Is it a bad omen that every time we've gone to look at the house, it's been pouring rain? People say that if it rains on your wedding day, that it's supposed to be a symbol of good luck, so I'm going with that same line of thinking on this whole house-buying experience. Let's just hope it works!
Anyways, today we met the inspector at the house and we went through the entire home to make sure that everything was working and to note any repairs that need to be made. The whole process took some time, but we were glad to have someone go through the house so thoroughly with us. There were a couple of things that we learned will need to be dealt with. Like the nest we found in the attic vent and the giant tree root going through the crawl space, but being the DIYers that we are, B and I are confident that we can take care of most of the issues ourselves.
You could tell that the inside of the home had been pretty well taken care of, but the outdoor maintenance had not really been kept-up with. Nothing that a few replacement siding boards and some fresh paint won't fix though. We're going to be chatting with our real estate agent later to figure out how we want to proceed having now gone through the inspection. Maybe the sellers will be nice and fix everything for us so we don't even have to lift a finger when we move in! :)
