Well, everybody, I am sad to say that the beautiful 194o's casa did not meet the bill of inspection. Many of you maybe wondering "why? it is so cute!" well...don't be deceived by its antique, alluring exterior. You will only end up getting hurt! Here is a list of all that is wrong with it that the inspector found last night. Remember, this is on top of all the aesthetic work (refinishing all the floors, redoing two bathrooms, tiling and redoing all the cabinets in the kitchen, painting every nook and crany both inside and outside, new windows, reframing outside windows due to rot, guttering and possible bracing of the house due to settling).
- None of the outlets were grounded except those used for appliances and some of the electrical was circa 1940
- The floors under both bathrooms were rotted
- The rot in one of the bathrooms had reached a jost and thus that part of the house was starting to collapse
- All the electric in the attic was not up to code meaning FIRE hazard
- Their was a moisture point found by one of the bathrooms (not sure why, but not good)
- Woodfloor by one of the back doors was rotted and needed to be replaced
Although we were going to get the house for a phenomenal deal, all the work and money we would put into the house would be well over what the house is worth. So, I bid you ado sweet house #3. So for now the bunkhouse (cabin in the woods, little red barn) is where we will call home!

I am so sorry. I loved that house, too - just from the pictures! It'll be ok, though. You will find something! How big is the red cabin? I see it has satellite TV, at least! Let me know if you need help with anything!
It is one little room, with a small mini fridge and a microwave and a bathroom. It is quaint and easy to clean :) It does have satellite, so that is definitely a treat! I will let you know if I do need anything!
So sorry, girl. Sometimes...life just throws you a curve ball and you need to shop for a bigger glove. But, gloves come in all shapes and God sizes! :) Keep praying.
Bummer, I had no idea the house was "atheistic". But I can see why that would be a problem, you don't want to raise Luna in such a Godless environment. Now you just need to find a good Christian house.
