Well, our inspection that was originally supposed to be several weeks ago finally took place. I have to say, even though some problems turned up, it's a relief that most of them are small in nature. Nothing like the last inspection, thank GOD! So here are the things our inspector recommended be taken care of:
-loose, uncovered electrical wires/splices need to be properly concealed in conduit/junction boxes
-natural gas supply needs help as currently the gas is on but not reaching appliances (this may just be due to the contractor working on the house, I'll have to check)
-small leaks in the basement need repair at main water shut-off, bathroom supply, kitchen supply
-chimney needs repointing at top and cap needs to be secured
-main electrical service running overhead needs to be raised for safety (probably need to contact the utility company about that one)
-basement shower surround is pretty dead (not to worry, we would have demo'd it anyway!)
-loose light fixtures in bedrooms need to be properly installed
-furnace needs a flex line, also discharge pipe is threaded and needs to be replaced.

As house bloggers and DIYers, I think these are all gonna be easy for you! Good luck and congrats :)
We got the sellers to agree to repairs on the gas and furnace, plus they offered us a $1000 gift card to Lowe's towards the other stuff. Me personally, I am thrilled that we get the chance to use the money as we see fit on the house, I may even get to do something about the kitchen right away! Thanks for the good wishes
