FUCKERY: Finished the inspections on Friday and pulled all the permits on the house. Turns out the guy didn't permit a lot of the work he did, including the biggest project: removing a load-bearing wall in the basement and placing a paralam beam and columns. I'm fine with the un-permitted smaller projects, but it's becoming a little more clear why he wanted to push the sale through so quickly and why it was listed under market. We're going to hit him with the list today, but I'm thinking this probably kills the sale. I don't see him giving up any money or permitting the beam and too many other people here would buy the house permits or not.
Wife is kind bummed, but I was juuuuuuuuuust waiting for something like this to come to light.
