Inspection Time

Last Saturday, we met the inspector, to, of course, have the house inspected. Unfortunately, the listing agent didn't know that there was a second electric pole and so she didn't have that one turned on. The second pole powers the well house, so the inspector was not able to finish the inspection.
He completed as much of the inspection as possible and was able to tell us about some relatively minor things. There are some windows hazed, and sticking doors, and the railings aren't right. The biggest thing is that the roof looks to be original. Mr. Cracker joked that we should get the insurance transferred to this house and then pray for a hail storm! LOL Actually, the roof's not of immediate concern--but it is of short-term concern.
This Saturday, tomorrow, we will meet him at the house again, to finish the inspection. I heard from him earlier and he had been by and verified that everything was on, now.
We will be taking the in-laws with us to look at the house. They've only seen the photos we took. I'm anxious for them to see the place and hope they like it as much as we do.

I also heard from my realtor, right before Christmas, that the contract has been executed (formally signed and accepted by all parties). We still haven't heard who the title company is yet, though, which seems weird.
