Everyone please say a prayer for my family 😭🙏🏼 we just got evacuated from our home because we ordered oil today and the oil company never inspected the tank before dumping like they’re supposed to . 200 gallons of oil in my house , yard , dry well. They’re condemning and bulldozing my house in 72 hours 😭
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but why do they have to bulldoze your house??
@leahkay, no it’s not stupid cause i don’t understand either . I guess because of how bad it seeped into the walls in the downstairs? Well one certain wall. I’m not sure
@briannalynn547, What kind of oil was it? They’d not just condemn a house without having professionals inspect it (my husband has worked in the oilfield 15 years) is this a rental home? Especially because there’d be a period the dwelling would have to sit before it could be dozed and it would be longer then 72 hours. There’d be environmentalists in there because of ground contamination...the least of their concerns would be the house. How are you not sure..this is your home?? That’s scary!
@beakymcspence, it’s a rental , they’re not talking to us they’re giving him the info . Maybe he’s stretching the truth a bit to play poor me cause he’s not getting any money out of it . The dca or whatever the people are called we’re and are still there inspecting . It went into the dry well and everything
@briannalynn547, Yeah seems there’s more to it then your being told love because that makes zero sense. I’m going to say your landlord sees dollar signs with an insurance payout.
@beakymcspence, lol that’s the best part HE WASNT INSURED SMFH
You have every right to the information being provided and need to speak up as your legally the resident. I’d call your local tenancy board ASAP also and find out your rights.
@briannalynn547, There’s your answer love. He has no insurance to cover what would need to be done to make it legally safe therefor they’d give him no option then to demolish. Sadly he’s dumb because that land will have a period where it must remain vacant due to the contamination. It would be an environmental hazard and with no insurance there’s no one stepping up to payout and take charge of what needs to be done. ASAP find out your rights.
@beakymcspence, fucking idiot . He’s always been a scum lord . Always . Never fixes anything . We’ve been trying to leave and find better but it’s hard cause we really just wanna but but that takes time . We were supposed to meet with someone Friday to start the process . The fire department said that he needed to get his home owners insurance on the phone and he said the house hasn’t been insured in 3 years
@beakymcspence, it’s crazy what some people do for money. And he was making it poor me literally the whole time
@briannalynn547, Exactly! He’s scum. It’s his own loss too because he has no insurance there’s no one to pay or fix this situation, and because it would pose and environmental risk and be condemned unless fixed and properly dealt with...he has no choice but to demolish. If there was insurance it would have been dealt with and properly. What a POS.
@spookylyn, Yep he would be, and return your funds as it’s mid month.
What a swamp donkey...and now he’s lost the house it’s worth and the land is useless for at least 3 years. This will teach him. KARMA
Oh no!! I'm so sorry! That is terrible. I'd hope the damn company that didn't do their job is held liable as well! How can they not inspect a tank before filling it? It was above ground, right?
@beakymcspence, oh yep he gave that shit back immediately, we’re gonna need to use it for storage and moving trucks . We have so much shit 😭 he was crying cause he knows he’s screwed . He knows we’re gonna come after him. I just had to buy new cages, beds , and everything for my dogs and bring them to my moms . (They haven’t had caged at my house in a while cause it broke and we didn’t see a reason to get more cause they’re good dogs) but that was 300$. To make sure they were set with toys, beds , food , treats and to pay my mom for doing it for me even though she told me to stop and take my money back I’m not like that. My life is gonna be hell. I can’t even explain how sick to my stomach i am. @nomli, and yeah it was . When my MIL said why didn’t you look first they got in their car and said “I’m not dealing with this “ and left lmfao . They’re definitely gonna hear from a lawyer .
Oh, no!! So sorry to hear! Was your stuff damaged? Do you have renters insurance?
@justgotaname, certain things that were pressed up against the one wall that the oil seeped into bad but not to much . Cheap stuff . And no we did not
I'm sorry. This sucks. What was the oil for though? 200 gallons to go where? I know its not the same as propane.
@briannalynn547 Ohh I honestly didn't know oil was still used like that.
I'm so sorry you are going through this. If he was trying to pull a scam wouldn't he know it wouldn't do any good without insurance? Why isn't it the oil companies fault?
@mhbb3, it is , they’re the ones who didn’t inspect . But he still should’ve had insurance on the house . I didnt even know you didn’t need it if you’ve paid your mortgage off . I’d always have that lol especially with as much happened to this house . It was always something . He’s taking the oil company to court , but we can take him to court
Wow just wow, soo sorry u gotta deal with this 🙏🙏 hope u guys can get into a nice home soon with ur stuff
Allllways have renters insurance!!! It’s cheap and will save your bum! I’m so sorry that happened to you, and honestly your landlord. Slumlord or not, I’m sure this is and was scary and he learned his lesson— just sorry it was on you ☹️ I hope things pick up for the better for you ASAP!
@kengie, next time we definitely are . My mom has it and pays like 20 bucks a month . So I know its super cheap but I guess we never just thought about it ? But now we’re never renting another house without it . Ever . Thank you!
Already bleeding from the sweep... just got the castor oil and orange juice in my system... now we wait 🤞🏾did this method work for any of you ladies?
cats and babies My so and I haven't been able to have cats for years. Last year we moved into our own house. So says we can have a cat now.
Locking your doors We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
Opinions!! We are putting the house on the market soon and my realtor thinks we need to upgrade to granite. Only problem is, for a kitchen this size, the cheapest quote I got was $3,800. Everyone is telling me not to do it, they don't think there is a good enough ROI. What do you think?
Any moms near me want a free puppy?! They’re 1 month old so it will be a few more weeks before they’re weaned. We have 7! They’re super cute! And free!
