Nope, we either close next week or we just walk away. Fuck them.
You can close and I can break kneecaps.. or you can walk and I can break kneecaps.. There is no mutual exclusivity when it comes to the breaking of kneecaps. Fuck these guys.
I like your thought process.

My Garmin watch has similar functionality. Recovery depends on a lot more than merely time in bed. On a good day I'm fully recovered after just 4 hours. Other days it can take 30.

Options are to wait it out or walk away. That's it.
Dang. Never had to deal with a house purchase so that’s why I asked. I figured there were at least hard dates for closing on both sides, otherwise whoever violates that gets punished somehow. Is there any way you can structure a contract that way?
That's how it works here. Seller would be liable for the costs incurred to the buy of being displaced for any extra time. Storage, rental costs, travel costs, etc

I figured it might be something like that but I have no idea. I’d definitely put that into mine if possible. And every day after original closing date, they’d be on the hook for my rent, storage costs, moving costs, etc.

And now this permitting issue for the basement? That’s completely on the seller… they should have to suffer for that, fuck that noise.

I've been using a fitbit to track my sleep, but I've considered moving to the Whoop, or the new Amazon version.. That recovery is super important to me with my bodybuilding. Need that rest/recovery to grow.

I've heard this kind of feedback from these things before. Basically that if you wait to exercise until the thing tells you you're fully recovered, you'll never do anything. I'm curious to see what one would tell me, but I'm also afraid it'd get into my head.
It has actually gotten me off my ass a couple times, however I did the first four days of data collection wrong so now it thinks the exercise I did is normal.


It's not.


So I think I'll try to wipe the last four days and start over to get a better idea of how do utilize this .

How comfortable is the Whoop strap to sleep in? It looks like it may be even better than the stock strap on the fitbit.. I bought some fabric ones, but they're too small for my wrists :(

We’re sitting here in Newark waiting for our flight to Charlotte. Iceland is truly otherworldly and epic. I’ll post pics and such later when I’m on the computer but lots of cool shit was seen.

I’m very tired and excited to get home :doe:

Here’s a few from the active volcano we visited for starters:

Been nice knowing you guys.

I have to go find out where the fuck my family is going to live in a week or two. The permits that we were told were started last week didn’t get fucking touched until we started raising hell with the township today. I’m just going to give up the $10k initial deposit and move on. :peace:

Hang on man, don't forfeit the EMD. You should get it back if they keep pushing the date. I wouldn't give up $10k easily.

I’d only get it back if they walk, otherwise I’m on the hook indefinitely.

Zero clue. Yet again, no one is going to be telling me anything. I’ll probably just show up one day and they’ll tell me to :gtfo:

I guess I don't understand the situation, but if they blow a closing date and ask for it to be moved, they are in breach of the original purchase agreement and you have the right to decline and get your money back.

Big companies suck. It's hard to tell what will happen, but mergers take time, so you're safe for a while.

Doesn’t work that way here… they “didn’t know” the basement they finished wasn’t permitted so we have zero recourse for them moving the closing date as often as they feel like it.

That's fucked. The law is slanted toward the seller, fuck that.

It blows my mind that they “didn’t know something wasn’t permitted” when they were the actual builders said un-permitted basement. That’s no way your fault, and they should have known. I am :deadhorse: but I am sure there is a loophole somewhere. Try to comb through the paperwork line by line and see if anything stands out.
