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.
