House looks nice Hav , Good luck with it .
Thanks Nick.
I found a 4" x 12" x 12' long beam today, that had dryrot half way through it. I called the termite inspector who signed off on the termite repairs, and asked him how this passed inspection. He then said the old owner was suppose to fix it all, and assumed they had done the job completely, and tried to have me go after the old owner. I told him he signed off on the inspection, therefore it is now his responsibility to fix. He reluctantly said he would be over to discuss this issue with me tomorrow. Might be time to file suit on this idiot.

I'd keep looking to see what else got passed over.

I would hire a good independent house inspector. Shame , That's a nice looking house .
Either that or stuff him, and put him next to the fish, and the moose .

We had 3 home inspectors, but they tell you up front that any dry rot or termite damage is not under their scope of work. This is all under the termite inspection, which I only found out after the purchase that he is friends with the sellers.
Actually, everything the previous owner touched was done incorrectly. He thought he knew house repair. He mixed black and white wires in all the walls and light fixtures, failed to install GFI's on all outside pool equipment, cemented around the sprinkler pipe valves, installed door knobs backwards, put the A/C filter on the wrong side of the A/C, tried sealing 1 1/2" drain lines with 1 3/4" caps, didn't use tape when joining drywall in the garage, and lots of other expensive, unnecessary crap.
I wanted a challenge and boy did I get it!

I've spent big bucks paying my brother in law to go over every inch of wire inside the house. Yesterday, I wall mounted two TV's, added plugs for all the electronics in several walls, received two bids for a new roof, and installed blinds on the garage window. Also, termite guy came over and I was ready to go to battle. I found out the guy is a nice, church going fellow who is friends with my brother in law. He is sending a crew over Saturday to replace that rotten beam.
And crown molding to boot. Nice. You still living in Havasu or up in AZ?
I dry packed a shower pan today. Old one was crap. Haven't done that for years.
Went and bought some multi-purpose adhesive for a turf job, same customer I did 1500 sqft of costco click strand, I couldn't remember what the spread rate for gluedown crapet was. Had to look it up. lol
Now I'm cleaning my SRC9. Total break down. Making sure theres no prints on my ammo.

Ern, I still have my place at lake Havasu, but too busy to go out there and play.
I installed two oil rubbed bronze faucets and drain lines today, and I'm proud to say I didn't have one leak. Also got my new roof prices today, which include ripping off the concrete tiles.
$24,000
$23,000
$17,000.
Hmmm, if the written contract is exact, I'm going for the lowest bid. He was referred by my new neighbor, a retired contractor. He is returning a favor to me since I just saved him $4,000 on plantation shutters.

Still in the 90s today and tomorrow . today marks a heatwave . 3 days of 90 or more in a row .
I did some cleaning, fiddles with 3D rendering, and now I'm looking out in my yard. Someone's horses must have gotten loose and they are in my yard grazing. My rottweiler is going berserk over it. She's hiding in the car port and barking at them.
