When we had the inspection done, or appraisal...I can't remember which. They pointed out a couple things that needed to be fixed before selling. There was a deck board with a chunk out of it, part of the fascia was missing, and the paint was chipping off the inside walls of the deck. Scott fixed the deck board and put up a piece of fascia where it was missing. We weren't sure what exactly they wanted us to do with the deck but Scott said he'd just power wash it and then use my Dad's paint sprayer and spray a coat on super fast. I didn't want to spend any money on it so I said we could just use whatever paint we have left over from all the work we've done. Surely there had to be some white or tan to use on it. As we were going through the garage (finally) I found an almost full can of white exterior paint. Perfect! So, Scott power washed the deck last night and will probably paint it today when he gets home from work. Then I guess the inspector has to come back out to check it? I dunno.
As far as the house we're buying, they were supposed to contact our sellers and schedule the appraisal last week. It never happened. So yesterday I spoke with our sellers and got phone numbers corrected and all that and it is now scheduled for Thursday. This part scares me a bit because if the appraisal comes in low...that's all we can get the loan for, even tho we already agreed on a price. So hopefully it will be higher or right around the amount we offered. If its too much lower we'll obviously have to try and negotiate but I'm not sure how much these people are going to want to. Guess we'll see...
So excited to call this house home!
