At the risk of boring my readership (now averagingTWELVE HITS per day!) Here's the latest on the house....
I went to look at it again today at 2:00. The garage kinda sux, the roof is framed incorrectly and it's kinda.. well.... busted and stuff.
The electrical system is 60-AMP fuse box that's from 1900.
It's a teeny bit loppy, and most of the flooring in the kitchen and the living room is kinda fun-house-like. That is to be expected in a 103 year old house, so I ain't bitching too much about that.
I think the last offer I said was something like:
Ok - My highest is 217 and his lowest is 220. I can meet in the middle at 218.5 and agree to the December 15th closing, but only if he updates the electrical to 100-AMP.
HE sez that he'll do the 218.5 but he ain't going to update the electrical system.
Jesus. Is he really going to blow the deal for 1500? I think I'll let him if he wants to.
I think my final thought on the matter is what I will call back with tomorrow.
I'm going to return to my offer of 218.5, but only if the electric is updated. I'll leave that offer open for 48 hours - He can take it or leave it.
House buying sux.
