Hahaha!
I bet is true. I guess though the type of problems are different. As far as I'm concerned I can take on anything if I could get more than minimal amount of sleep...

Don't talk about sleep - the sleeping patterns of children can only be quantified by using chaos theory

in Welcome to home ownership. on jessenoller.com comments
Three weeks ago I wrote a comment to a post in which you spoke about your home. I said:
"""
As my thirteen year old put it:
Owning a home has its highs and has its Lowes.
"""
For our friends living outside the US Lowes is a home improvement store that one visits quite frequently.
Today I checked that post and I was most surprised to see that you said:
"""
That's awful
"""
Now I don't really know how to read this ... do you really think so? By the way, I'd say he was right, no?
Anyway sorry to hear about the problem. Buying a home is indeed a risk, home inspectors are worthless, the most useless $600 I ever spent, for our home the first big rain got water in the basement.
It is very depressing to get such a nasty surprise, but lok at the bright side, this is how experience grows, twenty years from now this will be story passed down to the next generations.

I meant more "that's awful" in the ironic sense - it's so very true. Since buying the house I've spent more time at Lowes than I have at any other retail store, ever. I never though lightbulbs/fixtures and home appliances could be so fascinating.
I don't think our inspector was useless - he did catch some things we did have the owners fix - it's just rough dealing with something like this when it comes from left field. When my wife and I started looking I insisted on new construction, but given this is the Boston area, and new construction is still smoking the high price pipe, we went for a house built sometimes in the last 100 years, hoping we'd avoid a certain amount of "creative engineering" you get with older homes.
Yeah. We didn't avoid any of it.
