The travails of house buying
I was supposed to close on my first house yesterday. This was to have been a great day for me. I was very excited. Unfortunately it all went to shit big time.
The builder of the house had put off finishing it to the very last minute. Yesterday morning at 9:30 there was no power running to the bedrooms because they had not installed the circuits yet for an example. We were supposed to close at 3:00.
The delay had forced the home inspector to wait to the last minute to do his thing. He discovered a serious problem. In the six weeks since I signed a contract on the house, the thing started to fall apart.
So in the end, I did not buy the house. Brand new houses are not supposed to be breaking in half. Just my opinion.

Bummer! Sorry it didn't work out.
Oh no!! The picture of the outside looked really nice. What a drag. Is there anything else on the market that isn't broken? :-)
Ouch. Sorry to hear this. But better you find out now than in a year when a wall collapses. good luck in the hunt!
doesn't look so bad to me, kind of artistic the way it is patched up.
