Leaning Tower Of Chimney.

So the inspector initially said every thing was awesome and that he would buy the house if we didn't. Now that i have the printed inspection form it says the chimney has a 10 degree tilt. Should that be a deal breaker? He didn't mention it as a major concern to us when we asked him for major structural flaws...
 Please tell me what you think!!! Buy or not to buy?

A little research...

So we are expected to close on the house in march or so, and since I am
VERY excited about this I did a little research on this house.
I found the census from 1900 listing our new address and its occupants. NEATO!
George S. & Hattie Cummings lived there in 1900, they had 7 children. He was from New Hampshire, And she was an immigrant  from england. The census also lists his occupation, their children,(living or dead) If they had schooling, if they could read or write and other neat info. I wish I could find a picture of one of the family members! This is something I will continue to work on. Below is a copy of the original census, the family and house is under number 39. (click to enlarge)

Here is the snippett pertaining to the house.

 I Also found this listing in a google book, Charles C. Cummings, as his emergency contact, listed Hattie as his mother, and her address.

  Well thats all for now! I will be sure to  add more if I find it!

WIN!

The realtor told us that the bank accepted our bid!!!
We may have to go sign the final paperwork tonight. I CAN NOT WAIT! Gaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am not sure if i will be able to sleep tonight. HAHA.  I can't wait to choose paint colors and rugs, and to land scape the back yard. Who wants to come over and build a cobb fire place with meh?!

I think I may vomit.

The inspector is done and he said its in GREAT shape and to go for it! Though while we were having the inspection done someone put a bid on the house. :(
 *crushed*
I am about to leave now to put our bid in. I HOPE WE GET IT!  Please wish us luck!

Approved!

The loan was approved for the property we are looking at. (WHOOHOO!)

 We have set up a home inspection for monday. He was referred to us by a good friend, I hear he is very good at what he does. Another friend of ours is an electrical specialist and he will be in this week also to inspect all the wiring and such.

Interior pictures

 Purple kitchen! GAG. The whole house is in shades of purple... i forsee painting in my future...

Stair case

A little rough around the edges.

So Caleb and I drove around our potentially future neighborhood today. It was a little rough around the edges. Should that put us off from buying? We checked the crime reports, past and current of the area, and nothing really goes on in the vicinity. I think if the Little old lady who lives there is safe we will have no problem... What do you think?

SOLD!

No not the house... the car. And it sold for more than we paid for it 2 years ago. Money is in the bank and the loan is being processed. I am hoping that the loan goes through (the banker thinks it will be  no problem) and the house has no major defects. Caleb and I are exited about the chance to build a cobb fire place in our possible new back yard. *squeal*

Meanwhile...

Gorgeous

So Caleb and i had a walk through today at the old victorian. :O

Drop dead gorgeous inside. Functioning pocket doors in every room on the main floor, Gorgeous hand carved mantle, and original finish on the door frames, which are in beautiful condition. (Dark honey colored pine) All original pine floors, which need a lil' TLC but i kind of like the worn in charm they have.
 The chandelier in the kitchen is begging to be cleaned, it will be stunning all polished up.
The main floor bathroom has a small claw foot bathtub, just to soak in. Its ADORABLE!
The upstairs has a newly renovated bathroom , full size claw foot bath, new tile/ toilet, and a stand up shower in the corner. (which was poorly installed by the home owner, and caused water damage to the ceiling in the parlour down stairs.)
I'm hoping that the reason they have not sold the house yet is NOT because of a huge structural problem of some sort, and that it is still on the market  due to the current owner being a border line hoarder,( It is hard to look around her things, which are stacked to the ceiling, and see the gorgeous house hiding underneath.) The house has been on the market since July 27th of 2010.
 To get approved for this loan, according to our bank ( we want a 10 year mortgage ) we will have to sell my 1960 El Camino. *Sob*
