Inspector Gadget -- Suck my a**

Ok, so it really isn't his fault, but it appears as though this home will not pass inspection by terms that are acceptable to our lending institution... I think we may be back to the drawing board... Apart from the A/C not working, the garage pad missing some gravel underneath it, the inability to get to the crawlspace because of all the overgrowth, and the deck apparently in some disrepair (perhaps sinking and sloping slightly to the left), I just don't see what the damn problem is...

It's amazing the things you don't see and don't pay attention to when you have that 'angels singing in the choir' moment... It's a $250 mistake that we won't make again and compared to $4000-$5000 worth of repairs we'd have to make, I guess it was a pretty cheap mistake. We're still waiting to see if the current owner will make these repairs, but it doesn't look so good right now.

However, there is a little light at the end of the tunnel... we're going to look at another house within the next couple of days that has some promise... it's bigger, the yard is a little flatter, and it's a little cheaper. On the downside, there is no huge deck and no garage, but those things can be added.

Here are some pics of it...










Ok, round 2... ding, ding
