The only major expense that I am aware of is that the fake concrete "stone" facade is pulling away from the brick wall at the front of the house.

$2300 for hanging, taping, sanding the old textures off the upper half of the walls and texturing the entire room.

The home was totally remodeled in 2008 ( new windows, doors, sliding glass doors, deck, wall retexture, tile and wood flooring, carpets in bedrooms, paint, cabinets, bathrooms tiled, shower tiled, new vanities, new kitchen cabinets, granite tile counters, light fixtures, forced air unit installed, new appliances, everything.

From the main lvl to the basement is 8 stairs to get into the basement... the basement is flooded to the 6th stair going up and a tire is floating on the water.So, pretty much I had a contractor come by and he loves the look of the place but when he went in and seen what I seen... he said with the mold, the replacing of the back end of the roof, the no knowledge time of the water sitting in the basement due to the sump pumps and wall damage plus the kitchen needing to be gutted out plus all sorts of stuff... maybe 70,000 in repairs but that's not including whats going on in the basement.
