309 Verbena








Being on the market with 2 small kids running around is just plain CHAOS! I swear everyday since this started by the end it is a Calgon day. We have 2 offers on the table and one potential.

Offer #1 came in at 20k under and wanted (get ready for the long list) our frig, washer and dryer (ok, at this point we are fine), shed (Ok, who wants to move it) mounted indoor and ourdoor speakers(are you nuts) AND hottub (crazy, psycho). If you are coming to us with a list that long that adds up to at least 12k then don't start 20k under. Oh and we need to move in 3 weeks!

Offer #2 came in at just 2 under. We are freaking excited UNTIL we read they would like almost 11k in closing costs, the playscape, shed, us to fix EVERYTHING that may come up in inspection. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of living through one they are RIDICULOUS! They list everything and anything that noone needs to or every fixes. Example from our condo was the hot water heater was off level by 1/8 in. Sure, I'll get right on it. So offer #2 while it starts off good fails quickly.

Potential #3 we love them! We want them to have our home. They are level headed, mature and realistic. They just need to find out if our ARC will let them add on our driveway.



PLEASE let this be over soon!



Home build update. Met the new concrete team today and guess what...they seem to actually know what they are doing.

Set back #101- During the rain storm Thurday night and I mean all night storm our back wall to our living room caved! Apparently Team 2 used those paper bags instead of the plastic and the weight of all the water in them collapsed the entire 7ft wall!

We are told we pour at 8am Monday! Now do we have the babies put their mark permanently on the concrete or not?!?
