A good deal if you look on the surface, but we were glad when it was gone and will never do it again.

Would not have bought at amt had I known (1) the true sq footage and (2) the hidden repairs that surfaced (old building + I did sloppy inspection).

You already know what I think of each party having an equal voice - 9 times out of 10 its a problem, often a large problem.When everything is going well there is no conflict; when things go south the real problems surface.

We have ours screwed into our Stucco wall, but it is so light you could velcro it on to any surface.  

@Mathew Hilton it is really hard to say how much the carpenter ant issue would cost to fix, but there is the very real scenario that they have destroyed a substantial amount of wood (both siding and framing), and it will be expensive to fix.The mold / moisture issue in the attic is another potentially expensive fix depending on how affected the roof sheathing is; is it rotting from the moisture or just covered in surface mold?

The father is the problem...not so much a sweetheart or he would have fixed this issue the first time it surfaced and would not allow his daughters to be abused (it is nothing short of child abuse when a child is taught foul language and how to disrespect others).  

@Grant Doyle what's the surface area of the roof?

Every wooden surface in the house is covered with mold.

There also was quite a bit of efflorescence on the garage floor and driveway, causing the surface to be crumbly.

That just seems absurd.I did find the following in the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act:"(1) Except as provided by the declaration:(a) If walls, floors, or ceilings are designated as boundaries of a unit, all lath, furring, wallboard, plasterboard, plaster, paneling, tiles, wallpaper, paint, and finished flooring and any other materials constituting any part of the finished surfaces thereof are a part of the unit, and all other portions of the walls, floors, or ceilings are a part of the common elements."
