Their furniture is definitely well made. I didn't see the Libra, but we were in looking at furniture and couches and were very pleased with the quality. The prices are pretty high because most of it is "designer" furniture - known designers designed the pieces. The leather choices for the couches felt like butter. Ikea is truly hit or miss - you have to see the furniture to determine whether to purchase or not. Some items, even thought you have to put it together is well made while other's just won't last a move. Have you checked out Room and Board as well as Crate and Barrel furniture? Sky

Littleprince2 - I think you're right. I keep thinking maybe just 3 or 4 chairs, but I like the idea of something bigger to lounge on when I'm by myself. Nosoccermom - way higher meaning higher ceiling? I think my ceilings are 8' 8". Always1stepbehind - isn't it awesome? Actually a hinged patio door rather than a slider - the screen slides, but the door swings all the way.

@tiffany66 - Why are you bumping a 2 year old thread to take issue with a 2 year old post about a house that was purchased 5 years ago? However, without knowing more information, I don't think your analysis is correct. Houses are always sold as-is, this is why buyers typically do some sort of due diligence before finalizing the purchase. However, most states require sellers to disclose certain information about the property that may not be easily discoverable by a buyer. So while houses are sold as-is, sellers are not allowed to lie on required disclosures. In this particular situation, the only likely recourse the buyer has is against the original seller for their failure to disclose. It is doubtful that the heirs redid the disclosure forms when the acquired the property and if they did they likely were advised to simply mark unknown for every disclosure (any competent realtor would advise that). So, while the original seller is deceased, the action is still against the original seller's estate for his/her failure to disclose. It would not be against the heirs as they had no omission. Since this post was made three years after the purchase (and death of the seller) then it is unlikely there is still an estate to take action against. I doubt taking action against the inspector is going to be beneficial either, as it has been three years. Furthermore, none of the problems look actionable anyway. The inspector can't see how the basement wall was installed, unless there is cracking the no corner bead is a non-issue, etc. Largely this just seems like someone who bought an old house with very typical old house problems and now doesn't want to deal with old house issues so wants someone else to be responsible... Case in point... 1. Roof has 3-4 layers 2. Small patch of Asbestos above HVAC 3. 200amp grounded circuit breaker with knob and tube wiring, exposed wires, etc. 4. exposed wiring in attic closet Didn't seem like too bad of a list I mean... that is a pretty bad list. Asbestos, a bad roof, and knob and tube wiring. If we can find a foundation problem, the OP can win Money Pit Bingo.

@wdccruise yes, i want white White WHITE. but i don't want to move to Europe. i was reading another thread that you may have also been on, that said you cannot really install European cooktops in this country, b/c even with a proper change to the electrical elements, they only last 2-3 years. so i don't think white White WHITE can work, very sadly. i have also moved on to looking at light grey. :( and then, maybe just a few black circles, instead of a big black rectangle, would be acceptable. they do, after all, make the point that the countertop is also a cooktop. again without too big of a black shoutout. i have been told that Dekton can work with Invisicook. but again, i do not want a Dekton countertop. so yes, it should work. finally, what do you mean about having to make the cutouts TWICE? i didn't get why. wouldn't i just make the cuts once in the Dekton. but i agree a screwup would be expensive! thanks!
