This has been a tough week. Oh, it's only Tuesday.
The home inspector who went through my townhouse that's up for sale "found" several things that weren't wrong at all, and took me literally DAYS to get checked and re-inspected all for nothing.
On the other hand, there's (supposedly - I didn't find any) a little mold in the attic which is costing me $1,500 out of pocket. In addition, a weather seal on the roof wore out, for another $500 (which is valid).
NOW they see old termite tunnels from when I had the house treated in 2003, but they want to likely charge another $500 "just to be sure" there are no new termites. The guy that treated it in 2003 didn't dig out the tunnels, just sprayed. Not good enough to sell it. SO, likely a retreatment has to be done. SIGH!
IN ADDITION - The realtor called me today and said the TITLE COMPANY called the water utility of the County, and my NEW bill (to be issued next week) is $474.00!! The realtor said that's obviously wrong, so I had to call the county. After getting my blood pressure skyrocketing, I reached someone at the Water Utility, who said my last bill will be $25 (no one has been in the house since Nov.). Of course, I had to call the realtor with a contact name at the Utility. He called the dumb title company. SIGH!
That's just the money part of it. I mentioned it took hours to let HVAC people in to do a thorough inspection of the relatively new system, because the dumbass home inspector said it wasn't working right- but it was working "better than ever" the HVAC specialists concluded.
Further, Tom's stepdad (a retired plumber) took care of 2 small things that needed fixing this weekend and one that didn't.
SO... EVERY DAY this week brings about another $500 mystery expense... Is it FRIDAY yet?
