RE: Buying my dream home, aka "worst case ever" - part eight

in #life7 years ago

How did the tenants live like that for so long? Hope there wasn't much water damage.
Lol all this for a pile of rocks. They better be mind blowing rocks hehehehehe

Sort:  

The rocks are.
The tenants are not very well off and the place was cheap and they knew that the druggie "landlord" wasn't fixing anything. It only became really bad about this time last year, when there was a heavy rainfall for a couple of weeks, it wasn't as noticeable as mine. Ever since I bought the house, I've had to put a lot of time and effort into making their place habitable. By law, anything that you rent out must be 'fit for purpose'. It was far from that.

Its great to see that you are very handy and fixed what you could on your own.

Financially, I had no choice. But at least I'm competent at DIY, a legacy of my shoemaker/filmwork days
