Home Inspection
Jun. 23rd, 2006 11:14 amThe house inspector we hired turned out to be the same guy that did the house the last time it was sold. SQUEEE! He had his folder from last time!
We did the home inspection yesterday. Rather than go with the SO of a friend of mine, we went with someone that has years of experience and a big freakin’ structural engineering background. He’s an older German buy (insert your “German’s make the best engineers” reference here). He brought in a subcontractor to do the pest inspection, and that guy also did the house the previous time.
So we had two insanely anal retentive men inspecting every inch of the place, carrying their files from the last time they did the inspection. They were able to cross-compare and stuff. Rox!
We’ll get the report in a few days, but most of the stuff they told the previous owners to fix has been fixed. There are some new problems, but nothing that can’t be fixed by the owner (and we’re going to demand they FIX EVERYTHING) before we complete the sale.
