We had our inspection today. I was a bundle of nerves the whole time. Wondering if there was deep, hidden and expensive secrets about our house. Our good friend Rodney inspected it for us. He's been doing building inspections for 20+ years and was so competent.
So, the good news is there isn't any major issues with the house, we didn't expect there to be. There are some minor repairs/maintenance that will need attention in the upcoming months. But these are managable.
I still can't believe that we are going to own a home. We now will have a never ending project. One of my first (& quite time consuming) projects will be dealing with the paneling. There is nasty paneling in quite a few sections (living room, dining room and stairs) of the house - yuck! To compensate there is really lovely hardwood floors and beautiful wood trim & doors throughout. Lots of character with some distasteful 70's paneling thrown in. Welcome to the world of home ownership.
It's been an emotional roller coaster week for me as this whole process and commitment sinks in.
I'll post photos when I have a chance. Took tons today at the inspection.
