Transferring the House


My inlaws want to transfer the house to their kids. Is this something simple to do with a lawyer? Does any of the parties have to pay tax for this transaction? If yes, any other methods that can avoid it?

Termites! Help


The last couple of weeks, I have discovered I have a bunch of dead termites dead in my basement floor. With further inspection, I noticed a hole eaten up by the termites behind the refrigator. For now, caulk the hole.

Any recommendation on who to care and what to do.

Thanks.

This cold weather is no joke


What a day to start with on my birthday. Sometimes between midnight and 2:15am, my water pipe in the garage bursted. The cap on the tee pop off. I guess due to the rust and freezing pressure.

When I shut off the water meter, I really thought I am f***ed. I thought the pipe bursted underground. That would require tearing the finish basement up. Fortunately, the damage only cost me $8 for a new elbow and a valve, semi-wet garage and a sleepless night.

Next time it gets real cold, I will just trickle some of my faucets. Not taking any more chances.
