REST DAY

 

After yesterday's big effort, I'm having a day of rest.

NOT that I really want to do nothing, but I can't paint today.

The weather is supposed to be wet.

I will go out and get a few supplies for Friday, when Stew will be home.  He will be doing more of the painting, in places Lacy and I can't get to.

We also want to spray lichen/moss remover on a couple of areas of the roof.  Another of those 'issues' highlighted as unacceptable by the ex-buyers!  😠😡

And that is about all I have for now... let's see how the day pans out.

Clarifying :  None of the 'issues' raised in the building report condemned this house.  They were all minor issues relating to the age of the house, and all are easily rectified.

The builder who did the report kept saying that most of the 'issues' or POTENTIAL FUTURE issues were of a maintenance type... like painting, removing lichen, cleaning guttering and so on.  All things you can totally expect with an almost 30 year old home!

But the ex-buyer decided it was FAR TOO MUCH WORK for her to be bothered/worried about.  

And she had a 'Solicitors' clause in the contract, meaning her solicitor could cancel the contract on her behalf, for ANY FUCKING REASON they so chose.  Which is what they did, using the Builders Report as the excuse.

I am now going to put this to rest.  I am so tired of fuming over this.
