Home inspection scheduled for this Sunday. Anything I should specifically go over when we are going through everything?

Going a bit crazy studying up on homeownership, mortgages, fha stuff, etc. Then i'll move on to basic how-to's for general around the house fixes like when a faucet drips, floor board staining, painting walls, and how to care for a friggin pool.

Make sure you have a professional home inspector. They will know all the stuff to look for and they will have a checklist that they work from. As a general rule, you are paying for the inspection, so if the person doing the inspection seems to be glancing over stuff, ask questions. A thorough inspection takes time.

Home Depot has an orange book that covers some basic home repairs. I'll post a link after I go to a meeting.

I got a recommendation from my dad for a home inspector for our area. He is NYS licensed with 22 years experience. Hopefully that's trustworthy enough. I'll be asking tons of questions for basically anything I see as we go through it. I was told it'll take roughly 2 hours to complete.

I just realized I should learn how to light a pilot light and buy a few fire extinguishers......

While lighting a pilot is still on my "Skills Everyone Should Have" list, I've upgraded my stove/oven and HVAC to electronic ignition. I have to clean the FID on the HVAC every 2-3 years but it's an easy job (about 30 seconds with a metal wool pad and no tools required).

Haven't done the water heater because it doesn't have electricity nearby and I'm too lazy to run the wiring.

This is getting good.

Are subtle upgrades such as lighter tires and exhaust worth the money?

The one story said 127 tons of A/N. That's a chit load. Hell, 27 tons is a chit load. I don't think anyone knows how much was there. The story keeps changing. It takes an outside source to make it explode. It doesn't go off on it's own. Needs a trigger. Think you will find out later that someone was using it for something and mixing it with something else.................and they went BOOM! They will NEVER find any body parts of the person who stated it.

Used to have to lift up the mag-base drill with either a fork lift or jig crane to mount the drill to the side of work piece. Drill a hole, move drill to new location and drill again. With each move, you had to move the fork lift or jig crane. It was about 30 to 45 minutes to set-up for each hole.

You will learn to hate the pool. Keeping it clean. Chemicals to keep it clear. Skimming leaves out. Back flushing the filter. Dead critters are nasty to remove from a pool. Solar covers to keep the heat in.

My brother in law in Denver does home inspections. He does it when no ones around to pester him. The size of the house will determine how long it will take. Normally he will send you the report the next day after the inspection.

Watching a lot of videos on general pool maintenance already. No bueno.

House is only 1,224 sqft. I asked and the guy said I should be available to go through it with him.

Leingod... I own a pool and I follow a site called troublefreepool.com that is extremely intuitive and easy to learn all about pool ownership. I'd encourage you to sign up to their forum and do some reading on their site. Really easy to follow. You will have questions (I'm sure ) and the forum is a great tool for support....just as tho the370z.com is to us!

Congrats on becoming a new home and pool owner! Best of luck to you.
