Nope, no house yet...

Okay, we just found out the house we wanted to buy is on two different foundations. It doesn't scare me if the home was all on cylindrical pier and beam, but the back half was added sometime later says our inspector and it's on concrete pad and cinder block. I have seen too many issues come up with that type of foundation working insurance and maybe the house hasn't fallen yet, but we just don't want to take any chances.

Hopefully, the seller won't hate us for forever. We really feel bad, but had we known it was on two different foundations, we never would have signed the contract to begin with. Plus we would feel obligated to disclose that fact straightaway when we went to sell the home and I am sure I am not the only one it scares.

So we will be back on the search again in the near future. Keep an eagle eye out College Station 2nd Ward goers!

Major bummer. The perfect, structurally sound, house is out there waiting for you. A test in patience, you think?
