driveway + yard. damn NJ - bergen county....

Not true. You live in New Jersey. I know that some cities of NE states including Boston, NY, Phila, DC suburbans' houses are expensive price over $400's. My sister lives in townhouse near DC which have three bedroom and is 30 years old. It costs about $480. too much. So I just purchased new built-house last one and half years ago. It is cluster home like condo in Ohio which having three bedroom + basement + yard + two-car garage. It costs less than $180. Not so bad. No way to live in NE states.

$480k... close to $500k - a typical range of family home in NJ. However - most of houses/condos in bergen county are in easy $1 million range. I used to live in townhouse in 1990's... it was about $450ish range at that time. We sold it for about $650k in late 90's. Now it's probably about $900k but I wouldn't be surprised if it hits $1m range.

If you do manage to find a nice $480k-range house in here... be prepared to pay for hefty municipal property tax. It's a real killer. It ain't cheap living around here - I can never afford to buy a house in here unless I marry a rich wife.

Or unless u land a prestigous job with all the perks, including a 7 figure salary. :)
 
House is nice when you hook that up after you settle down. For me, i have many networks surrounds me that who have those relationships in my department. Its always nice to have networks who able to find you when you find them.

I agreed with you, J-dog for those reasons what you have made. Go beyond that and may the jedi be with you, dude-
