Last February we bought our first home. The home was listed with a new roof and well pump. At inspection these things came back good and we went ahead and bought the house. A few days later our insurance agents come out to do a final apraisal or what ever, they noticed a few shingels were missing, and we went ahead and called some one to fix them. While the guy was up there he noticed we were missing the tar paper under the shingels, and that the shingels were old and damaged. So obviously, not a new roof. I called our agent who was not helpful, and has been avoiding me since. So I called the seller who informed me, that there was never a new roof. I then called her agent from Vigna, who wouldn't even take my calls. Now it's November, and our well pump just died. I talked to the local guy, and was told the old owners never replaced the pump, he knows because he did the work. They just rigged it to work. It's obvious we were lied to, is there any thing we can do?

I'll be having my father, SM, sister, and my boyfriend (plus I have 2 toddlers) over for dinner tomorrow, I know I'm making chicken, but I want to make it a special dinner, so my recipes are a little to plain. I'd really appreciate if you'd share some of your favorites, and any ideas for sides.

We were told from the seller, and 2 real estate agents (Vigna Real Estate-her agent and Century 21-our agent) that the roof was replaced 2 yrs ago. In the online listing it also stated there was a new roof. Being that the rest of the house is a "handy man's speacil" the roof being done, gave us a sort of piece of mind. We had the home inspected, and the inspector, also told us the roof was in good condition. We have now owned the house 2 months, and inbetween wind and melting snow, a few shingles had been knocked loose. No big deal I assume this must be some what of normal maintance. How ever, when we had the guy come out to replace the missing shingles, he informed us that there was no tar paper layed under the shingles, and that there should be. If we don't want the roof to rot, we need to remove what's on there, and relay the entire thing with tar paper. Can the seller be held responsible for misrepresentation? Or the agents for that matter? Or are we just out on this?
