Pics if it does, or else I'll just be depressed looking at them.

Good luck! My house is a money pit.
They all are. 4 grand for a new fence, thank you very much Sandy.

Then last year I had to replace the deck.
The year before that I finished the utility room.
The year before that I put a new roof on it.
Later this year I'll be paying for landscaping or doing it myself to fix the damage from the foundation repair.
Next year I will be replacing part of the driveway and getting the rest of it lifted and replacing the front porch and stairs.
I only wanted to live here for 5 years and sell it. It's still worth $15k less than I paid for it and I'm only now getting some equity built after putting 5% down.

Our attic fan was making horrible noises the other day, but damn, I do not wanna crawl around up there.

That sounds painful, Blindy. How old is your house?
Just 20 or so years. The developer really cheaper out on the houses around here, almost all of them are having settling issues and sinking driveways and stuff.

Blindy. painfully thought these words up:

Guess there's something to be said about the fucking expensive way German houses are build.

Do you even lift

You can lift a foundation?
Yeah. They dig down right next to it then screw metal piers into the ground until it hits bed rock, then attach them to the foundation and lift the house with hydrolics. :metal:
Took a while to get back to this thread, was just there with a house inspector discovering that apparently a grey-water pit was illegally constructed in the basement. It's against all sorts of health codes, and had a flat metal sheet over the pit that wasn't air-tight. Monday we'll be sharing the report with the owner, and see what he'll do to fix the violations.
Feel like the luckiest guy in the world (That's not getting married) for landing this house in today's market.
Congrats!
In the UK you'd be lucky to get something half that size for around quarter of a million.
