Do you know anything about Hampton in the context of Hampton Beach? Can one live in Hampton without experiencing the glamor of the beach clientele?

If Bruce doesn’t go to prison, can he be evicted and have this event on his record so that it will surface on a background check?

I used to be a landlord, and I would have wanted to know if an applicant did something like this. Knowing this, I wouldn’t have rented to him.

I realize having an event like this coming up on a background check would make it nearly impossible to get an apartment, but bad behavior should come with bad consequences.

Why not have the architect select them? Its shocking to me if he cant do it, might mean an additional service, but he should know. Additionally, design should never be simply "Make a design, then pick finishes". The finishes go hand in hand with the design, as the material selection is critical to understanding the performance of the house.

Im an architect that specializes in exterior work, i recommend you reach out to your architect and have him help you with that.

We unfortunately don’t have any type of HOA or condo association so it’s basically everyone for themselves. However, upon doing some light research I did find that she is getting assistance from the state to fund her mortgage. If she’s not meeting certain criteria such as paying her half of the master policy or taking care of hazardous situations she’s liable and can lose her funding.

If I wasn’t so pregnant right now I would move in a second. We plan to move within the next year but for the time being it’s just not in our cards at the moment, as I cannot take on any added stress and we would end up being in the middle of a move by my due date. I’m hoping that between contacting NH housing and our insurance company they can take the right actions on our behalf. The noise I can deal with but our house catching fire from her negligence shouldn’t be something we should have to worry about!

I am temporarily driving for Uber for some extra cash... and found myself in Rochester after midnight. It's a veritable Zombieland.

I live in Lee purposefully for the school (we are in a co-op with Madbury and Durham). Housing is very competitive, although the top of your budget might be less competitive (if any houses in that range come on the market). Houses in my neighborhood are going for just over $500k, I had mine appraised 3 years ago during my divorce for $350k (and I bought it for $265k in 2013). It's a relatively easy jaunt to go to portsmouth, although you'll curse loudly during the commute home over the rt 4 bridge in Newington.

I cannot say enough good things about the Oyster River school district. I've known people that worked in both the Exeter and Portsmouth districts, and while those are pretty good, there are some institutional problems that make me doubly happy about Oyster River.

I used to live in Newmarket, and I think the school there is pretty good, it was lacking a bit for what we needed. so we decided to move about 9 years ago. I still live a 7 minute drive to downtown newmarket and can get my vanilla latte at crackskulls with a smile. Oddly enough, when I moved back to NH in the mid 2000's... there was a house for sale in Lee that we would have bought (this was pre-child) but we balked at the taxes. Now I'm glad to be here and can stomach paying a premium tax rate... wish I really thought that through then. would have saved a lot of headache.

Edit to add: Barrington has a tuition agreement with Oyster River where students can tuition into the high school. I think though it is competitive to get a spot, but I'm not 100% sure.

I’ve got your guys PM for reference. No not a scam, just don’t want to flood their inboxes with spam themselves.

We live in a townhouse and one neighbor is out about 80% of the time (she is a single parent and leaves for work at 6 AM and returns at 7 PM and I think that she stays with her parents on the weekends). The other neighbor is gone about 10 hours during the day. So they are both quiet. We have good sound insulation between units.

We also have very strict rules on parking an noise and they are enforced.

The problem with a Condex is that you have a vote and the other person has a vote. One of the things that I look at in condos is the quality of management. Some places have awful management and some places are great. Of course your opinion of what constitutes quality may vary from mine.

Some people or management boards are aggressive about maintenance and enforcing rules which is what I like while others like to minimize current costs and defer maintenance for as long as possible which I consider short-sighted.

I'd go along with the other recommendation to move somewhere else.

There’s a housing shortage for sure so it’s good to look in a few towns. Lee and Madbury are great. Rollinsford is worth a look, it’s definitely underrated. Dover is a wonderful city, the issue is years of mismanagement. The teachers are some of the lowest paid in the state despite fairly high taxes. There’s a ton of development happening, which gets tax breaks. Hopefully the City sees its worth and sticks up for the residents more. Epping has a lot there and is very convenient. Greenland, Stratham are sort of like Epping. I’d stay away from towns closer to the Coast just due to prices and traffic.

Same here, I did hire a roofer, painter (exterior), and driveway contractors because both of those are a pain to do alone if you have a full time job. I am doing all siding/trim repair, building my porch, new doors, windows, all interior work etc. myself. I had some experience and plenty of mechanical ability before this past year, but just dove right in recently and realized most work is not that hard, just a takes time to do alone.

The Kroft family was always the owners of Granite State Potato Chip Company. Same family from beginning to end.

That’s a really good idea! I will contact them today, thank you for this!!

Wow interesting maybe stop voting republican then since they clearly don't represent you or your wanhahahaha sorry I couldn't even finish it because we both know you'll vote for anyone with that R next to their name. That's why trump won and why we're not too far off from becoming Northern Alabama. Again, I don't care what you say I care what you do...and people like you have been voting in right wing nut-jobs and free staters. That's all I need to know about you. Make changes to that first then we can talk about whatever you want, chief.

Very well aware. My family's been at the base of the MT for over 60 years.

Yeah, insulate the dividing wall between units very well except for the wall between your nursery and their master bedroom. Gotta make sure not to block the baby's cries!

You should file a claim with your homeowners insurance, and tell them that your neighbor is at fault here. Provide a statement from the fire department saying that the fire was in the other unit. Also write your own statement that you told them about the fire hazard, that they declined to deal with it for years, and that their negligence lead to damage to your primary home. That they knew this was going to happen and didn't do anything about it.

I know you said they didn't pay for their insurance, but that doesn't absolve them of their liability. You'll get your repairs taken care of, and the insurance company will probably go after them for the repair cost because you are not at fault. The emergency call wasn't even for your unit. Normally your insurance would go after the other person's insurance for damages, but if they didn't pay for insurance, well... they're liable for the damages themselves.

LOL, I grew up in Dover and had a friend who lived there in the 90s, his grandmother lived there in a different apartment during the same time frame, and my dad lived there in the 70s. Definitely has not been updated since they were built in the early 70s - same crappy little weed choked "pond" out front and the world's smallest community swimming pool, lol. The studios were decently laid out with privacy area for the bedroom but yeah, I can see how the creek wold flood the place although I never knew anyone who had to deal with that.

I only have anecdotal evidence but have heard terrible things about the Dover school system.

I remember in the early 90’s a family from Colorado took over ownership. I think it only lasted a couple more years after that.

You probably want a real estate attorney for this one, will involve filing paperwork with the county registry like when you buy or sell a house. For something like this, I expect the attorneys fees will be well below the amount they owe you.

damn that’s rough. I like your solution! We’re doing most things ourselves but there’s a lot so if we don’t have helpers, it’d take a while.

I did, and I actually got the answers I was looking for. WoULd yA lOoK aT tHaT

You should go on reddit and complain.

It seems to be members only?

You would be better off hanging your own drywall then hire someone to mudd and tape. If its just you hanging drywall then look to hire someone or two people to help.
