Why is it that when you have a house that needs minor work, you just deal with it for some reason?
When we bought our house in Portland, we bought it with an unfinished basement with the premise to finish it. Well, we did do a lot, but never fully finished it. We ended up doing some last minute things before selling to sell it.
We bought this house a little over 2 years ago with very minor issues. One being the main bathroom's faucet in the bathtub. The hot knob never stopped, it just spun and you'd have to find the stopping point and make sure it didn't leak. I remember when we did the walk through with the inspector thinking, why would someone deal with something that simple to change! How lazy! Well, guess what.....2 years and 2 1/2 months later we are just changing it out. Not for us, but so we can sell it with one less flaw!
Isn't it funny how that works. Not only did we do the exact thing the old homeowners did, but now we are changing it out, but not for ourselves! I guess we at least are stopping the cycle for the next homeowners of this house! LOL
Thankfully I can say with certainty that our next house we will not have this issue! Everything will be new (which I am excited about) so there will be no "dealing" with things!
