"Everywhere you look, you could spend a few thousand"

Before we put the house under contract, we had a local builder come out and give an opinion on what it would take to make it livable.  After a long look around he said "everywhere you look, you could spend a few thousand dollars".  And he wasn't talking about the remodel itself.  So before we could even start thinking about the remodel we had to have Charlie at Texas Septic put on new lids, a new pump, new risers, and new high water alarm for the septic system.
