Oy, what a day. We spent a good hour to an hour and a half at La Manse. Of course we found more "issues" this time since we're really serious now, LOL. It seems likely it needs a whole new roof, and there are signs that at one point one of the kitchen sinks (yes, there are two--it's one of those huge gourmet kitchens, though the appliances are ancient) leaked and part of the rec room ceiling underneath in the basement has been removed. I also did a walking tour of the property and discovered that someone had been dumping garbage part of the way back so that will need to be dealt with. But we're still excited. The big issues are, of course, the mechanicals--furnaces, pool pumps, etc. The pool, which is more or less drained, has a little residue of sludgy brown water in the deep end so we're wondering what cleaning that up will entail. There was also a poor little tiny dead mouse in the shallow end we hadn't noticed before.
