Inspectyerparts...

We had the total home inspection on Friday afternoon and while I wasn't able to be there, Mr. C was and got to speak to the inspector.

The good: the foundation is great for a house this age and dry!Hooray! Not much is needed to be done that grant money doesn't cover.

The bad: we'll need a new roof in about 5 years or so and the garage needs a new roof sooner rather than later.

Overall, they weren't deal breakers but we probably need to start looking at cost and where to cut down so we can put that new roof on before winter.

We close on August 4 and our lease expires on Sept 1. That will give us plenty of time to get things fixed, walls painted and floors refinished if we do that while cleaning the apartment at our leisure.

Mr. C and I plan on starting to pack and clean this weekend. Once the children get back, they can get to work on their rooms. Exciting!! Anyone have color suggestions?
