adventures in home buying.

yup, last night we had our very first inspection. the pest inspection. it went really well. no sign of any pests. yay!

however, after the inspector left, we went upstairs to check something. when i walked into the master bedroom, john and mary (our agent) were staring at the bed. on it? a decapitated mouse! apparently, the owner's cat likes to kill animals and bring them into the house. are you kidding me? a few days ago it brought in a baby bird. last week? a bunny.

so...i said we're not going forward unless the carpets are professionally cleaned before we move in. there's no way in the world i am going to have my animals exposed to all kinds of animal parts.

ugh. and, i am sure this is just the beginning.
