Oh yeah, we bought this house about 2 years ago, and it was always a rental, as the owner lived in Sweden. Imagine that the sales agent didn't know that instead of plastering the brick walls on the interior, it was all covered with wooden boards. To make matters worse, the shower was a wooden box, and the water leaked all over the place. The bath was out of order, as a "rat" chewed a hole into the outlet pipe, and the icing on the cake was the stove didn't work. Oh, and the batteries for the auto gates needed urgent replacement. Just to mention a few of our headaches.

We had the sales agent contact the owner, and she agreed to pay 50% of the costs. So, we also left the other 50% up to karma. !LOL

Glad that you could sort things out, and I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the people that hid the breakages, as it will for sure return to bite them.

I see that you guys had a happy cheesy affair.

Blessings and have a !BEER
