House update

Here is a view of the house we are looking to purchase. We had the home inspection on October 2. The inspector said it was a pretty clean inspection. There were a few things found "wrong" with it. The driveway would need to be replaced at some point. Loose electrical wire in the panel. Missing GFI outlets in the needed areas. No garage door safety sensors, poor sofit ventilation, and an exposed wire in the garage. There was also a leaking pipe under the laundry tub in the basement, missing smoke detectors in main rooms. We also had a Radon test done to measure the radon level in the house. The Radon level came back high which is pretty normal for the Waukesha area.

We proposed to have all of the electrical work done, the garage safety sensors, and a Radon mitigation system installed. All of our proposals were accepted :) It just seems too easy! So at that point we were waiting for the loan to go through and the septic/well tests. Those tests were done on Friday Oct 7th. We are still waiting for the results. We have turned in all of our loan papers. So really, we are just waiting to hear the results of the well/septic before we proceed and close. We are set to close no later than Nov 1st
