I may have to change my mind about liking older homes. The LA home inspection had gone reasonably well, but the electrician has proposed a more expensive (although probably the complete, right way to do it) solution. The total plumbing and electrical quote is $11,000 F-ing dollars. I just about had an anyeurism when he gave me the quote. I'm in the process of negotiating with the owners now, and I've updated my asking price to half. I was going to ask for most of it, but an $11,000 total changed my mind.
Hopefully, we'll be able to split it. Anything less and we will have to think seriously about walking. If they say "no" then we are definitely walking. It's just not worth it to buy, even at this price, knowing that there are safety items that are fucked up in this home.
I'm sure everyone has seen the earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan. My prayers are with them during this disaster and I hope that the death toll is minimal.
Later
