What’s wrong with a little flat spot?
-
@89th said in House Hunting Adventures!:
We will probably move mid June. Our youngest (5 months) just got one of those head band/helmet things to fix a flat spot so we want to wait until he doesn’t look like R2D2 before we move.
I feel like that thing is very highly prescribed now.
One of my kids had it - a few friends of ours had it.
Not sure how much it actually does, TBH (since heads to round out naturally).
But it did help her avoid a few knocks on the noggin'

Agreed that it seems much more common now.

Interesting that many kids in Taiwan - the back of their head is flat because that is how they are laid out in bed when they are very little. It is not really noticeable when you have hair and does not really seem to have any effect on brain growth or how smart or dumb you are.

Listed our current home on Friday, under contract by Sunday evening!
We priced it aggressively (higher than it’ll appraise for), and only received one offer after 16 showings, but that one offer didn’t know they were the only offer so they bid above ask and waived inspections. Woot!

That´s amazing--congrats, 89th!
I cannot imagine waiting inspection when purchasing a house. Is that just the norm right now? My place is a condo that had been on the market for a few months when I found it, so an inspection was just a given.

Thanks! @Optimistic our place is pretty simple, so there isn’t as much to inspect as a bigger house, maybe that’s why.

That's fantastic news.
When's the move (too lazy to scroll up)?

Got lots of family to help? Big moving truck to haul everything? That's a lot of work to move stuff. Maybe just hire the Two Guys and a Truck movers.
That's a company in our area. Maybe they are part of a franchise or chain. Not sure. -

They are. In our area they get mediocre reviews, and I don't know if they do out-of-state moves.

My wife will fly up with the two kids (3 years and 6 months) and I will drive one car. It takes 17 hours if you don’t stop at all.
Also Brenda...I would say 20 out of 20 call workers all have the same reaction when I say I’m moving to Minnesota, “isn’t it cold there?”
I tell them I did my own analysis and from April to October, each month has more pleasant days there than DC, and in the winter at least it’s snow and you know what you’re getting, whereas in DC it’s always on that disgusting freeze slush line

It's easier to have a small move. That's in your favor. It's still a lot of work to unpack it all.
Crazy story -
When hubby and I bought our first house in Michigan, and before the moving company had even arrived to deliver everything, my inlaws were already there to visit. Ayup, we had not even moved in yet. No beds, no sheets, no nothing. We were staying at the local hotel, and they wanted to know what to do. We said, "Get a hotel room."I had to go to work, left home for the day, and while I was gone the moving truck arrived. I came home to see that my MIL and hubby's teenage sister had unpacked all the kitchen things and put them into the cupboards and drawers. Everything.
They were so proud of themselves. There was no rhyme nor reason to where things were put, they were just stuffed anywhere they would fit without any plan. I was supposed to be grateful.
I ended up unloading every drawer and cabinet to organize things to be able to know where anything was stored. I couldn't even cook until I could find things, and cooking was expected.
Advice - DO NOT let your relatives do this to you.
Oh, and during more uppacking ( I swear these people had no boundaries) hubby's sister (age 15) found the peppermint Schnapps. Things smelled pretty minty around her room, and she had a very long nap. The parents were oblivious.
You are completely correct about the weather comparison, 89th. I think you will do just fine here. You've already got it figured out on that.

Advice - DO NOT let your relatives do this to you.Pro tip: invite @brenda and let @brenda do the unpacking for you. She will surprise you with a superior placement scheme for stuff that you would never think up on your own but will benefit from for the rest of your live.
