Now What??

We had the home inspected this morning. It could have been worse, but it could have been better. Evidently, there’s water leaking into the basement wall from a poorly placed gutter. This has probably been going on for some time, and it’s possible that mold is growing, or that the wall has rotted. It can’t be known until the wall is taken apart and inspected thoroughly. Also, the garage is in a very fragile state, with a sagging roof and broken support beams. It could cave in under the weight of heavy snow. The roof of the house, although sagging under the weight of the tile, is in fairly good condition. There are a few tiles that need replacing. The roof over the covered patio also needs replacing.
So there you go. I suppose it’s no big surprise, considering the age of the house. But it seems that the current owner isn’t interested in fixing anything. At this point we have to re-negotiate. It’s so hard to know what to do!
