House Updates

Hi all, here are the latest updates on the house:
we put in the official paper to the seller about the inspection requests. We basically asked for the roof, furnace to be cleaned and serviced, fixing a small problem with the AC, cleaning the sewer lines, and cleaning out the trash in the crawl space. Our Realtor said that the sewer issue is not a huge one, that every house in the area has the same issue, and if all of a sudden the toilet doesn't flush or the sinks back up, that would be when we would need to fix/redo the sewer lines. He said nothing huge usually happens with these old sewer lines (like backing up into our yard or anything). So that is good!
We talked with our Realtor and he said the seller's agent said that he is 99.9% sure that the seller is going to agree to all of the things we requested. It is all pending some costs of some of the things (she is checking out different prices I guess). So that is also good news!
Some not-so-good-news, we realized that we got approved off of a paycheck that is our highest paycheck in the year (it was June's, the end of the year paycheck). We aren't getting a loan for anywhere near what we got approved for, so we should be fine, but we are just expecting the worst-case scenario right now. So, we find out in a few days if our loan will be approved, and we will let you all know as soon as we do! In my mind, this is the last biggest thing to overcome, so cross your fingers!!!
We just uploaded a few pics, so we will add another post right now...
