Passed inspection with flying colors... well, sort of
Posted in Daily Life
Our house was just
inspected and the buyers only asked for a few things. The house is 70 years
old, so you can imagine that there was actually quite a bit that they could have
asked for (like two recalled space heaters that our inspector didn't
bother to point out when we bought the house, and yes, the recall was
before we were even married, let alone living in this house 
). But in
the end, the only things they asked to have repaired were a leak in the chimney
and two plumbing leaks that we weren't aware of. But they also gave us the
option of paying $1000 of their closing costs in lieu of the repairs, so we went
ahead and took that option since it simplified things for us, not having to deal
with repairmen. After all, my time is still being taken up with two small
children and a husband, my job, my chicken drama (update: everybody else is
doing fine!), thinking about the fact that I should start packing, and
trying to find a place to live!!  So, the last hurdle
is the appraisal, but that shouldn't be too awful. Closing day is two weeks
(plus or minus) and counting!!
