Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Ugh, gross. The only people who insist on a property survey are developers, who want to turn everything into AFC.

I've heard about folks asking for some pretty shady stuff when trying to buy a home. "Throw in the bedroom furniture for free or the deal is off," or "demolish that carport and build us a garage instead." I wish I was kidding.

Our buyer's concessions list isn't terrible:
  • remove the last circuit of knob and tube wiring (code requirement)
  • get the furnace inspected (insurance requirement; the last inspection was 2011)
  • insulate the floor and attic (since they're already replacing the roof)
  • replace 12 feet of sill plate on the foundation (insurance requirement)
I intend to take care of everything else on the nitpicky inspector's five-page list; the guy marked down everything from dented aluminum siding to wobbly ceiling fans. Like, come on dude. :rolleyes:
When my brother bought a place a few years ago the owner had a really nice 900 pound gun safe. My bro wanted it and the owner was like “toss in 2k and it’s yours” My brother was like “ na get it out of there “ and the owner was nonplussed. Should have come down on it.

Moving gun safes are a total PITA and thankfully my friend has a power stair climbing dolly. I’d never try without one.
