This was 2 years ago, it is our first house. Basically, we didnt know any better, and the people we were asking questions of (eg: My parents) were useless, not giving us any real idea of what to look for, be careful of, etc.
We got the house inspected, it got a clean bill of health, then we moved in and slowly but surely started discovering problems.
Did i mention that our first winter there, the furnace (which passe dinspection :rolleyes: ) stopped working during a cold snap that lasted a week. the internal temperature of the house dropped to about 30 on most days, unless we had a spcae heater and several candles going in that room. We actually turned on the oven and left it open for a half hour ata time jsut to try and keep the place warm. We lost 5 fish and a pet mouse to the cold. thnak god the dog was okay, as were our rats at the time.
And THANK GOD Lily wasnt born yet.
