  I bought a home that Mr Wharton restored in 2013 and I will never purchase anything from him again. Upon moving into the home the plumbing for the entire second floor failed. We could not shower or use our kitchen for about 4 days until we could get a plumber to come out. We also found out that the kitchen cannot have more than 1 appliance running at a time or it blows a breaker. That means we have to choose whether we want to use the microwave or have the AC on, or make toast and use the dishwasher. That winter we also found out the outside drainage didn't work properly, so the entire back walkway was frozen over with thick ice. I also found out the heating system doesn't work correctly. The downstairs has no heat from the furnace, there are literally no heating ducts to any of the rooms. The living room stays moderately warm, but the bathroom feels like an inferno while the 1st/2nd bedroom and office freeze. The icing on the cake though is that the kitchen pipes freeze extremely easily. This is because there is literally no insulation under the kitchen floor or around the pipes. After about a year the bathtub in the downstairs cracked across the bottom. Replacing the tub was a nightmare. The tub was jammed into a space that was way to small and then the dry wall was installed *over* the tub lips. I also found out the reason the bottom of the tub broke was because there was a 1 square foot hole under the tub. I also had some contractors come to fix the kitchen pipe problem and they mentioned some issues with the roof. I asked them to take a look and they said they had never seen such shody work. The best part is my experience isn't the only one. I have talked to at least 2 other people in similar situations as well.
