Almost a year ago, Eric and I went and signed our lives away, well at least our bank accounts when we bought our new house. Well we recently just received the check list for the final walk through, that's right it's almost been a year holy Smokes. I hate the word final. Growing up it meant okay please memorize all this crap for the "final" next week, and if you aren't able to well sorry but you are completely screwed because that is your grade for the class, just awesome! Or the final buzzer would sound and the fact that you were winning 30 seconds ago but not now really sucks, ever think about what you would do if you just had 1 more minute!!! Nowadays Final is just so well final. I don't like when things end, never have, and I don't like not being able to go back and change/fix something. Which brings us to our "final" inspection. So now not only do you spend thousands to buy your house if you don't catch something that could potentially be majorly wrong RIGHT NOW, well once again you are screwed.
This weekend we were sitting on the deck and conveniently a model house is basically in our backyard for the single family homes. Some crazy lady is standing outside with her sign that says "ask me about my Miller and Smith home." Obviously it was only a matter of moments until we couldn't stand the suspense anymore at which point Whitney decided to go get the dirt. After a good 20 minute convo with the crazy lady, Whitney returns. She insists we get a professional to come look at the house before this walk through. Apparently crazy lady has had her roof blow off, her house is on a slant, and she has some water problem which of course you can't see through the walls therefore wouldn't make the check list without a professional. Sooooo here we go, all I see are dollar signs flying out the window, but hey what's new. Obviously it would be better to spend the money now rather than replacing our roof when it flies off...
So on that note, anyone know a home inspector? It's always something isn't it.
