I see the confusion now De!
Thanks for clarification....

Ah yes, the sale.

What happened was the couple was older and wanted to move there to be closer to children. They made an offer, I countered it and we agreed upon a price. Accepted!

Good faith money was deposited. A home inspection was supposedly done. We got a mysterious accusation that the drywall in basement had 100 percent moisture reading.

They also said it had mold and was waiting to be radon tested.

The drywall moisture comment was totally untrue and false. I had readings taken and they were all normal or below normal....

As for the mold, it was true. White mold which naked eye usually cannot see with aid of white light.. On floor joists.

NO big deal really.

Because the man was carrying on like a child I told the realtor to let them out of the contract and to give them back their good faith money....

I hored professional mold mitigation company to fix problem in basement and a RADON mitigation company to put a system in that reduced the radon gas level to below minimum limits....

That buyer could have had all this done by me for no cost to him. I paid about 3 grand for all of it.

Took 5 days total.

I kept house off market because I wanted to go ahead and replace the roof with a new one.

After doing so, I realized the shutters and trim needed to be repainted to a gray color that ties the roof, bricks, and trim together. I also hand cleaned the gutters and gutter guards.

Next we professionally painted the stone fireplace. This process took over a week for painting and about three weeks after the roof was replaced.

So here we are late in September now with a brand new house completely for sale with absolutely ZERO anything wrong with it.......

I can completely understand why you stated that you thought I had sold it already....

Hopefully now we will find someone who really wants a nice house with NO problems to repair or fix....

They can paint walls whatever color the want but there is NO mold, radon, roofing, exterior trim, problems left to deal with.....

Thank God!

re: "I thought I was done about a couple months ago. But then had issues with Radon Gas and white mold downstairs that needed to be taken care of. Then the roof was inspected by someone I knew and trusted and it needed replaced and the fireplace needed to be toned down and blend with the room...."

Ah. I don't think I read that post. I only remembered this one (which wasn't a year ago, I admit, but I've always been bad with time.)
