We got preliminary word on the inspection, with one expected result, one confusing result, and one just plain weird result.
- Expected: furnace not working. Colin’s got an electric furnace that seems to have a flaky breaker. When we went over to check the house on Saturday, the furnace was off. We went downstairs and tried flipping the breaker about 30 times, as repeatedly flipping the breaker had seemed to fix things in the past. But this time no go. So we knew they’d find that.
- Confusing: moisture content of the bathroom floor was 31%, and its’ only supposed to be up to 20%. We have no idea how the moisture content of the floor could get high like that, nor what you would be supposed to do to fix it. Hopefully not something like rip out the floor, replace all the plumbing, and replace with a new floor.
- Just plain weird: stain in the basement that it looks like somebody tried to wipe up. It looks like blood. Do they need to call in a forensics expert. Huh?? Uh, no, that’s paint. Ok, folks, cut back on the CSI-watching now.
So, we’ll have word on any demands they have hopefully today. One thing we know is that they won’t be able to get approval for anything over their bid price for repairs, so if they want something done, they’ll want us to foot the bill.
More later…
