Home Inspection!

We had our inspection yesterday afternoon! I was SO worried that there would be something HUGE that we couldn't see that could be a deal breaker. Something like mold. Luckily there wasn't. I was very relieved. We really liked our inspector. He explained everything very well and he gave us a binder to keep for the house. It has checklists of things we should do seasonally and all sorts of other helpful things. There's also a DVD with instructions for common home repairs. Some of the things in the binder are things I would have never thought of, so I'm really glad he gave it to us.

Anyway, the inspection went well overall. The inspector noticed that the master bathroom didn't have a door hung. We've been in the house 3 times & no one had noticed! The sprinkler system has been recalled so we'll need to replace that. The biggie was that the heat pump isn't working properly. We don't know right now if it just needs to be serviced or if it needs to be replaced. Obviously, we're hoping it just needs to be serviced. We're planning to have to replace it though. We like to plan for the worst & hope for the best. If we have to replace it, it could cost several thousand dollars. That could be my appliances! Everything else were minor things that will either cost a little here & there to fix (or free, because my dad can do it) or that we already knew about. 

If this was a normal sale, we would just have the seller fix things or lower our offer. Since this is a foreclosure, we'll be fixing everything. The inspection was more for our information. 

Our appraisal is next, then we wait for more papers to sigh basically. We close in just 20 days!
