Okay, house (mostly) passed inspection.

The roof over the addition will need replacing almost immediately. The Radon testing should be finished by tomorrow. The septic dye test needs to happen. After that it should be (fairly) smooth sailing to closing. I hope. (Prolly shouldn'ta said that aloud, eh?)

There is a truly staggering amount of parking space at this place. Whole lotta basement too.
I'm mostly focused on horizontal space in the kitchen and having a bathtub for the first time in almost five years.


And getting the orange carpet out and the walls painted. (You don't understand. You couldn't possibly understand until you see it for yourself. Which will not be happening until we've closed. Then I might make the pictures happen.)

Successfully stared down the sellers.

The roof's getting fixed tomorrow and we'll pay them back at closing.

Now it just has to pass the septic dye test and then it's off to the lawyers for the final throes.

Sgloop!

You can has house?!

Oh, wait.. sorry. I got really excited for you for a minute there, then realized you meant me..

To top it off, before he left for the winter my father told his tenant (a friend of mine who I set up with his place) that she needed to be out at the end of April. She's got four cats and an elderly dog and is having trouble finding a house to rent.
We have a tenant lined up if the sale goes through, but they're on a month to month basis.
I asked her if she'd be interested, and she said maybe. She does, luckily, have another prospect on the line.. so I won't feel bad if she turns me down or the deal falls through, and I won't feel too badly if she decides it's a good offer.
I'm not poaching his tenant, since he's already essentially kicked her out. I feel responsible for her having to put up with him for this long, and for her having to find another place at all somehow.
OTOH, not technically my problem and there's a bird in the hand.

It's always nice to replace yourself tenant wise. We will try to do that when we move.
