Congratulations. Now you'll have so many chores to do around the house you won't have time to brew!
Dude said:Well, house inspection is today at 4 PM. I will hopefully get some good pics of the house, as well as (hopefully) pics and dimensions of that room above the garage. I'll start a thread on it tomorrow night with my current ideas and hopefully you guys can chime in as well. I'm going to have to be super creative because actual working space in the room is going to be extremely tight.
Hopefully we don't find anything seriously FUBAR today.

Congratulations Dude, That garage certainly is a home brewers dream.

Dude said:We have another one in mind--it is in an even better area and more of a fixer upper, but cheaper. Also no garage though. I'd have to buy/build a shed to at least have a brewery. No bar though.
As far as?
In the inspection report, they recommended quite a list of things. We proposed a seriously whittled down list to the owners, but specified we wanted the work done by certified roofers/plumbers rather than "handymen". They balked at that. We are waiting to hear back from our rebuttal, where we remained firm on our list.
Makes me wonder what they are trying to hide.
EDIT: Oh, herrroooo..... LOL....

Dude said:UGH. Back to the drawing board. The owners came back and said no way, we aren't required to fix anything. Uh, okay. Let's see if they get an offer anything close to what we gave them.
So we are signing the release today--which means we start looking all over again. I'm totally bummed.
Obviously they know something is wrong. They are afraid a professional roofer is going to come by and tell them the whole thing needs to be replaced, or are hiding something that would come back and bite us in the a$$es later on. This is a good thing, but not what I was "bargaining" for. Not looking forward to starting this whole process over.
Arrrgh.
