it gets worse

It gets worse.... Carol went over to our house to shut off the breaker so they could turn the electricity back on and since the electricity was turned off the sump pump didn't work so there is now 2 inches of water in the corner of our basement. Our basement has NEVER flooded - well it did once from sewer backed up from the street because tree roots had grown through the pipes - gross but the city came and fixed that for us. I was pregnant and didn't have a bathroom for a few days. Very interesting and another story for another blog. But then there are some tresses (I guess you could call them that) on the exterior of our home that need to be painted before they pass inspection. This house was built in 1924 and these are mainly decorative tresses and we've always wanted to paint them but never had a ladder big enough and since there are only 2 in the back of the house we never bothered. But some company is coming out tomorrow to paint them and we're not sure who pays for that one. Its just paint - why should that matter for the loan to go through? And why wasn't all this brought up a month ago???? I'm almost afraid to answer the phone anymore. And why did all this have to wait until AFTER the supposed closing date. We're just praying nothing else goes wrong.
