All this rain makes for a great time to see a home!

It must be time for the Memorial Tournament and the Columbus Arts Festival.
The weatherman predicts a gorgeous weekend though, so hang in there.

In the meantime, I should point out that looking at homes during a downpour (as I have the last couple days) is a great time to discover some basic truths. It's especially nice to take a look at basements and discover the truth to the seller's property disclosure statement that reads something like this: "During very heavy rains, there is a small trickle of water that runs to the drain from the southwest corner of the basement."

Of course you have to take them at face value if you see the home on a nice sunny day and only discover after you move in that the trickle is more like a torrent of water that moves your dryer three feet.


Take a look in the attic too. If you are especially interested in the home and access is available, take a look in the attic crawl space and look for any signs of water intrusion.
