Love that bench!
It’s interesting that nothing has gone smoothly in my quest to sell this house. The inspection came back noting a ton of electrical problems and someone before us dig out a partial basement and may have made the foundation unsafe. They paid top dollar for a house that they assumed was move in ready. So now we have a electrician coming and a structural engineer for estimates to remedy these issues. Luckily they love the house and still want to buy it. So the price of the repairs will need to be subtracted from the cost of the house. They can handle repairs after closing. Needless to say I would have been money ahead if my ex could have bought the house.
Had a big moving sale the past 2 days and got rid of tons of stuff and made 500. I sold everything cheap and had very little at the end. We have a huge trailer full of stuff for the dump that I put there. Still a lot of stuff left and tomorrow we are having a talk about he sorts way too slow and is going to have to let me help him sort with guidelines he gives me. I am really pissed off that my stuff has been packed for months and his stuff has become my problem. His son won’t help although his dad has been helping him remodel his entire house. I am exhausted and my entire body hurts all the time. Ugh!
Sorry to hear about the issues! Slow packers drive me nuts!
Oh dear. Hope that it gets resolved quickly.

TT, I'm so sorry that things are not going as smoothly as they probably should. Hugs to you and I hope you get a chance for some rest soon.

I'm sorry TT. I may have missed some stories somewhere. I'm confused as to why his departure with his "crap" is your problem? Are you concerned he won't get out?Originally Posted by Teacher Terry
I'm sorry this is wreaking havoc with your body and your mental well-being.
He has developed a hoarding issue and without me helping, directing and supervising it won’t get done, the buyers will refuse to close and I will lose my condo. The owners didn’t plan on waiting 2 months which they have. They won’t be nice a second time in a very hot market.
Terry, it all sucks. I get it. Just this morning I got a text from my son who is buying our house. We gave him a below-market price so we could sell "as is" to him specifically and he sent me a picture of drywall issues in the ceiling in the garage. He prefaced it by saying "I know as-is is as-is, BUT..."
As for the stuff, yes, it is physically and emotionally draining to get rid of stuff. Just consider that you are ALMOST there. This is the last mile and soon you can put it all behind you.

That's odd! Is there some weird contingency in your sale agreement that you have to have everything out of the house prior to closing? I've never heard of such a thing.

Only the junk not our furniture and household items. They saw a giant shed as big as a trailer, garage and partial dirt basement full of crap and want it gone. They are concerned about inheriting it.
