I agree with Flipper about spraying on a knockdown finish on the paneling.

See my post regarding my first experience.I read your post regarding your first REI meeting and LOL that is exactly what I am afraid of, walking into a live action late night infomercial!

Trying to finish this up now, so we'll see what really happens.Jon

As the house was unoccupied it is not the seller's responsibility (AFAIK) to list any known defects.Too late for you mom in this instance but good advice for other readers; the first time I was in this situation a friend of mine (agent) suggested I ask the bank to pay for a (American Home Shield IIRC) home warranty.

When the refresh was finished all the forums showed as having no new activity.

When the girls were 3 & 4 I had a hammer in their hands lol).Anyways, I have done it all; tiling, drywall, framing, installed doors, carpeting, rough and finished carpentry, knocked down walls, installed cabinets, laminate flooring(I didn't want the added expense of hardwood), finished my basement (DH did the electrical although this does not appear hard to learn), designed and built a 20X20 paragoda/arbor for my patio (with some manly help) and installed a vinyl fence.

In the effort of continuous improvement, I ask the following...When tenants are late we post the standard Pay Rent or Quit notice or their door.

If your email address is in your profile, I'll send you a copy and/or am glad to send chapters to you as I finish them.

Now they want 10% (still not a bad deal), but my last couple of deals have been nothing but trouble, closing late, added fees, missing paperwork...

Minor history lesson.ARMs came about in the late 1970s more or less.
