Okay; a quick venting post and maybe later I will post about my vacation and some pics of Justin.
Vent #1: I made it home safely last night - I wish I could say the same for my luggage. There were two flights after mine and she said that I should hear from them by 8am with a delivery time for my bags....still no word; I really hope that it will be returned. I had my leopard print jewelry saver with all of my jewelry in there - dumb I know; lesson learned.
Vent #2: Our house in Elgin failed the radon inspection. I was not going to blog that we had a buyer for our house because I didn't want to jinx the sale, but it's getting screwed up anyways. We will now have to pay to install a mitigation system, plus the buyers have about 10 other punch list items. We are telling them that we'll do the radon system, but to go you know where on the other stuff - it's pretty minor anyways (sump pump back up battery dead, attic fan doesn't work - WTF we didn't even know we had an attic fan, they want a hand rail for the bottom steps below the landing to the basement - it's like 3 steps, and some electrical stuff)- and they are getting a fabulous deal on the house to begin with. Please pray that we can come to a fair negotiation and be done with this house! I just feel like they are being pretty petty considering the purchase price. We shall see....
Ugh.

Hey Melissa,
I wanted to let you know that we had the Radon mitigation system installed at our house and our than the cost ($850 ouch), it was pretty painless.
just wanted you to know i feel for you! buyers expect the world in this market even when they're getting a house for a steal. i hope you can work out a deal and get rid of your house. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Hi Melissa,
Speaking from a buyer's perspective, if they want your house as bad as we want ours I hope they agree to your terms. We haven't gotten our radon test back yet, but even if it fails we would probably ask them to split the mitigation costs with us at the most!
Picky people...ugh. There are a few little things wrong with the house we're buying but we're not screaming.
congratulations on finding a potential buyer, I hope it works out for you, you've been waiting WAY too long!
ugh!! house selling SUCKS. good luck to you!!
