Happy Birthday my love...

I don't think Beth expected the day we had today to be a great birthday present. We were up at 6:15 am this morning. We had to be at the house for inspection by 8am. When we got there, the inspector was already there and had taken a look at the septic tank. It was not good news. Long story short, the house needs a new septic system and it will cost about $20,000. We stopped him for doing any more inspections on the house. With that number we will never make any profit on the house at this point. We called Dawn to tell her the news. Dawn filled out some paper work back to the bank's party telling them about the problem and that we would only be interested in the house if they came down $20,000 on the price. We did talk to the township about hooking up to the public sewer system and that would be more money and take a lot longer than what we want to do. So now we are waiting on the bank to come back with their decision. So we are on hold for this part, but still have another 3 more inspections on the house if this can be resolved. So we had to hurry and call off the delivery of oil, since there is no point in putting it in if we are not going ahead with the purchase. What a day of phone calls and issues. On top of all of that, there were several calls that Beth had to make regarding her day coming home tomorrow. But I think everything is done for now and we are going to dinner at the Melting Pot for Beth's birthday and then over to Dawns house to sign more paper work afterwards. So Happy Birth my love and I am sure things will get better.
