We had our house inspection at 8:30 this morning. We had to leave the house at 7:00 am. I have heard about this thing people call "morning" but it really is not in my realm of experience, so today was a challenge. However, we made it in time and the inspection was very interesting. Kevin has the scoop--including pictures! It went well. The roof needs more work (read: replacement) than we thought but aside from a couple of other minor issues there aren't too many things wrong with a house. Impressive for a place built in 1928 (or 29 depending on who you ask).
Posted by Shelby at August 24, 2004 09:50 PMWow, Shelby! That place is beautiful! I can't believe how untouched everything looks, like it's still 1928. So is that a fridge or an icebox? And I love the fireplace, too! Congratulations on a relatively painless inspection! :-)
Posted by: Annastazia at August 25, 2004 10:58 AMThanks Staz. The current owners were very into historical restoration and brought the house up to the great condition it's in now. They even had reproduction light fixtures and push button switches made and installed. The fireplace is currently walled off, unfortunately, so it would take a little work to even put a fake gas one in (although there is already a gas line). The fridge is a fridge designed to look like an antique. However, we both dislike it so it's going with the current owners to their new place. We're already shopping for one with my dream feature--chilled water in the door (my needs are simple).

I love the bathroom and the build in draws in the closet most of all!
Scout should LOVE that backyard.
