I could just cry

We live in the middle of nowhere. I know that. All the houses in this town are old, old, old. They all have issues. I know that. We knew whatever we bought would need work. So, we bought an old farmhouse and remodeled it. We bought at the upper end of the market out here, but really there isn't much choice. Lower priced properties would have needed a lot more work, so I think it all evens out in the end. When we bought we even discussed bulldozing the house down and starting from scratch. We did all the right inspections and were OK. Now yesterday we find out that our septic has to be replaced. What??? What was the point of getting a septic inspection before we bought? We specifically told the inspector that we wouldn't buy the house if the septic needed to be replaced. We certainly didn't include a new septic system in our budgeting. So, I could just cry. Just a little vent. I'll be better in a few days.
