If we're being honest....

 

Well folks. I've been putting off writing this post for a few weeks now, but when I started blogging I wanted to a) be honest about the goings-on in our life and b) wanted to record things that happened, as accurately as they've happened.

 

We've had a really tough time with this new house. We closed exactly two months ago today, and have faced problem after problem. We're starting to feel like this house is cursed, and even worse, that this is not the house we were meant to have. How we missed so many bright flashing signs, is still beyond our comprehension. I can't get into too many details because this is turning into a legal situation, but I will share some photos of what we are currently dealing with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are dealing with water in our basement essentially every.single.time it rains. This house "supposedly" never got rain. Since it was built in 1959, they got water in the basement once. I call bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

 

Yes, I'm pissed. Beyond pissed. This house was perfect for us. It had everything we wanted. Our finished basement is a huge part of our living space. Having it threatened by water every time it rains, basically makes the space unlivable. I won't/can't get into all the details, but suffice it to say that this is not something we care to deal with. The cost to fix this problem is in the thousands of dollars.

We obviously need to fix this problem before we can move forward with any decisions. But sadly, this house is no longer our "forever" home, and we talk about moving, and how soon we can sell and move on with our lives.

It makes me sad that this experience, that was supposed to be so fun and exciting, has been ruined. Wish us luck!!!
