Houses 2 & 3

So tonight we are going to look at houses number 2 & 3.  Number 1 was bad, really bad.  The guy who lived there with his son did all these little repairs to try to make the house look good but I think it just made it worse.  The downstairs bathroom had a nice new toilet, Sink with one of those bowls that sit on top of the stand and a beautiful mirror cabinet thing.  But then the wall was covered with this crappy wall paper and the tile on the floor and half of the wall was all beat up and did not meet the wall paper.  The tub was also old and crappy.  All the downstairs rooms had been painted but the guy had not even bothered to remove any nails or screws he just painted over them. The carpet was just nailed down with no pad underneath and it was crappy carpet.  Then you go upstairs and nothing had been done, right in the stairwell the wall had holes all over it and was really dirty.  The roof and the wall did not meet you could see the insulation it was so bad.  I can't believe how much he was asking for that house. The basement was bad too, you could tell the one wall leaked and there where pipes leaking as well.  The wall that leaked also had mold all over it, I don't know how this guy expects to sell his house.

We are really hoping that these next two houses are better, I will post more once we get back tonight.

After:
House number 2
Good: Had 4 bedrooms and a nice big garage and back porch, Two bathrooms and a somewhat half finished basement. 
Problems: The Master bedroom was down stairs and small, there was no bath room upstairs, both bathrooms where on the main floor actually right next to each other.  The kitchen was very outdated, all of the basement finishing was home owner done and not very well. One of the bedrooms upstairs was the size of a walk in closet, and the furnace was old.

House number 3
Good: Very big, nice size rooms and good carpet. New Furnace was put in in 2010.
Problems: Far away from all of our works, Old old house late 18 hundreds.  Kitchen was redone, but was shoddy and poorly laid out, Could tell that the house was settling towards the middle because all the floors where sloping towards the middle.  All updates seemed shoddy and basement was the original from when the house was build. Scary bit the foundation is being held up by two by fours, scary.

So for right now no house.
