We're selling our 30-year-old condo and, as I've learned over the last three weeks while negotiating with a buyer on our first offer, you may THINK you've gotten all those niggling little things done, but the minute an inspector walks in, you're hosed. And buyers will nitpick the STUPIDEST things. So here's my hell list for this week as we wait to find out if our house is actually sold or not and if we can actually close like we're supposed to a week from today: - replace a linen closet door - replace all outlets in the kitchen, half-bath, and, yes, even the damn detached garage with GFCI outlets (GFCI's in the detached garage? Are you kidding me?) - clean out the lint in the dryer vent outside - wash out the lint in the air conditioner, which some moron installed right underneath the dryer vent - pour bleach down the air conditioner condensing hose - replace three wall 2x4's damaged by termites 20 years ago ... oh yeah, first rip down the plywood paneling covering these three 2x4's so you can even replace them - get a plumber in here so you can install a whole new gas line to the furnace because it's currently a brass connector instead of stainless steel and MIGHT, MAYBE one day wear down enough to leak a little tiny bit of gas - wait on pins and needles to see if the house appraises And then, if the appraisal goes thru (all before next Tuesday): - pack an entire 5 years worth of crap in two days, including close to 1000 books (didn't do it earlier because the buyer kept threatening to cancel the contract over the little piddly things in the inspector's report) - turn off the gas, electricity, cable - turn in forwarding address - get a storage unit - determine what goes in storage and what stays until new house is built - rent a truck - move a business, 2 adults, 2 cats, and a hyper dog from a 2-bedroom, finished basement house to a one-bedroom apartment Then we get to do it all again in November ... joy!!
