Today was the day of the home inspection and the termite inspection. The termite inspection revealed some shelter tubes, which were indicative of some past termite activity. The inspector called for termite treatment. The seller has to pay for that.
The Home Inspector told us we were stealing the house. He figured the value at nearly twice what we will be paying for the house. There were 11 items that he wrote up, some insignificant and some requiring work. He did tell us that if we didn't buy the house, he would be interested. He said the things there were wrong were things that could be easily fixed, for the most part. There were some nails that needed to be nailed back down on the roof. There was a problem with the hot water in the tub. There was some old knob and tube wiring under the house that needed to be replaced by an electrician (wonder if I know any of those.) Ron (home Inspector) said the nothing was inconsistent with a 60 yr old house that had been well maintained. He recommended buying the house, as its value will only go up, and it will "last longer than we will."
We are meeting with our RE Agent tonight to figure out the particulars of the 'where we go from here'.
The adventure continues ...

If you do all that electrical work - hope they could knock a few bucks off the price, eh? Or throw in something extra? (Worth asking for anyway)...
