Most of laments are part of summer remodel. House in no way in a state of disrepair, instead it's in constant upgrade. To address reviewers issues:
1)Dangerous wiring: Home up to code. House inspected for such. Outlet not ‘pulled out’, it's mounted to cinderblock wall to code.
GFCI’s outlets in the bathroom not part of code when bought in 2001. Thanks to suggestion, these will be replcd.
2&7)Lighting fixtures hanging from wires: One hanging light in entire house-light over the pool table. Has just been re-felted & new bumper rails installed. In time, light box to be removed and replaced. Extension cord from the light to reach wall outlet.
3)Dangerous stairs: Stairs are to code when built, & when resold & bought by us. There is a continuous handrail from top to bottom on both floors.
4)Burns in drapes: Across a 16 ft of floor to ceiling living room window is a two inch burn, seen if looked for when the drapes are drawn. New drapes not yet ordered.
Broken furniture: We searched home & found a dresser missing a pull, & an ornamental wood piece on the back of the sofa had been broken, which did not affect use of sofa. Knob replaced. The home, is well beyond Ikea level furnishings, as seen in pictures.
5)The driveway itself can fit up to 4-vehicles. Property service truck not on the driveway, but parked aside it.
6)Dust/Dirt in bedrooms: House cleaned after each visit. Summer in mntns does present dust and pollen & perhaps recent construction or fires.
8)Next door House yard junky: Neighbor is local woodcraft artisan. Home faces a main cross st & one blk from downtown. Our cabin has such a commanding view, his yard can be seen, but so is downtown and mountains.
9)Dirty windows: Windows cleaned every few months. Svc req & finished, inside & out.
10)Front (4) steps-leading from the driveway to front door, although stable, were made uneven by the installation of new septic tank. A closer svc entry, has electronic lockbox. Guests told to use this entry. Stairwell slated to be completed by winter; retaining wall & landscape just redone.
11)Carpet not properly installed: Berber carpet on some seams has been pulled off by repeated vacuuming
12)Range/oven & separate hood are brand new, black & stainless as we convert from white. This guest was the first to use it. Old wall paper (now exposed) had not been removed. Project now finished. Dishwasher & refrigerator are older but clean.
Suggestions appreciated & acted on for corrections.
