Getting back into the swing of things at work. While I was out, the coworker in the nextdoor cube that played his music too loud, moved halfway across our cube room. He's a great guy and a coworker-friend, but I'm also so glad he doesn't sit next to me anymore, lol.
The closing for a second duplex is this Friday. It really got pulled out of the fire. Unfortunately, the video inspection of the plumbing did not go well. Similar issues to the "next door duplex" that we closed on last Friday, though not as severe. For the first one, we fixed it before closing but it ended up costing us $23K. Really, really upsetting and disheartening.
For this second one, the quote was $12,500. We thought the buyer was going to walk, because he was already unreasonably impatient over how long it took for the roof to be fixed after a portion of it was removed during a tornado. But he agreed to still close if I would take that plumbing repair quote off the sales price. OMG, YES!!!! Considering I'd have to do something about it for anyone buying the house, I'm happy to give him that concession, wash my hands of it, and walk away.
He lives out of town and is doing the final walk through, only 40 minutes before we are scheduled to close. I'm a little nervous about that because he has been very persnickety and kind of a pain to deal with. We didn't do everything he wanted, but we did everything we said we would. But it was weird because usually repairs agreed to are part of the documentation. But only the roof, drywall, and that piping concession are part of the Purchase Agreement. The rest of the repair requests were "verbal" e-mail/texts that amounted to, "We'll do ABC, but not XYZ." So anyway, I'm hoping he doesn't have some delusion in his head that we were going to fix everything he wanted. Or if he does, at least he will still close anyway.
Just keep crossing my fingers everything goes smoothly and we will be free of this second one by the weekend!
