Today's word "Issues"

Sooooo... The house has some mold issues, some drainage issues, an air conditioning issue, and a sprinkler issue. 1. MOLD. It appears that in the laundry room the water damage we saw was actually caused by what appears at the moment to be a slow leak some where. There is mold all around the back side of the laundry, into the hall, the pantry and in the master bath by the shower. It will require tearing out the lower two foot of wall and plastic-ing that part of the house off while it gets sprayed down with bleach and dried out properly. Then the wall that's been torn out will have to be replaced and repainted. 2. DRAINAGE. The back yard kind of drains into the house- or rather the skirting in the house. Not a big deal it will just require some dirt/drainage work to be some this summer some time. 3. AIR CONDITIONING. The house is listed as having "central air" and it should- but it doesn't. At least it doesn't any more. The previous owner or some other person removed the a/c unit. Thanks a lot dickweed! I am calling to get estimates on how much it is to replace the unit- but my guess is some where between $1000 and $1800. Can we say OUCH! Well it does have the house listed as having it so we may not be responsible to replace it. 4. SPRINKLER. There is an automatic sprinkler system- yay! The system on the back side of the house is put WAY to close the house. I mean they point into the yard, but the sprinklers are seriously less than 3 inches from the house. That will cost about $200 to have fixed professionally. I took some pictures today to take you on a full photo tour of the house via facebook. We will have to decide now if we want to go ahead with the sale of the house or if its going to cost to much out of pocket to fix. Yet an other issue is money- its limited! So tonight when James gets home we will talk about if we want to move forward or scrap it and start over. I HATE ISSUES!!!!
