On the bottle it says Add 4 fluid ounces to treat 1 full gallon of plain water or washer fluid in washer tank. What does this mean? Do I put a gallon of water in my windshield washer reservoir and only 4 ounces of the rain-x?
The MLS was obviously inaccurate. I would get out of it. Sounds like alot of headache unless you got a really really good deal. As far as the pipes they will cut out the bad sections and solder new ones in place. Mold is a concern also the warped wood. This could get expensive.
Pipe that have not burst yet will not burst later but all the joints could be damaged enough to leak very slowly and separate later. I agree with all pipe joints must be repaired and re-soldered. Consider how much damage one leaky pipe in a wall might do after you have the house all fixed up. I do not think it is worth the risk.
Well, it sounds like the bank is going to be picking up the tab on this. based on the sound logical advice of the second group, I would go for complete replacement. I would also try to get bids on having all the copper replaced with PEX(flexible)tubing. it is way more resistant to bursting than any other product out there. Get a mold remediation expert out there as well. and an electrician too. if you are sensitive to mold or have allergies, you may not want to buy this house. it sounds like a HUGE can of worms. GOOD LUCK ! ! !

By the time you buy a $1.88 gallon of standard washer fluid and add the dollars worth of 4oz of Rain-X you can buy a $2.88 gallon of Rain-X year round ICE and Bug repellant washer fluid. simple math. buy the packaged product and don't mess with the additive, if you already bought the additive, use it up at the rate of 4 oz per gallon of basic solvent - then just buy the good stuff
