DAMN
Hahahaha....ahaha...aha...
So I jinxed the house. :(
We went back a third time to check it out, this time with parents-in-law in tow. Inside still great. Outside...wait wtf is that?!
The snow had melted so we discovered that the owners had put in a cute little tile patio right around the back of the house. Except the tile and all the ground around the house had sunk about half a foot below the house line. Why? The backyard was graded too high, which meant that the yard was higher than the house. Every time it rained the water would run down the backyard toward the house, sinking the ground, and getting into the foundation and cracking the concrete basement floor.
So yeah, serious damage to the house that would require several tens of thousands of dollars to repair. We don't want to touch the house now. Back to the search, sigh.
And the shittiest thing of all is that the realtor admitted that she knew about it when we asked her and that the owner was going to have it repaired blah blah blah. SHE KNEW ABOUT IT AND DIDN'T TELL US. Wow, seriously? Lying by omission? Do we have the worst luck with realtors or what?
Oh well, screw it. BSG SERIES FINALE tomorrow, and I'm going to watch the hell out of it with a happy heart.
