One Hot Mess




I know.  This looks like a nightmare, and I assure you that I'm terrified.  Welcome to my nasty basement.  Aside from the obvious things, what we found out from our inspector, yesterday, was that we need a structural engineer to tell us exactly how effed the foundation really is.

Apparently there is ZERO drainage and therefore, significant water damage, and the foundation is failing in some parts.  Enter structural engineer.  We thought we'd have an estimate for repairs by now, but there is giant question mark over the foundation--it could be 5k or 50k--we just don't know yet.  We should, however, have a good idea by this Tuesday.
