Much follow-up work for the house

When I bought my house I got a home inspection done first, it turned up some issues and I had the seller drop the price accordingly. It is now looking as if I will more than spend that discount in the fixes. That is okay, I do have the cash, it would just have been nice to use it in other ways.

The home inspection lists fifty-one points and, having my hands already quite full with the move and a new job, I have hired a local handyman. ( It turns out that the home inspection missed plenty of issues. )

He had already remediated many of the home inspection issues and these extra ones should appear at a lower rate now that he has had time to explore the house. A new one today was that he realized that he hadn't seen vent ducting in the attic, it turned out that the bathroom and stovetop ceiling fans simply blow into the insulation.

( This could have been much worse, )

it's just that there appear to be enough of them that I get to almost live with him for a little while yet.
