Q. 1. Pick your husband;;
Brock Andrews: he is a State Trooper of New York. You guys just bought a nice 3 bedroom 2 story house in the subarbs of NYC. Even though he comes off as a "tough guy" deep down he is a compassionate man who will love his wife unconditionally. He wants 2 or 3 kids.

Lawson Drake: he is a pro football player for the Denver Broncos. He tends to be rough but he means well and truely is kind and caring. He will try to give his wife and 3 or 4 kids anything they want because he loves them. You will live in a 4 bedroom appartment in downtown Denver.

Toby Smith: he is a author and is a winner of the newberry awards for his hit book Around The Corner. He can also play the guitar and can sing well. He is sensitive and has a way with words. He volunteers alot of time in any type of charity he can find. He wants a big family, atleast 5 kids. You live in an old victorian house that has 5 bedrooms and was built in the 1940s. He is very intelligent.

Need some practical advice on what to do with an old piece of junk house? (long)?
Q. Our house was built in the 1940s. At one time it was very nice. A series of people moved in and out in the 80s and 90s. Sometime in the late 90s a man tried to kill himself by setting fire to the mattress as he lay on it. He didn't die, but ended up dying later. The room had tons of smoke and water damage. The house then sat empty for about 4 yrs. My husband and his first wife bought the house "as is" for $40,000. It is a large house, 2 story, a finished attic and a large unfinished basement.

The house was in rough shape. The room with the fire was uninhabitable. The basement floods at every heavy rain and it needs a new roof. My husband and his ex separated months after buying the house. I moved in here in 2006. We have a toddler. We have made several improvements in the last 4 yrs. We redone the fire room and that is our bedroom. We still need a new roof and the basement still floods and leaks and its always damp.

Our problem is that neither my husband nor I is handy at all. My husband is an electrician and has been around construction and knows a little. He works 60 hrs a week and has zero interest in getting anything done around the house. I have even went as far as calling him lazy. He does no work on the house at all and gets mad at me when I suggest we hire someone to fix something. For example our bathtub upstairs leaks and I know the floorboards are rotten underneath. This doesn't concern him at all nor does the flooding basement (and our washer, dryer, furnace is down there). He think it's ok to have a flooded basement a few times a year.

He would love to sell the house. We still owe close to $30,000 on it. I don't think we could sell it unless we have a new roof and get the basement fixed. He wants to not ever own another home again, which I think is ludicrous. I DO NOT want to rent for the rest of my life! Our house is a constant source of fights for us. I think certain things need to be done, but I don't have the ability or the money to fix them. I think he could fix these things if he tried, but he thinks he shouldn't have to work around the house on his days off.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me? I just think my husband has the wrong attitude about all of this. Every homeowner deals with maintenance and repairs, right? We already had a home improvement loan but some of that $$ was used to pay his ex wife her share of the house.

What do other people do who buy fixer-uppers?
He has not always worked 60 hrs a week, just recently. We also have car payments, child support to his ex, our child's expenses. We are not in any cr card debt.
According to him there WAS black mold when he moved it, but there hasn't been any sign of any. It's not like the house is horrible. We have nice things, it's clean, it looks great from the outside & ppl say we have a nice home. The main issue is the wet basement and the old roof.
Our daughter is 3, has lived here her whole life and has never been sick or had allergies, thankfully.

A. For a wet basement you first need a sump pump and a pipe to get the water out of the basement.

Generally, if the basement floods, it means rainwater is finding a way to the basement, so you have to be outside the house and see where the water is draining away from the driplines on the roof or the gutterspouts. Then you have to see where water uphill is draining towards the house, and find a way to effectively divert that water.

But you might have a different problem, one that one of my neighbors up the street has - an underground stream from a spring. Every time there is a heavy rain, the stream flows under his house and some water comes up to the surface. So he always gets water under the house, but since it is pier and beam, he doesn't have a basement to flood. But it means a large supply of water is present to encourage mold and mildew.

If your husband is an electrician, he should know how dangerous it is to have electrically operated appliances like washers, dryers in the vicinity of water. Basically, you have electrical code violations and the company that insures your home can refuse to provide liability coverage until the situation is brought up to code, and can refuse to pay out in the event someone is injured by electrical shock - even if it is you or your toddler.

At least get some kind of platform made so that you can get the electrical appliances off the floor, and if that is already done, make some kind of platform so you can touch the appliances without standing on the floor or in water. And keep the toddler away from the area when it rains. Lock the kid up if necessary, you know how kids like to play in the water.

The rotting wood under the upstairs bathtub is another disaster waiting to happen. Can you use a different bathtub ? You do not want the rot to become so bad the tub sinks into the floor or crashes through with someone in it. The plumbing for the bathtub could be a challenge as the piping is hidden, removing the bathtub to make repairs will take two or three people, and the carpentry necessary to remove and replace the rotted and damaged wood will be a challenge for a carpenter. I suggest it be done because often there is also rot around the toilet piping. You have to get all the drain and supply plumbing corrected to keep this from happening again.

Yes, you have problems. I suggest getting a camera and a videocam and use them to record what you see in the bathroom, and in the basement and the water outside when it rains, and then discuss it with your neighbors and see who they can recommend for landscaping and plumbing and carpentry. Get several names.

Repairs to the bathtub will not be cheap, probably three or four thousand dollars. Two plumbers and two carpenters for about three days, maybe less.

As for the basement, you need to see where the water comes from to direct it all away from the basement, so that will take a long time. From that you can contact a landscaper who can get a crew to shovel dirt, break rock, dig trenches, and whatever else to get the water to flow around the house but not into the house. Another thousand dollars a day for a crew of four and their machinery (such as a backhoe or DitchWitch) and any soil removal.
