A different direction...

Ok, so we are moving on and forward after fighting to get our Earnest Money back from the previous house we had placed an offer on...the house with way too many issues. After threatening the homeowners/sellers with reporting them to the County Inspection and Permit Department, and warning their real estate agent not to market their house, unless they want to be reported to The Board of Realtors, they finally gave us a contract releasing us from any obligations to the Dolk property and promising to return our Earnest money.

Since that time, our most recent property/house has been inspected and passed, and the homeowners even installed a new hot water heater because the old one was just a year past being able to be warranted by Home Warranty.

We've been over to that house several times, and though I wasn't in love with all of it at the beginning (John walked into that house and said "This is the one", I said "I'm just not sure"), the house is slowly revealing all of it's positive attributes and I'm starting to feel like I can call it home....and very soon, too! The closing is on September 20th!
