Welcome to home ownership.
And thus began a long period of endless headaches and utter misery involving the purchase and installation of a new furnace, the hiring of professional house cleaners and painters, etc etc. The nightmare that never ended, except that it did eventually end, and I got to move into the place a mere 2 and a half months later. In the dead of winter.
Fortunately all of the expenses were covered by the previous owner since the incident occurred before the signing.
At the time, more than one person told me that this was the best thing that could’ve ever happened. I got a freshly painted house and a new furnace, no charge. I remember sighing and thinking, oh yeah, this is just the bestest turn of events ever.

happy birthday, house
Happy anniversary! I've been in my place 15 years and its still not paid off, or all re-painted, or bathroom re-tiled....well, the list is endless....
8 years?...Did you buy before me? I thought we bought at the same time...or was it Mr. White* who bought at the same time as me?...
Let's see, martini party at your house...Match Game/Gong Show moments... chicken coupons...me wandering out into a drunken stupor to buy cigarettes...a certain nameless person laying in the street... Yes, you did buy before me. I was still in the apartment when those glorious events took place.
JAW fan
*the name has been spelled incorrectly to protect the innocent.
The innocent? Let's hear more....
Congratulations on 8 years as a homeowner!
If I am not mistaken, you (JAW) and this "Mr. White" bought around the same time, following my wise lead. Aren't we all better off as homeowners rather than tenants?
Oh susie, don't ask me how many things are falling apart in my little house. The list of things working properly would be much shorter.
by all means, protect the innocent
