Now Playing: Day 2570-Next GP Chapter... Turning Lemons Into Lemonade :)
Another record has been officially broken!
My prior record of sleeping 12 straight hours has been officially broken after going to sleep last night at 8:30pm and waking up this morning at 11:00am.
Yep, all part of the internal war within continuing it's downhill spiral. I can no longer mentally fight the physical need of some serious sleep! I am also on my umpteen round of some pretty, down right, vicious medication. Another round of labs and cultures are also waiting to come back, after another round had to be taken a few days ago. Another rebound, antibiotic resistant infection. This is what happens when the body begins to break down. Dental work? That no longer is holding up after taking an entire year, last year, in order to complete. My dental team and oral surgeon were hoping that the dental repairs would last, however, they didn't, as they too are failing. Somehow, in the middle of everything, including one very physically tired body. I have to find the time this week for another round of dental work. Again.
What I miss most, is the beautiful snow... Magical visions of beautiful white snow, that somehow, always brought a huge smile to my face. What happened to the winter season? I know! Global warming, by the hands of man. Not nature, but by our own doing. Sad, but true. Slowly, winter season will be no longer. Instead of Mr. Trump worrying about building a wall. Maybe he should first focus on the most important matter at hand. Global warming. I predict that sooner, than later, the American population will be the ones saying, "YOUR FIRED!" Just my opinion in this great place we call, America. Where anyone can run for President. I still favor, Ronald McDonald for the next presidential term. At least, he will make sure that everyday is a HAPPY MEAL!
While the world is warming and winters are now more like, springtime. Our house of lemons continues to sink and crumble. We have gotten so desperate, that even duct tape and rubber sealant in a can, seems like a temporary good idea. Temporary, is the key word! It could also be a minimum 3-day temporary fix with a home that is anything, but remaining stable on a continuously, shifting foundation. Will this home ever resell in the future or find itself being fully repaired? Per Geo engineer today... Not likely. It's a shame if you think about it, but more so a shame of such deceit by a group of mere liars. Did I ever mention, how much I despise those who lie? Especially, when lying could literally cause mortality to an entire family. Need I say more? Nah! I think I have more than once, gotten my point across. Well... There is always church for the entire involved party. A chance to make right with God.
Eric had a meeting with an attorney this afternoon. A very productive meeting with a lot of great information! Let's just say, that we are doing everything we are told. All good things come to those who wait. God help those who took a part in such a very fraudulent disclosure. The attorney was very disappointed and saddened by such a horrible thing to do, especially when all parties involved knew exactly what they were hiding, what they were selling and stuck together like some old western town. Us? We are considered the outsiders, from out of town. Out of state. Not the peaceful, little, lazy, river town we were so anxiously awaiting... It's most certainly not everyone in this town who think with only their wallets, instead of thinking first, with their heart. You can't blame the entire town, but we can only hope that our actions prevent this from happening to another family. That is what we hope for the most and so does the attorney we met today. The same goes for many others involved that have also been affected.
Another great blog lesson to be learned? Per, by our own home buying experience...
Don't ever be afraid to bring a tool box with you during the first initial walk through, or even during the final 2, before closing. Don't be afraid to lift that huge piece of art work on the wall. Don't be afraid to move the dresser that seems to be oddly placed or even wall border that looks fairly new. Just run your fingers across the border, let your hands do the talking! I also suggest removing one vent, in order to see what's inside the ducts and what you could potentially end up breathing. Bring a flashlight with you, for homes like this one, where they recently repainted with dark colors in order to further conceal problems. Flush the toilets, turn on the water, look for Drano bottles, open the cabinets. Heck! Just go ALL OUT! Heeheeheehee... You may look nuts to the realtor, but isn't looking nuts far better than dealing with a bunch of nuts when you end up buying a house that was anything, but true to the sellers disclosure?.. There are things that even your inspector will most likely, not do during inspection. There are far more things with a VA loan, that VA appraisers will not do for the bank.
Being proactive during such a huge purchase will not only save you time and money, but could prevent you from ever having to experience our nightmare. Who cares if you look nuts bringing in tools during a walk through? Tis better to be a safe nut, than to be a sorry nut!
Just some good ole friendly advice we would like to pass on to others. Those who are getting ready to search for their new home during the upcoming home buying season...
