House Pictures (Finally)

Well, we had our inspection and there were, unfortunately, some problems. The only major issue is that a few of the breakers are not wired properly, which could cause power surges, and the two tiny bed rooms do not have any power running to them whatsoever - no lights, no electricity to any of the (many) outlets. Otherwise there were just some minor issues we can fix ourselves or just let slide: the pool light is out, there's a slight gap between the toe boards and the floor, there's a few deep scratches on the wood laminate (which we will eventually replace, anyway) in the living room, the screens on the eaves needs to be replaced, and the pressure gauge on the pool pump needs to be replaced. Hopefully, the electrician who did the wiring for the house will honor his work and repair what was not up-to-code, but even if he won't, if they'll give us a few thousand dollars off I know a very reliable electrician who will give us a good price (his wonderful wife sings with my mom's band).

Of course, the seller could say "Screw it" and refuse to lower the price or fix the electrical issue, in which case we'll have to withdraw our offer. I'm hoping that won't happen and I don't anticipate it happening with a problem that big, but you never can tell.

I didn't take any pictures of the two tiny bedrooms, because they're just smaller versions of the "master" bedroom. Oh, there's also a little one car garage in the back that hasn't been mold remediated yet, but I didn't take any pictures of it because it's nothing spectacular and we'll probably just use it for pool supply storage.

It's pretty weird to think that we might actually have our own home again soon. In fact, it's feeling downright surreal and I'm having some trouble wrapping my mind around the concept; we've been homeless for such a long time now and it's strange to think about a new home when we lived at our house on Wilton Drive for so little time.
