Your Questions About Shingles

A contractor leaves his tools outside overnight, on our property. they are stolen. who’s responsible?

Ok the contactors started on our roof friday, got partway done, then they started putting on shingles on saturday. On saturday, they told us they would finish tommorow (that is today) and they never showed up. There is a ladder, a bunch of shingles, a air compressor, and a few other small tools. If they get stolen, who is responsible? Its not our fault they didn’t show up today! So who is responsible? it’s their tools, on our property. We never signed anything about keeping them on our property. thanks

Are we entitled to our earnest money?

My husband and I decided to buy a house, and signed a purchase agreement, putting $500 down as earnest money. Everything went good, an appraiser was supposed to be there today to look at the house. However, last week a wind storm ripped through our town with 100 mph winds and tore the shingles and everything off the house, leaving plywood exposed to 2 inches of rain. We had already paid an inspector $300 to inspect the home. We cancelled our purchase agreement and decided not to buy the house based on the damage that was sustained, and the possible damage the rain would have caused with the house exposed. I took pictures of houses next to it that would have endured the exact same wind, and there was ZERO damage done to any of them. They are refusing to return our earnest money, and I think we are entitled to it. The house is not in the same condition as it was when we signed the purchase agreement, and we have no idea how much damage the exposure to the rain caused. Is the sheetrock wet? Are the walls going to be moldy because of the moisture? I’ve decided that I will take them to court if they refuse to return our money…but will a court see it the same way that we do? Are we entitled to our earnest money?
Our buyer’s agent says that we should be entitled to the money, but since they are refusing, there isn’t much she can do about it.
I get that their insurance company should cover the damages, and they have fixed the roof. However, how are we supposed to know as a consumer that they aren’t completely screwing us over and that there is more damage done to the walls, etc. All they fixed was the roof, but I have a hard time believing that with rain that flooded our town that the house didn’t sustain any other damage!
chatsplas – I don’t believe for one second that you are any kind of an attorney, let alone an attorney specializing in real estate. No attorney is THAT unprofessional. Yes, I did read the contract. Yes, I realize that it states we get our earnest money back in the event that we could not obtain a loan. However, I signed that contract based on the house BEFORE it sustained damage. The house they are selling me now is NOT the same house I signed a purchase agreement for, no matter how much ‘fixing’ they do on the house.

They offered to fix the roof…but like I said, what kind of damage was done to the inside of the house while it was enduring 2+ inches of rain?

It does say in the purchase agreement that we are entitled to our earnest money if we are unable to get a loan on the house.

can anyone tell me whats wrong with me?

ok, today i got a massive headache. but before that, my vision was screwed up. as in, i couldnt see anything on the left side. my mom took me home, but i threw up in her car AND at home. then i started dry heaving. when that was over, i took MORE ibuprofien and then took a nap. when i woke up, i was better, but not fully cured. now i am pretty okay but still have a throbbing head. what happened to me? this has only happened once before. the exact same thing, but my vision was messed up on the right side. and THAT was only about 2 weeks ago. any help? the order in which the occur is:
-bad vision
-horrible headache
-vomiting
-dry heaving
-take a nap
-wake up with throbbing head

OH! and ive only had them AFTER i got shingles. ((and im only 13)) the doctor said i was one of the youngest cases he has ever seen, so that might be a sign.

and that order is the same as the last time.

PLEASE!! tell me what it is and how to help it…

ill explode.

and please be kind. if you dont know the answer, DONT bother. only if you can help me answer. dont waste my time.

Swollen Tragus Piercing? Please read on…?

I got my tragus pierced on Tuesday and its now Saturday. I’ve had a problem in the past with getting my lobes done, I’ve had infections every time&thats about 5 times so I’ve given up on those.

But my tragus was doing okay until yesterday (Friday) when it became swollen and sore and came to the point where my bar was getting stuck to my ear and was very painful to turn it&get it unstuck from my ear. It started to bleed a little but so far, I’ve seen no pus or any sign of infection, although it does feel like I’m going to get one…

I’ve had lots of experience in infections since I was younger, with my ears&my eye so I can feel when an infection is coming on…

I think I’m doing the right things.
– Twisting my piercing
– Cleaning it three times a day in a salt water solution
– I’ve got saline solution I’ve just started using

I’ve been told by a relative to put an ice cube on it for a while to reduce the swelling but I’m not quite sure…

I also have 800mg Aciclovir Tablets I recently got on prescription from my doctor to treat shingles&I have plenty left. I’m not quite sure whether taking them would help reduce swelling but I think I have an infection, I just don’t want it to spread.

Any advice for what I can do? Its very painful&swollen…
Please note: I am 14 years old
