House Grumbles

Yesterday was the house inspection, and the report was not as positive as we hoped it would be. We were so excited to find a little home with new windows, furnace, air, and water heater, and we thought every other major thing would be okay as well. Unfortunately the roof and electrical are big problems, like several thousand dollars that would have to be spent fairly soon. I'm pretty disappointed. I was convinced that it was a sturdy little house with important components in good condition but with a few cosmetic issues that could be addressed with a moderate amount of money and some hard work. It seems that is not the case. Joshua and I haven't made any decisions for sure yet, but it's not looking good. If we're going to buy a home, we need to find it in the next two weeks. Lots to think about.
