After much fuss and bother we finally have a closing date! We close this Friday. I got the confirmation from the lawyer this morning. The seller's lawyer d ragged their tail about getting ours the needed papers, so he had to work a t top speed because our grant expires on the fourth.
This is splendid news because a chunk of wood in the exterior wall of our k itchen had apparently rotted, and it fell away a couple of weeks ago. the r esult of that is a hole you can climb through, and the top of it comes up a bove floor level. It seems to have damaged the plumbing under the sink as well, and there is a very fast leak in the feed line. A big draft and a s erious plumbing problem, somehow just the final farewell to this place I wo uld have expected.
Now if the Last Landlord would just get his butt over here so I can give hi m his termination of residency letter...

PS The grant is from a private foundation in conjunction with a bank in Pi ttsburgh. It is not a government grant of any sort. Just saying because some relativ es and such have given me grief based on assumptions.
