Jerry P" A home inspector should report items based on *I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHO PAYS FOR THIS OR WHAT IT COSTS*, here's the problem, "Git R Dun"."

Exactly. That's why my response to what I think it will cost is always the same. " I have no idea, and I don't want to know. It might influence my response to what we both know to be the right solution. I suggest that you obtain estimates so that you can better understand how to negotiate or better prepare for your future cost if the seller doesn't agree to repair it." (If it's a minor repair, I might give them a reasonable ball park figure.)
