cough...cough...hack...hack...Those are common sounds coming from our house. After talking it over, hubs and I think the house we are living in is giving us health problems. We have invested in several hundred dollars in air purifiers, air filters, pest control and cleaning products. And we still feel like this house is in some way contaminated. We think possibly with mold or something. I was built in the early 50s and is on piers and think the problem lies beneath the house.
There are so many other things about this house that I don't like...
-laundry room is outside
-back porch floods when it rains
-showerhead in master bath has no water pressure
-counters in kitchen have a "lip" all the way around
-oven temperature isn't correct
-bugs
-master bedroom ventilation doesn't flow properly (hot in winter, freezing in winter)
-carpets are in poor condition
-drain in tub allows water to drain
We have been searching for a new place since this summer. But this area has an issue with supply and demand. There are areas outside of the city that people want to live and houses in those areas go fast. Not to mention there is a terrible system for looking for available houses. You have to go to individual property management firms to find houses for lease. Not to mention some don't even have online listings. Seriously are you kidding me? I have to come to your office to look at a printout to even see if you have anything in the area I want. Give me a break...get with it! So I rely mainly on craigslist to find houses. And that poses a whole other problem with contacting the people about the houses. It is so frustrating!!! Please wish us luck as we look for another house.
