Simple things are worth blogging about
26 Nov
Well I may have spoken too soon it seem as if the joist package in the house has more problems than I anticipated. I guess I should have hired a home inspector but that is something that I am quite capable of doing, its just that as I am older and not as flexible and healthy as I used to be I did not get under the house to see all the damage as I went on what I could feel beneath my feet when I walked thru the place. There was even discussion about a french drain installation because of some water that was pooling up around the foundation that could be a future problem. But I am still not angry that I didn’t do that because I still will have a good home for someone to live in and not much money involved. The housing market has really put a hurting on a lot of good people and there are bargains to be had is you do your homework, I had been looking at this property for 6 months and finally made a deal 0n it with right at $50000.00 less than what the asking price was. I will spend about 10,000 to get it in good shape and by the time the housing crunch is over I will be sitting pretty with free piece of property.
