Rotten Deal

To say the least! The inspection didn't go so well, on the house we were hoping to buy in Stony Plain. Most of the wood used in building the home, were quite old and rotting! They used timber (tree logs) for support beams, rather than lumber! There was lots of corners cut on repairing things such as sagging beams. The jacuzzi's electrical wasn't grounded (or something), so if the breaker went, you could get electricuted while taking a bubble bath! The list goes on and on.

We're quite disappointed, as we were really hoping to have this go through... We were even more excited that we were actually going to be able to buy a HOUSE rather than a townhouse/condo! So, we're back to looking at townhouses in Edmonton. We'll see how that goes. Hopefully, a good opportunity comes up for us... preferably a house... and even better if it were in Stony Plain!
