That's right near the Chestnut Hill border, so even though it's close to Stenton the area might not be bad, but the crown molding screams "water damage" to me. But hey, if you move there we can meet up and complain about home ownership!

nm posted:That leads me to believe that sometime during the work, they dound a super expensive problem that could cause catistrophic damage. i'm wondering where this point was in my house. most of the changes and improvements are thoughtful but at some point they went into "gently caress it" mode and just slapped a bunch of faux-antique doorknobs on before they sold the place. i know the latter part because one of them upstairs was backwards. like the latch was backwards. it still sorta-latched so i guess they didn't notice. i mean sure it took like all of three minutes to fix, but you don't do poo poo like that unless you're in a rush. edit: and the double doors off the kitchen that have a pin to lock one side, but no corresponding hole in the frame for the pin to go into. also a knob but no latch, despite hole drilled for same.

if you look on the far right there is actually a roof line intersecting another roof line. which i guess is inevitable when there's nine different roof lines or whatever.

I'm honestly surprised that he didn't spec out some palladium coated, double headed, certified organic nails, to be installed exactly to plan with a 22.5 oz hammer by a registered fence repair specialist.

For a basement bathroom in Philadephia, that's clean as hell. Looks like someone rewired the ceiling fixtures. Good luck with the living room water damage. Either porch pushout roof, or radiator risers...which will be galv & oh so much fun to deal with. That sink plumbing in the master bath is wild...valves in the wall, feeding a line to a vitreous spout. Pray she don't leak either, that pink tile cannot be matched. Had I the money, I'd grab it in a New York minute. THe 19119 has come back nicely; the location was always nice (I was married in Germantown in 1990), and the house is probably rock-solid.

Yeah, same with my house. It's like 90% very well done, thoughtful work, and then you run into something where you're like, aaaaand this is the moment the contractor realized he was about to go over budget and said gently caress it
