figured regardless of the house, the land has got to be worth that much, heck i've lived in the back of a pickup camper in worse places than that....house looks pretty good though!

Okay. Now you've done it.

I have now been officially stared at in public...and not for good reasons...for bursting out laughing!

Sometimes you can find the inspection sticker in the electrical panel or at the laundry drain. This one today is from 1989.




For my next trick I will need a volunteer

ps some of the opinions I have posted here may or may not be factually based.

As a quickie, many times the insulation in the attic has a certificate of installation stapled up there, somewhere. I have found that date to be fairly consistent with the reported age of the house. Not always present, though.

Original newsprint is the best guide. Be it behind your bathroom tiles of under your kitchen floor.
