Home Inspection Complete
I’m pleased to report that our home inspection is now complete, and the inspector only found two tiny problems… First off, our garage door opener wasn’t properly adjusted, so it didn’t reverse properly upon contact with a blockage (or a kid — yikes!). Second, the drain plug in one of our sinks didn’t close properly. All in all, it took me about twenty minutes to fix both things, and the inspection contingency is now a thing of the past. We should be in the clear until closing as long as the buyers don’t do something stupid like try to back out of the deal.

Comment by jim — Apr 24th 2006 @ 8:30 amWow, none of the inspections I had to go through to buy my house came back with only two minor items…I’m jealous. Way to keep your house in good shape.
