[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 161700, member: 1485"] I'm constantly reminded just how "special" our fellow humans can be. Case in point: My folks put a bid in on a cabin near Nevis, MN. Nice looking place on a good chunk of property. Room to grow. We were all pretty excited about the thought of having a family cabin to start making memories at. Dad was a bit worried about the floor as there was a pretty good sag, but figured it was just from the place settling or something. Inspector comes out and finds the culprit. The previous owners decided they'd watched enough HGTV to do their own work and cut through a major load-bearing beam to put a set of stairs in to the basement. So my folks said, "uh, yeah, you either pay to fix this or we're out." And that's if it can even be fixed. They still haven't heard back. But honestly, when people do something like that, you can't help but wonder what other surprises we'll find if we get the place. Some do-it-yourself electrical work, perhaps? Jimmy-rigged plumbing? Or maybe they decided to save a few bucks on hardware and build the whole cabin with nothing but wood glue? [/QUOTE]
