Day 12: Still waiting

(Friday) My refusal to pay for the roof repair didn’t seem quite so risky knowing the sellers had found a new home. Who wants two mortgage payments? Well, it seems my little plan may have backfired.

Turns out their new house “fell through.”

Needless to say, a number of profanities zipped through my mind as my realtor broke the news.

Fortunately, this doesn’t mean the deal is off, he said reassuringly. They requested until Monday to make up their minds on the roof. That helped, though I was still worried lack of a house would mean they’d settle for staying in Alger Heights.

My doubts lingered throughout the afternoon. Later, my mortgage guy assured me, too, that I shouldn’t worry. So I resumed enjoying my best friend’s weekend visit. Thanks to the three of them, I have a glimmer of hope for next week. Thanks, Ess, Dan and Jon. 🙂
