Home Inspection, Parts I and II

We had the home inspection the other day. Only a few things that need to get fixed. The sellers, however, balked at fixing any other them, calling it a "laundry list." It is, however, important that the newel post get fixed. We don't want anyone taking an unintentional leap from the 2nd floor. Upon hearing what her clients said, the seller's agent stepped up and said she'd get the items fixed (at her cost -- including the hose bibb and the door). Great news. We didn't want to have to haggle over a few last minute items.

We're getting an estimate for how much to move our heavy items (bed, armoire, dressers) from a local moving company. Many of our friends have used them and said they worked quickly and did a good job. We hope to have a "moving" party for our friends here to help us with the small boxes. Payment = food and drink.

My parents are graciously coming up to help us at the end of the month --cleaning up the old and new places before the respective moves. This will be a big help. We are glad to be leaving our old neighborhood here in Pasco. The gang graffiti and the proximity to Walmart will not be missed.
