With activity like that I'd be tempted to hold out for a cash buyer, no contingences, no inspections - close in 30 days.

(well, you can always hope for - )

That is an insane showing timeline. Makes me wonder what that house looks like. Good luck with the sale.

If so, ask that cute neighbor lady to come over and help you -

If I had a cute neighbor lady I totally would, that is most excellent advice.

It's not amazing townhouse (built in '79). I did remodeled to make it looks nice... but biggest thing that makes ppl want to check my place is location. Great safe area and not ghetto. Close to freeway, but not close enough to hear the noise. Shopping area (including home improvement stores) are within 1~2 miles range.

Had the informational meeting about that opening I mentioned the other day. Probably not a great team. Also nowhere related to autonomous vehicles.

They do stuff with CANBUS/OBD, but the team itself sounded not great, so probably not worth even trying.

OK, go with plan B - call an electrician -

Heh.

This advice reminds me of a couple years back when my parents had a cute neighbor with a modified WRX and older RX7 FC.

Too bad she moved away.

Fortunately I got a 4 pack of bulbs, so I do have enough.

The problem is that my apartment manager originally had told me for this particular light fixture and the hallway one, she wanted me to have her/her husband replace bulbs if they blow out.

Thing is with COVID going on I'd rather not have them come in unless there's an emergency since they're a bit older and have an older relative (90 or so year old dude who also lives in the building), so I'm considering just DIY'ing it and taking the consequences, if any, whenever I move out.

But I'm not a great home DIY-er so I'm hesitant to try removing the fixture (since I believe it's made with glass) in case it breaks...

Any chance one of you home DIY-ers can help me identify the level of difficulty removing the fixture/housing so I can replace the bulbs?

I see four screws on it, but they almost look like they're for the part of the fixture connected to the ceiling rather than the cover itself. I'm _hoping_ the cover itself can be unscrewed separately from the ceiling housing with the screws for bulb replacement but not entirely sure.

This is the fixture:

if it's 6", single bulb, they still make them.

Had a neighbor that the next step was a trash can full of water and a cinder block...
