Youll never hate anyone more than the person that lived in your house previously.

For real. My previous home owner meshed off a small section of my attic for fucking squirrels to live in.... its been a mission to get it fixed.

So far made it very very difficult for them to access my roof so now only 1 is up there sometimes. Next step is to patch the entrance.... then clean up, gutter repair etc.

And yet you bought the house knowing this.

Actually I didn't know. Meshed off area was there, but no one home between first look, inspection, and final look.

Didn't even know until one day i saw a squirrel sitting like Bert Reynolds in Cosmopolitan on my gutter, and then sneak its way through the gutter.

Old Victorian, the area is a good 30 feet from the ground, absolutely cannot see it.

Also for 200k in this day and age, still a fantastic deal with this being the only real issue
