House Update

We had our inspection last Wednesday. The inspector spent four hours on our little 1,000 square foot house. Luckily there were not any huge surprises. The roof needs to be certified (and possibly replaced), the water heater is 14 years old and needs to be replaced, and a lot of the outlets are not grounded. Those are the big issues.
Our realtor talked with the seller. He is going to replace the water heater (Gas Monkey wants a tankless water heater, so we may be paying the difference to get that). Also, the seller is going to have the roof looked at. He is not going to take care of the grounding. He claims it is original with the older house. Not so sure, but of the three issues, that is the least important. We'd much rather get the roof taken care of. We still have not had the appraisal yet, that is the next step. In short, things are still moving forward.
