Witness Protection Plan

Spot on Henry, I think he called it measuring the split.

 

It's about time? :tyrannosaurus:

That whole work thingie sucks eh.

 

I found this place because someone posted a link on the City-Data megaboard.
I probably won't be the only one.

 

Welcome eaton53. That's how I ended up here too.

 

Welcome eaton53.

 

Me Too !

I remember a few years ago there was a forum like this and it got kinda nasty, just a bit to political for me.

 

I suspect that was Newszap; truly a horrible experience for all of us. This site has always been like coming home to spend quality time with people you really like.

 

Yep, That was it.

 

Hey Emily....Well, it is in the sellers court now. We sent a "fixit" letter based on the home inspection and a subsequent A/C inspection. He has 5 days to respond. We have been told that the odds are not in our favor for having this seller fix anything. We will see. It wasn't listed as an "as is" property, so I guess anything can happen.

At lunch today (it's J's bday and we both took the day off work) we were talking about how we missed out on all this home buying "fun" when we bought our current home. We bought new construction then.

 

oh, and WELCOME to all the folks who just found this site.

 

I believe the requests were reasonable (remember this was not an "as is" property) - replace the a/c, bring the electrical issues up to code, fix the busted sprinklers, and fix the non-standard roof repair that had been made in the past.

It's probably for the best that this fell through.

But, back to the thread -
BP: any word on if the info we sent to Jeff is going to be made into an article?

 

Nothing yet V but as soon as I hear, i'll post a link to it.

 

Wheather it says it in a listing or not, really all preowned houses are sold as is. No guarantees.

 

True. It's all a crap shoot, even new construction can have issues.
