Arsenic in the well !

[Irish mist]

Dude....if you have a buyer sell your house & rent up here. Your buyer is not going to wait forever. And like I told you in my PM check out Nature's View in Laconia for new construction at a good price that is somewhat secluded (some lake view lots) but gives you all the city services cause you don't seem cut out for country living. And no I have no connection to Nature's View

DUDE....the fact that the house had elevated arsenic in the well, elevated radon readings in the cellar and some other somewhat ticklish problems has little bearing on our "not being cut out for country living". It's just a matter of common sense. As I stated before we were looking into remediation of those problems but because of the attitude of the realtors and the seller and some of the statements made we just were not getting a good feeling with moving ahead on the buy.

So called city services, I prefer to call them city "ripoffs", are what we are trying to get away from down here in the "Commonwealth" They just promote the ability for waste fraud and abuse from the local government. You pay a lot and get little in return.

As for the development you have suggested we just do not care for Laconia. There was a house in Laconia that we looked at last year. Would have snapped it up in a heart beat but for the fact that it was in Laconia.

Selling here and renting up there is an option that we are considering at this point. Would rather not go that route if we don't have to.

Like other posters have told you these "problems" that concern you are common up here so it's best to get used to it. I, and many others have tried to help you for what, 3 or 4 years out here ? When I see you have a buyer in this terrible market & you are not moving on it I suspect that perhaps you are a house-looking hobbyist & not a serious buyer.

Not so much I think. Toad's post to me about him perhaps not being cut out to live in the country was a little over the top IMO & I left alot unsaid in my reply to him so as to remain civil. I just find it curious that after 3 plus years of looking he can't find a house up here & now that he has a buyer he's keping in his pocket in the worst housing market since the depression he still can't make a move ? In any event it's no big deal.

I have spoken on the phone with Toad and found him to be a kind spirit with a genuine interest in retiring with his wife in our lovely area. He also has very legitimate reasons for being picky about his choice of residence, which he has chosen not to mention. Irish Mist, on the other hand, is not doing a very good job of portraying the attitude that most of us NH residents put forth. Perhaps he hasn't lived here long enough to catch on. Peace.

I'm sure Toad is a nice guy.....I never said otherwise. This all started when I said perhaps he was not cut out for country living cause I found it curious that those 2 small issues he faced could derail his purchase. And if you read on you will see I then gave him a tip on a property in Laconia, nothing nasty. His resopnes to that post was over the top IMO. Lol, then it went downhill from there. It happens. Of course as his friend I'm sure you have no skin in the game. BTW I'm a native, so you can hold the snark. Also I'm not the one "beating this dead horse" I'm just responding to these 2 posts. I'll be happy to drop it.....but that requires other people to stop dropping into the thread to get their shots in.

It HAPPENED because YOU posted an over the top response to him. You started the thread downhill not Toad.

That's your opinion not a fact. I said I'll be happy to drop this, and i have, but I'm not going to sit out here & take pot-shots from the likes of you. And you don't need to post to me in caps. (internet yelling)

I just read my first post to Toad again & the "you may not be cut out for country living" line was a harmless throw-away line IMO & I then went on to give him some tips on a local residential development. There was no malice intended.

I've learned over the years on this forum that "some" people are experts in dropping into threads like this for the purpose of trying to keep "the troubles" going for entertainment value. I woud suggest Don lock the thread down & allow Toad to get back to his house hunting.

That's your opinion, not a fact. Personally, I feel that your "you may not be cut out for country living" comment was a "pot-shot" and was uncalled for.
It is a fact that this thread went downhill after your uncalled for "throw away line"
Face it! You planted the seed, so don't get your panties all in a bunch because you don't like the way it grew.

Geez, why is everyone always ready to put their gloves on? Some people aren't cut out for country living. Does that HAVE to be an insult? Why can't we give each other a break?

I don't care what you think. And keep your vile sexual taunts in your own household. It's not fit for a public forum.

Thanks for the help Irish Mist. YA..you have been just great.

The market is not terrible all over. The town that I live in is in a somewhat demand. Basically a bedroom community but with access to 3 major highways so one has an easy commute to the larger employment hubs. At the worst of the market we only lost around 12% max off the peak.

I will say thank you once again but there is no further need for your help anymore. Perhaps I shall mail a card.

I suspect you may be an instigator.

House looking hobbyist? YA...we like driving 4 hours north to look at a couple of houses and drive back another 4 hours on the same day. It's all we need for entertainment in our lives.
