House Update

[helwen]

We do have a bid on the house, and the house inspection, termite inspection, and appraisal all happened this morning. Good thing too, as there is in fact a few termites under the front porch. A previous owner had left a pile of wood under there (not pressure-treated) -- L says they were laid out kind of like a floor, perhaps so people didn't have to kneel in the dirt under there. So we will have to have spraying done, but only around the porch foundation, as very few have actually gotten into any of the wood of the house itself. Phew! We still have some other things to do at the house as well, or have done, but it's getting there.

The mason came this morning as well, to look at what would be involved with repointing the chimney, and also a new cap for it, and a little work on the basement support pillars and such -- all safe and functional, but we want to make sure it's all good for the long haul.

L did a lot of electrical work Friday -- cutting baseboards for the living/dining room, including the holes for the existing outlet boxes to come through, then mounting them. And I think the downstairs bathroom ceiling light went in on Friday also.

Once the buyers have a chance to look over the house inspection report, we'll discuss items and see who's willing to do what.

One more inspection to go, on October 2nd -- smoke/CO2 alarm inspection; all the alarms are installed and are brand new, so not worried about that. Thank goodness!

Meanwhile, also getting ready for Ashfield Fall Festival (Oct. 6-7). Also in October, Franklin County Fiber Twist (20-21) and New York Sheep and Wool Show (27-28) -- assuming life doesn't take a left turn at Albuquerque...

Hopefully it will all go smoothly, and we can proceed to close on October 12.
