		Heat:

		Wood stove in living room (Flue Pipe needs replacing)
		2 large electric baseboard units (living room and back bedroom)

Wiring:

		All lights are on original knob & tube wiring (legal but frowned on)

		Most everything else is 60s? copper with some newer

Foundation:

		Concrete perimeter added years ago.
		Space under front porch not enclosed - easy varmint entry.

		Newer large hot water heater

Not FHA financeable in current condition

		Bathroom sub-floor is soft (joists are OK).
		(I would gut the entire bathroom, replace the subfloor and start fresh)
		Kitchen counter is in bad shape with soft subfloor under it.
		Floor joist ends under counter need sisters.
		(I would remove counter & subfloor under it, fix joists and build/install new counter cabinet)
		A couple other floor joists along north wall should be sistered
		No kitchen stove vent
		Foundation needs vent screens
		At least one interior floor beam post has sunk and needs to be shimmed up
		Needs vapor barrier under house
		Wiring under house needs to be tacked up
		Space under front porch needs to be enclosed
		2 areas of lower window casing rot (front porch and back porch)
		Sometime in the past the power line from street was knocked down,
		Although functional, the reconnection to the house begs to be redone properly (I would bury the line from the street)
		Nov 2014 bank appraisal value $200K (before major clean-up)
		Professional Home Inspection Report available to serious shopper

Garage (See pictures)

		2 car (20' x 24')

		I saw some wet spots on the floor along the east wall after heavy rain,
		but I could not see evidence on the ceiling above them ?

Barn (37' x 55') (See pictures)

		110 power via buried line
		Several sheets of steel roofing are missing
		South side shingles are missing in large patches

		95% of the structure is dry and solid
		There are some floor beam ends that need sisters or replacement
