Things are progressing Just Fine with the Castle House.

We had the home inspector out yesterday — for five hours! Whew! He didn’t find any deal killers, but he did find a couple of big things I didn’t see before.

• The rear deck supports are rusting at the base. Need to clean, paint and seal in cement.
• The deck needs better structural support (cross-bracing).
• There is another leak under the crawlspace. The foundation needs waterproofing.
• There are some A/C lines that need better insulation
• There are some electrical wiring problems in the breaker box
• The wood siding is part of a class action lawsuit whose settlement funds are expired

The good news: No fake stucco!
The bad news: Need a waterproofer! (And maybe new siding.)
