The Deal Is Off
Posted by Kate on Wednesday, October 18, 2006We withdrew our offer to buy the house with the teal dining room. Unfortunately the house needed more work than we were willing to put into it. Our inspector said that he thought the floor in the master bedroom and bathroom was starting to sag because the wall was not built directly above the wall below it. Never mind the other problems and the fact that we didn't even get a complete inspection because the owner hadn't paid her bills and the water and electricity had been shut off. The builder is apparently a jerk and maybe in cahoots with whomever was supposed to inspect it in 2003 when it was first built.
Which really sucks because it was definitely the nicest looking house I have seen so far. I guess it ties with the house with the wet crawlspace. Both really great looking houses, same incompetent builder. So we lose our inspection money and are back out in the world of house-searching. I saw five more homes this morning. Nothing very interesting.
