Yep–another offer is all counter-offered and signed by all parties, so the waiting game begins. Again. This time our buyer isn’t a first-time homeowner, so she should have some more realistic expectations regarding an almost 60-year-old house.
Our agent spilled the beans about the new steel entry door I bought for the garage but haven’t picked up from The Door Store yet, so I do have to go get it and install it in the garage, rather than seeing if I can get the money back for the door. It’s a bit ironic that the new steel, weatherstripped door will be installed about three feet away from a two-inch diameter hole straight through the garage’s outer wall. But it is true that rainwater doesn’t pour through that hole in the wall, and it does pour through the rotting interior door someone installed as the entry door to the garage at some point. So we’re going to go for the good karma and replace that door. There is also some metal flashing stored in the rafters of the garage, some of which I will attempt to insert under the shingles and down into the gutter, so that rain rolling down the roof doesn’t fall between the gutter and the board the gutter’s mounted on and rot off the new door frame.
Anyway, wish us more and/or continued luck with the sale of our house. We’d rather stop paying for the thing.

That two-house deal is kinda expensive, isn’t it? Our buyer’s buyer is finally approved for a real loan, so we are back in escrow again! Good luck to all of us dual-mortgage payors…
