Not how I wanted to spend my anniversary

Seriously, I had to take another day off to deal with the repairs and other stuff from the inspection. They said the furnace was remarkably clean considering the age, but they cleaned the heat exchanger anyway, because the home inspector and buyer wanted it done. He retaped the ductwork in the attic too. The chimney sweep also said it was actually in very good shape considering I had never had it cleaned before.

The bad news was that the termite inspector found a small tunnel of infestation. No damage inside or really out yet, but they have to treat it...which requires drilling holes and costs almost as much as a new roof...something the buyer also wants. I have to take off yet another day from work tomorrow to wait for the pest control folks to do their thing. I have been hemorrhaging cash, my savings is completely depleted. If this sale falls through, it is really going to suck.

Now for a little good news. I have been happily married for three years! Oh, and the status on the shipping of the spinning wheel shows that it is actually on its way to Jackson.

Happy Anniversary! What a lovely time of year to tie the knot!

Good luck with the house stuff. I still have my fingers crossed for you!

I know how you feel. We had actual termite damage (thanks to previous residents) in our old place and it was a pain to take care of.

Happy Anniversary!
