Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I wish I was closer...I could come over evenings and hang and help with stuff.

That would be so much fun. I wish you were closer, too.

You have put SO MUCH WORK into that house! It just seems unfair for them to come through with all these demands.

True. But then again, they didn't see the place before I worked on it. They're just seeing what's still wrong, not what's been fixed. Most of what they're requesting is small, and legitimate.

Apparently the inspector they used has a reputation as being on a power trip, and likes to brag about how he notices stuff that no one else would. Most of the stuff he listed as needing work is stuff that you're going to find in 99% of older houses. The buyer, who's a first-time home buyer, didn't realize this, and freaked. His realtor talked some sense into him, though.

What's cracking me up is that this inspector didn't notice two things that I was certain he would. At settlement, I'm tempted to say, "in addition to the things you requested, I also had the electrician fix the broken light switch that your inspector didn't list on the report."

Your realtor might be able to help with this.

I'll ask him when I meet with him tonight. Thanks for the suggestion.

BWAH! That would be priceless.

It's very tempting.

I'm now making lists of what needs to be done, and figuring out when things need to be done, so I don't feel like it all has to be done NOW!NOW!NOW!

ION, it is raining quite heavily. I don't want to go to work today.

so I don't feel like it all has to be done NOW!NOW!NOW!

That sounds like a very good plan.

Raining, huh? That sucks. Are you forcasted to get snow later today like we are?

No snow, so at least we've got that much going for us.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm not sure whether to laugh, bap you, or bracket you, billytea.

That's me. Schrödinger's tea.

I'm blaming my mom for the snow. And, if she gets this job, it will have been worth it!

That's me. Schrödinger's tea.

Now with cream, milk, lemon, sugar, or honey. Umlauts come as gift with purchase.

Anne what kind of repairs are you looking at?
