I had been house shopping for about three weeks, when I thought I hadfound the dwelling of my dreams, and i hadn’t yet had any inspections done, but I’d seen the main part of the house as well as I was satisfied with it, but when I advised having inspections done, the realtor told me I needed to take a closer look, then she told me before I made any decision, I needed to look into the attic, as well as the basement, and the attic was little dark as well as seriously hot, although I knew with some insulation as well as putting a ventilation fan in the roof, it would take care of some of the heat.
The basement however, was a completely bizarre story, not only was it dark as well as dank, but even before we got to the bottom the steps, the realtor told me I had to stoop.
Stoop wasn’t even the word. I had to duck to get under the floor as well as down the rest of the steps, as well as stay down as I walked through the basement. I was only 5’4″, as well as the basement ceiling was so low that it was surprising they were even able to get a boiler into the basement. The worst part of the basement, was that it was small as well as the air duct was taking up some of the headspace. I backed off on having the inspections done, as well as told her I needed to keep looking. I needed a house that had excellent Heating as well as A/C with a basement as well as attic that I could turn into usable rooms. The realtor nodded, as well as she changed my criteria to now include excellent Heating as well as A/C as well as usable basement as well as attic.
