Congratulations, Crankin!

Hope everything goes smoothly with the sale and you can move forward quickly. Sounds like it will all be fine.

Congratulations, Crankin! Glad you're seeing the light at the end of that tunnel.

We are moving ahead with the home sale... inspection went well, our agent was there, and we monitored it on the video camera we have outside the house. We also have audio on it, so when we heard something, we texted our agent, and she brought up the correct answer! They saw the camera (we heard them say "Oh, he might be watching us"), but they had no idea about the audio. Anyway, they want a few of the things we have left there, in the garage, so we are selling them to the buyers at a low cost, except for the power washer, we will give to our son. We will sign the P&S Friday as planned. These people are super excited, they renting an apartment with 3 kids, so they are eager.
Grateful to be done with this, almost.

Happy for you, Crankin!


I'm grateful to be loved by a profoundly wonderful woman. I want to try and get the asthma under control before I throw in the towel, but today she says (while watching me gasp) "I will leave today, lets get in the car and go now". So supportive and loving, I am so lucky!

Purchase and Sale is signed!
It was difficult, right up to the end. Our radon test came out .6 over the acceptable level. Most of you probably do not know what this is, but let's just say, it's another way for people to make $. Radon is everywhere in New England, in the air, etc., from all of the granite. The companies that do the testing scare the crap out of people. Anyway, as I said, the buyers really need to move, so we gave them some money to put a mitigation system in, or not. We aren't glowing, and we lived there for 11 years. When we sold our last house, the test came out 10 points over the limit, so we had to spend 2K to get the system put in.
Had a nice Mexican dinner to celebrate, including copious amounts of sangria.

Congrats, Crankin!

Yay, Crankin! It is hard to sell a house these days, with all the protections built-in for the buyers. I dread buying one at some point in part because I don't want to have to sell it. Buying is easy-peasy compared to selling. Glad all is going to work out for you, and the sangria sounds like a perfect celebration!
