continuing from the last post... in the midst of the house being packed the original realtor called and said the prospective buyers wanted to come to the house at 2pm. i said fine as long as they know about the packing. so they came out looked all around and then left.
about 4pm the nicest plumber you ever met came to my house. he prays and watches adrian rogers every morning with a guy from our church that brad and i know very well. he just is down-home honest and got to work right away on the flooding problem.
as i had thought, there was a backup in the line and it needed to be snaked out. so first he tried it from the outtake by the laundry room - snake wasn't long enough. so he went around the side of the house, found another one and started again.
meanwhile, the realtor called and said we had an offer.
after about 2.5 hours, the clogged drain was fixed! but when i went to turn on the washer and the water faucet in the sink, guess what??? NO WATER. nothing...not even a drop. it was dry as a bone even out by the well.
did i say he was the nicest plumber in the world? well he was. he even tried to troubleshoot the well. he determined it did have power, but that's about the max he could do.
then some very good friends of ours came by and brought me dinner and the video from our Revelation class which i was really glad to watch that night. they also offered a shower in the morning at their house.
i waited up to call brad for the name of the well guy since everything had already been packed up! so he gave me the name.
in the morning i actually went to my friends house (who deserves a whole post of her own for all of the time she spent helping me this week, including coming over here today to cook me food in the midst of my throat situation - her daughter has it too) thank God for friends. anyway, i tried that well guy and he wasn't available so i called the realtor for a name and got one. meanwhile, a house full of packers and furniture loaders were going to descend on my house - with no bathroom...
anyway, the packers/movers came around 10:30. the well guy came at 12 and in 15minutes there was running water...
everything in the house was gone by 4:30!
so now we are all caught up. and i'm back to the present - not being able to swallow very well or do much of anything.
oh, and the worst part of all was that i never sent out Ben's and Mom C's birthday cards - STILL - and couldn't call because my throat was hurting. so the cards are going to be very very late. but not as late as Brad's valentines package....
but the good new is...we have a contract!!! there is a home inspection scheduled for this week. and an appraisal should be following shortly...
good night all...
