I didn't mean to scare or depress or frustrate you, I hope I didn't; it's just that the logistics look very complicated here; even if they went well. I'd be like lying or something if I didn't tell you that with the superficial, off site info we have, the scales have tipped too far. I sort of liked this house and wanted to see you get it. But.....I've also been down that road. It's difficult for a conscientious pro to organize that work, and he would need the determination and skills of a Perry Mason. Too much time pressure too; going to be (would be around here) difficult to get contracting people to prioritize the job. There are easier, less hassle, more payment certain, more profitable things for most of them to do.

Well, just logged back on after talking to our agent. Of course she doesn't want us to nickle and dime the guy to death, she wants the deal to go through and she "believes" he will do the work, etc., etc., etc., blah blah blah. I am preparing a professional quality Sales Contract Addendum which tracks the one my pricey real estate attorney used to get us out of the last house for about $1,400 in legal fees. I am going to spell out in excruciating detail everything we want done, as per the home inspection, and hold him to the 7/23/99 closing date. I will especially demand that he pull permits and have county inspections. We can't just "walk." We have to give him the addendum and let him decide whether he does the work or not, and let him sign off on it or not. If he does, fine. But no tickee, no laundry.
