16 Homeowners Reveal Things They Wish They Knew Before Buying Their First House
1. Get the sewage pipe scoped. I wish I would have down that with my first house. If I would have known that, I would have never bought the house. Tree roots were growing into the sewer pipe. Every 6 months or so we would have the sewer pipe back up and had to call a plumber out on an emergency call. It was advised to us that we should probably replace the sewage pipe with a PVC pipe.

- Exploiting legal protections: Depending on local laws, once someone has established residency, even illegally, there may be a formal eviction process that the owner must go through to remove the individual, which can be time-consuming and costly.
17 Welders Reveal How Much They Make
1. My background is welding but I branched out and learned more trade skills. I make $45 an hour with pretty much unlimited overtime. I know I’m far above average in pay. I was making $50k for a couple years. That’s pretty normal for average welders doing shop and fab work.
Unless you are willing to endanger your life or be moving around constantly with no job security you probably won’t be making 100k a year.

I was able to mature and save up a small nest egg, get access to the Post 9/11 GI bill, and some combat wounds were 100% worth it for the disability check and healthcare lol
That let me go to to college and a great law school with no debt, and led me to where I am today.
Plus, I wouldn’t trade the experiences for anything. Home run.
