Rossolee Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Looks like Sarah and I bought a home last night! Off shortly for the home inspection, and barring any surprises it'll be all signed up today! It took us awhile to find something, but we're psyched we'll be able to stay in our neighborhood.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 . Joys of new home ownership! I have become intimately familiar with the processes of sewage ejector pumps. But damn, it's worth it. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Here's a tip:Always make sure that you clear the snow off of the top of your hot tub gazeebo or the gazeebo will collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossolee Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 May have spoken to soon A few issues need to be resolved after the home inspection. Hope things go well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Rossolee: Most home inspections turn up "defects" of some sort. Quite often, they're really inconsequential. A good home inspector will note absolutely everything, just so you're aware, but often they are really minor things, or even things that don't need to be remediated at all if you don't want to bother. Talk to the home inspector about the report before you get discouraged or spend any money. (You can also use that report, however, as a bargaining tool when purchasing the house, as I assume that you made it a condition of closing that the inspection doesn't turn up anything too bad. You can certainly suggest that the inspection did turn up some bad defects, therefore, reduce the final sale price by "x".) Either way, good for you purchasing a home. Doesn't it make you feel like a real grown-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossolee Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I doubt this is going to happen, unless the owner is willing to replace the knob and tube wiring. Since the electrical in the house has this, getting insurance is sketchy. So Weirdness you'll just have to make do and puke on the parquet As for Pounder... from Culligan he became a manager at a organic grocery store in Mississauga. They have just gone out of business...
