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)

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!

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.

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?
