Practically speaking, if the house is painted and the old, potentially leaded paint is sealed in, it can no longer be digested by infants, which is what the main concern is.

Its not rocket science to string wire and electricians don't care to do it all that much.Yeah, well, it's a 5000 ft2 duplex with two Siemens boxes, and there's vermiculite in the sealed attic.

Hi there, I have a great quality drawing set for a renovation, but I need a licensed architect to sign and seal the drawings.

@Louisa Seales expenses are low and you shouldn't have any utility costs.

@Maimouna SowOr should I just use that line for just the fridge and cover/seal the added outlet.

@Andrew McCotter The fact that the crawl space is sealed shut is the first red flag that should cause you to run from this deal. 

Ive had issues with poor quality windows within 2yrs where it leaked because of poorly sealed glass.... or gas between glass caused hazing, etc.  

This would not only look nicer but seal it up as well.

We have yet to close and seal a deal.  

Do a routine inspection, check the plumbing under the sinks, check the drains for free flow, check for running toilets, check the base of the toilet for leaking flange seal, dripping faucets, change the furnace filter, inspect the attic for potential roof leaks, check the condensate pan under the HVAC, check the pan under the water heater.Common sources of smells are pets (especially cats), kids peeing somewhere other than the toilet, garbage/refuse not being properly disposed of, plumbing issues.
