What Noooooooooow?

Sunrise: New ideas. New ventures. A fresh start. Pail: Time to get out of a situation. Box: You will receive a gift. Broom: New home. New attitude.

I am interrupting my scheduled break-from-blogging to bring this breaking news: SO...it appears that the sellers of the house we're buying are refusing to fix any of the repairs on the list. This time there are 21 repairs listed rather than the 42 of the other house. Most of these are fairly minor. Of the 21, we had 6 slated as 'please repair' to the seller. This is all fairly standard procedure. We thought maybe they'd do a few of them but not all. But ooooooh no! They are not doing a.single.one. The two that we especially hoped they would fix were the radon and the CO2 leaking through a rusted flue into the house. These are health hazards and should be fixed. There are a couple of other things that probably should be fixed, too, but we are not going to be nitpicky.

Annnyywayyy. We're waiting to hear back from our realtor. Yesterday she tried contacting the realtor for the seller and they didn't even call us back. What the fook? Seriously! I'm getting the WORST sellers. We thought we'd reap what we sowed. We've been trying to be nice sellers. We fixed major items on our to-do list. We are paying closing costs. We came down on the price a lot, etc.

But people are greedy. People are mean, sometimes. I understand that. But really? Nothing?! Not a single item fixed on the list? Oye. And there are three people selling this house because it's an estate. Surely they could scrape together the money to fix the radon?

Sooooo we're feeling a bit frustrated. The above cards are what I pulled yesterday. It's a strange combination because they are repeat cards but I am not 100% sure what they mean for this situation. We can't easily get out of this one. We have less than 30 days before closing. We have to be out of our current residence on March 16th. And we don't have time to approve financing for another house and close on it before that date. So we're kinda stuck with this. The 'Pail' card confuses me for this reason.

My husband I already decided that regardless of whether they pay for any of the repairs we're just going to go ahead with the sale because we are sick of this B.S. and we do really like the house and overall it's a good house in good condition.

So that's the update! Let's hope the 'Gift' we receive is helpful to our situation. :)

Much Love,
