House and Pest Reports, done!

Well, the process is almost done, at least they buying part.
Today was our house inspection, he walked around, in, out and on the house. Then checked all the plugs and this and that. Basically, every little thing was touched and looked at.
He was a great guy and answered any and all questions we threw at him. Then he quickly typed and sent over the report to us tonight.

Everything came back great overall. There are a few minor issues, but nothing screaming.

At some point the ex-owners built a external wood chimney to go over the metal chimney stack, it's poorly done and probably holding water, so it needs to go.

The sprinkler system is not working properly, pressures off, broken heads and the rear is completely disconnected.

At some point there was a water leak under the kitchen sink, so the bottom of the cabinet needs to be replaced. Problem here is the cabinets, top and bottom are wonky, and cheap. So it looks like we may just replace all the cabinet and counter tops. (Yay, dream kitchen done cheap!)

The bathrooms need a little attention with the old shower backings. We may replace the panels in the front bath and then re-caulk the back bath.


The positives were great as well.
The sinks don't leak, even when completely full, and the faucets don't leak.
AC/Heating was new in 03' and it both worked great.
Roof is fairly new and done very well.
Wiring and electrical is sound.
Attic has good insulation and now water damage to be found from anything.


So now FIL is working on paper work, finalizing thing at the bank and hopefully moving up the closing date. Our only hold back might be the pest report. It came back with some dry-rot issues on the outside. But in reviewing those today, they are extremely minor and nothing is structural. So as long as the bank doesn't require a cleared pest report we can let it go. But if we have to have it fixed first, it will delay things a little.
