CONGRATULATIONS X1000
What a ride man.....There is something very satisfying about unpacking and moving in. Still tons of work, but still nice!

Can you believe its been about 2 months now?!?! I can't.
Even after all this time, now it feels like home. All the rooms are setup. Finally put pictures on the walls and decorated with what we had.
Everything is going well, and only one big shiatty surprise with the house. The master bath shower pan (tiled shower) is leaking. Not the drain, but the actual water proof membrane/concrete pan. Leaks water into our son's room on the other side of the shower wall, leaks through the living room ceiling below the shower, and leaks into the hot box surrounding the fireplace behind the brick. What a crock of shiat. We plugged the shower pan drain and filled the pan with 1/2" of water. The water leaked out in less than 15 minutes through the cracks in the tile/grout/pan...... crap.
Luckily there is another bath/shower to use until I demo the master bath shower and build a new pan and re-tile it. It will be OK but I hate finding stuff like this that the previous home owner had to know and didn't say anything. Makes me want to kick him right in the dick.
The hot tub had a pin hole leak too that I found. The water was dropping about 2" every 5 days. Luckily an easy fix and not on a high pressure line. All good now.
You can see by the pictures that the shower pan has been leaking for a loooooong time. Subfloor in the bedroom next to is is soft, tac strip is disinegrated and rusty, looks like a bit of mold, and stained carpet/pad.
But, there are some awesome spots I really love here!
The river is a great place to just relax.
And my favorite place is the office area. She's a beaut!!!!

I was thinking the same thing, your place would be around £750,000 in the real estate market i work in. It's a beautiful place and that deer in the garden is priceless, that screams unspoilt surroundings.caution said:I was wondering about how things were going, what a shiatstain to not tell you about that leak.
All things considered though, you made out great, Digs like yours would go for millions where I live.
Still can't get over that back 40. Hi Bambi!
Bit of a dick move to not mention the issue but you know what, I reckon karma will sort you out and see you good.
I love the office by the way, reeks of quality, looks like a presidential office
For sure, the yard is great to have. We drive by our old place and stare wondering how we managed to keep the kids safe in that small yard on the main highway through town. So glad we moved 
. Still a kick ass deal with the small issues we are finding.
The shower I can handle the work, more annoying than anything. Some blood, sweat, and beers should be all it takes to get it back to good.
Funny you mention the presidential office! My friends said the same thing and that I should get the oval office rug in the White House hhahahaha and we just might!!!!

Great yard!! I'd love to live somewhere like that. Beautiful and cheap - perfect!!!
Your shower dramas remind me of a slight hiccup we had when we moved into our latest house. Before we even finished moving the furniture in, we realised we had a major sewage leak (2 feet inside our property border). So it was our problem!!
The old clay pipe had collapsed due to poor infill around the pipe. Did they use sand or some other suitable material?? Nope, they used long neck beer bottles - hundreds of them all around the sewer line. And yep, half were broken thus offering zero support for the clay pipe!! The building inspection didn't check that detail!!
So $3000 later, we could move in!! Such fond memories.

Water leaks suck! I'm in the middle of a complete remodel of master bath because of a leaky shower pan. The bathroom is completely gutted at the moment. And the price for it all.........YIKES!
