Make sure your home inspector is amazing and truthful! That's my #1 lesson from our home buying experience: According to our inspector, the "original roof" was still on our house, and it was good for another 20 yrs. fast forward to last fall, we had 4 roofs on top of our home (illegal) and had to replace it (and it was asbestos!). ugh.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375013633708990050noreply@blogger.com
