The Dreaded Inspection...

The inspection we got was absolutely fabulous. Darryl E Chandler is the guys name, and we would highly reccommend this guy to any one who might be closing on a house in the state of Maine! The inspection set us back $300.00. The home inspection went mostly as planned. The biggest shocker was finding out that we would need to replace a section of foundation wall. Everything else we pretty much knew about. The guy flips houses for a living, and he said that he would probably not take on such a big project for one of his personal flips, because he couldn't flip it fast enough to make his money back, but he said for what we are doing, it was a good price and that the house had "good bones". So we moved on to closing. Oh yeah, while we were waiting for the inspector to show up we met our new neighbor for the first time. His name is James. Him and his wife have two young boys. We were really psyched to meet him. He told us that his wife and him and been praying hard for good neighbors, and they were really happy that we were the ones who bought the place. He was also glad that the person who bought the house was going to care for the house and make improvements on it. The house has been through several owners since they have lived next door. They even dubbed the back room "the screaming room" because the last couple that lived there would scream at each other (loudly) in that room! So needless to say, it is really cool to be the answer to someone else's prayer. Oh yeah, and the neighbor who lives behind us, we know her and her husband. I used to attend a women's group that she also attended. And the lady who does my quilts lives down the street, and she is also a believer. Just last night I met a woman who lives down at the end of the street, and she is a follower of Jesus and she told me that our neighbor two doors down is a too. Wow! Can't wait to see what God has in store for this neighborhood and this town!
