Fuck this house 😒
a year ago
We try to do everything we can to fix this place and it just tosses more money sinks at us.
We're in the middle of getting new siding, gutters, fascia, roof vents and such. This is already almost all our money. While a siding guy was nailing in the siding. The whole long side of our house because electrically charged. What we think is a wall wire is up against the outer wall and the nail is too close sending a charge though the wall. The crew manager had never seen this happen before. We contacted the owner of the company and he said we need to find an electrician to locate the problem. But he's not paying for it because the location of the wire is in violation of the building code and that's on us as owners of the house. The crew manager didn't like that answer and offered to fix it if the electrician finds it.
So we are with out lights for the weekend or however long it takes to get this fix. It could be worse tbh. We still have heating/cooling, kitchen, tv and outlets. Just no lights. Just not sure what this will cost yet.
Kind of shaken up from this and yet it's kind of numb to it becase there's been so much half assed work around this place.
Just wanna keep saying, "just need to iron out all the wrinkles.. right? 😟"

There is a real possibility you got scammed by the people who flipped the house. I suggest speaking to an attorney (if you haven’t already) because if the people who “fixed up” that house knowingly misrepresented the work done and the condition of the property, you can sue. You might have other recourse, also.
The wires in the walls I don't think has anything to do with the flippers. Just old house stuff and whoever built this house was quite stupid.
my family's house is kinda the same way, minus the electrical issue
I hope things get worked out for you
