OK LofA - Inspector came through the albatross today. I guess the question of the day would be what exactly isn't going to complete sh** in the house? They said they put a new roof on it. Well, apparently they waited too long because water has been leaking down into the siding for many years. Inspector said anyone with even a hint of allergies would be in agony. Mold palace my friend! Windows completely rotted out and pretty much ready to fall out (one good blow should do it). There was actually GRASS growing in a couple of the top level windows! Oh yes, termites too. Yummy! Took a looksee in the refrigerator. Be having nightmares for a while now. I think whatever was growing through that crack under the bottom drawers look at me and winked! Strange reddish puddle leaking from underneath the fridge too. Moved a bit of boxes and stuff throughout the house stored against the walls, and lo and behold, stains stains stains! Water stains, cracks, bugs, etc. all hiding nicely. Oh yeah, and the furnace is 20 years old and hasn't been maintenanced EVER! No blue flames either. "New" air conditioner is plugged into a 20 amp box, wires just run through a hole in the wall that was never sealed. Every sink has a slow leak. Gutters outside are so bowed it looks like the house is smiling at you. Large tree near the house with roots completely under the house. I could go on and on here. This type of thing really gets to me because the owner basically is a liar. If I ever sold a house I owned, I would be completely and utterly honest about all the problems it had. Making money is good, but not at the expense of others. All I have to say is thank God for inspectors or we would have been taken but good!
Yorick - was getting ready to e-mail you. Well, I guess now it will be a short e-mail! Are you still at baby house?
