Bill / cloudy, cold, miserable
Had an inspection done on the Lake Park property in West Palm Beach, Fl. Results are a bummer, as the roof is/was infiltrated by vermin and termites. Electrical panel box not to code and wasn't permitted. Window installed in knee wall of family room structurally unsound. House looked Ok to me, but it is a pit into which someone will throw great piles of money. I think not me. Damn, I thought it would be my new home...love the Lake Park area, but alas this one isn't it. Too bad. So many people were able to buy homes on easy credit, but they never should have gotten that credit nor lived in the houses. They had no idea how to maintain it, and repairs and additions were all done on the cheap, by people who had no friggin clue what they were doing. So now we have hundreds, no thousands of what might have been wonderful homes that are literally rotting away due in large part to ignorance and stupidity. Stupid people wanting what they could not afford, and stupid lenders loaning to people who they had to know could never pay them back. The result is empty homes with bugs and vermin crawling through them. What a huge loss, and very disappointing to folks like me... sorry, enough of this and I'll step off the soap box now. Just pissed at stupidity of it all. At least the foreseeable weather forecast is for daytime temps in the 70s and the 50s at night. Nice...
