Home Inspection

On Saturday, we had a very busy day. That morning I was able to have an hour visit with Jenelle. Have not seen her in two years. It was nice to catch up with her and hear what has been going on in her life the past two years.

We also scheduled our home inspection for the house we are buying. We went over thursday to check the water, but it was not turned on yet. When we went friday, it definately was turned on. We were ready to see if the inspector would find anything that we already did not know about. The inspector found the septic, but we have no idea what kind of septic it is. It might not have a cap for pumping. It might have to be dug up with a backhoe and pumped. The good thing is that the kitchen is on its own. There were somethings that we thought were kind of stupid that he wrote up. It is a foreclosed home, do you really think there will be light bulbs. He said we were deficient in that. So no one has been living there in at least 6 months, do you really think that the leaves would be removed away from the house. So there were a lot of little stupid things like that. However, the house is in good shape and good bones. I cannot wait till we move in. We will be out of our place by mid June.

We have a lot to do once we close. Upgrade electrical panel, paint, replace doors, fix doors, floor, and the two biggest things - move washer and dryer to garage, and remodel the kitchen (which includes knocking out a wall).

Definately will be posting pictures once we get started on the work.
