As to point no. 3, you must have gotten a poor inspection service.
Get the right person to do this properly before signing anything.  As
before, I recommend George Birmingham (in the Durham phone book). 
The unscrupulous builders and *all* the real estate agents hate him
because he torpedoes so many deals by exposing shoddy workmanship
and code violations on houses.  He is perfect if you are buying, but
don't let him on your property if you are selling!   :-)
