Thanks Mary. I bought the house As-Is from a bank. It was a foreclosure
so the previous history of the house was not disclosed to me. I am
thinking that is why a "flipper" didn't jump on the deal, b/c it was
going to take too much time to address the issue and fix. Just a guess.


I definitely need to check the gutters. There is one gutter that is
going into the ground and I have no idea where it is coming out at.

Thanks everyone for thier suggestions.
