The building inspection results

The building inspection found many hidden problems, including:

1. the air conditioner compressor was opened up, vandalized, then closed back up. Due to its age, 1995, it will need to be replaced. Add $6,000 to the budget.
2. The beautiful french doors from the office bedroom out to the pool is completely rotted out at the base due to ongoing water exposure from water hitting the patio and splashing back. This will require either replacing the door, or at least some major surgery involving fiberglass. And the addition of a gutter along the roof facia here. Add $2,500 to the budget.
3. Front area gutters have to be replaced
4. The house has aluminum wiring, and it's recommended that the outlets be inspected and replaced where needed.
5. The seal on the refrigerator door has been slashed, possibly vandalism.
6. The dish washer was partially disassembled. Who knows why.
7. There are no GFCI switches installed in bathrooms, kitchen, or at the pool light receptacle.
8. There are wiring deficiencies throughout the home and attic that have to be brought up to code. Add $4,000 to the budget.
   
9. The attic has insufficient insulation and needs to be reinsulated.
10. A couple of windows are cracked and need to be replaced.
11. The garage bathroom area is completely insufficient and needs to be torn out.
12. The back porch structure likely has to be replaced in the short term.

All in all, our inspector found roughly $15,000 in additional repairs that will be required. We went back to the bank on some of this, and received a further price reduction to help offset these issues.
