Sigh. Looks like we're passing on the house.

[WillParkinson]

We love it but considering the original owner ran out of cash and there's so much still undone or in need of repair, we're afraid the property is going to turn into a money pit.

So it's back to looking.

1. In general a house is a large hole in the ground into which you shovel money.

2. probably for the best..it looked haunted anyway n/t

That's nothing new. :)

4. To be honest, I think you're doing the right thing.

From the pictures you posted yesterday, it looked like the place needed a LOT of work. And since the owner was working without plans or permits, who knows how far outside-of-code things were. I know you loved the place, but this is the right thing to do.

10. I agree with Bunny.

You will find something better! Good luck! :hi:

[freshwest]

14. I agree too. I thought you'd already signed into it so I didn't post on the previous thread with pix

I'm sure you will find something much better. Good luck.

5. Aw, that's such a bummer. Hopefully the right house for you is just around the corner!

:hug:

6. I know you're disappointed, my dear WillParkinson...

I understand that too...

It would certainly turn into a money pit, and you don't need that.

Keep looking!

Your house is out there, and you will find it, I'm sure.

:hug:

7. Probably for the best -- there is a better one just waiting for you to find it.

Keep us posted.

9. You mean you don't want to change your name to "Mr. Blandings"?

:P

Oh well, an even better one will pop up for y'all :hi:

12. That's one of my favorite movies. I'm glad Will is passing on that role.

[kentauros]

13. At least he's not going through eight different engineers telling him to

"Tear it down!" :rofl:

[elleng]

11. Sorry, I'm sure you're disappointed,

but I expect you'll look back on this decision as a good one, down the road. Home-ownership can be very challenging, and fortunately you're aware of this challenge, early.
:thumbsup:

16. There's ALWAYS another house....

always.

Good luck in your search! You'll find something you love. :)
