I don't buy into the "Men" theory... My house is a rock and I waived home inspection to speed up the sale... Purchase 119,000 apraisial I just got thurs 312,000 built in 48...

Have any of you ever seen the show "If Walls Could Talk"? Its on HGTV and its about really old homes that people have redone and all the things they learn about the history of the homes and the people that used to live in them. I really like it but I am both a history and design nerd. If you watch it you might get some cool period design ideas if you want to go in that direction for decoration.

I've been hinting around about this for a bit now. Here's some pics of the crap we're dealing with.

At least we've got it under control enough that now we're actually living in the damn thing.

To bring random folks up to speed: we bought a 94 year old house. Yes, we realized it was going to need some TLC, but damn. The chick that owned it before us lied on the paperwork, as did the realtors. It has plumbing issues out the yingyang. We signed on it Feb 23, but couldn't actually move into it until this past week. The furnace didn't work, the water heater didn't work, and we had 28 leaks. So, here are pictures of the hole in my livingroom ceiling/bathroom floor. We have retained an attorney:thumbsup:

I hope your work is better than the shoemaker before you...

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

LOL! That's actually a stopgap measure put in place so we could shower without soaking the livingroom floor. We're using it to measure just how much water is leaking out.

waterdamage is the worst, especially on drywall.

i have no good advice, but goodluck!

rub it in whosevers face that didnt want the inspection.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

It was my fiance. And I think we all know what I'm going to rub in his face.

i dont know if this is pervy or gross.

it can be construed both ways.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

It's pervy. It's only gross if you don't like to go downtown.
