We moved due to work a couple years ago. We elected to go with an older (70s construction) house with a wonderful layout and great character over newer construction. We stayed well within our means in terms of cost. Home inspection didn't reveal any major issues, other than the hvac system being really old.
Well, after we bought, I went ahead and got quotes to replace the hvac system, only to find out that all the ducts had to be torn out and reinstalled (4 different companies all said the same thing). So, the cost more than doubled what I was inspecting. Then, found some electrical issues that had to get fixed. Then one shower pan failed. Now a second shower is leaking, and I just found out it wasn't waterproofed. Suspect the third shower is going to fail if it isn't leaking anyway.
What can I do? I can't afford three bathroom remodels. Already put the duct work and electrical work on a credit card, hoping to pay it off after selling our old house (didn't end up getting anything much out of it).
