Here is a part of the letter, I sent to the seller:The home inspection was completed on September 29th (please see attached) and the following issues were pointed out: 1.The wooden floor frame in the middle unit is deteriorating due to either prior water leak in the bathroom or due to moisture infiltration through the walls and foundation.2.There is evidence of significant settlement under the middle unit bathroom and north closet.3.The settlement of the floor and walls has also resulted in settlement of the roof frame above this area, ceiling shows cracks.4.There is an obvious depression on the roof – water is ponding on the roof above the middle unit, which adds excessive weight on the roof and potential for leaks.5.Asbestos containing material has been found.6.The current bedroom heat installations in the north and south units pose a safety hazard from carbon monoxide, fire and oxygen depletion.7.An electrician performing upgrades did not use ‘arc fault breakers’ in the north and south unit breaker panels, which is required by the national electrical code.8.Upgrades to the electrical system, promised by a real estate agent, have not been completed yet.

I really need to be able to rely on someone to handle the day-to-day around the house.The fire department came out to the house a few weeks ago and required all the smoke detectors be replaced with combination smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.  

I am in Glen Carbon, IL, so a trip to West County is not too bad, but after dinner with drinks, I fear the drive.

The South and Western portions of the ranch are within the shelf and slope regions of the carbonate platform where the application of new 3-D seismic technology tied to solid geological models will lead to a very successful venture."

Hey @Don Carbon there are a lot of Wichitian's that lurk around here.  

Right now the trend is toward density and reducing carbon footprint.

Replace all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors?

Checking smoke  and carbon monoxide detectors annually which is owner responsibility in this state?

@McKinley Carbone thank you thank you

They often use inexpensive poor quality materials as they create carbon copies of these properties to sell as quickly as possible before they move onto the next one.
