[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3968932, member: 45773"] I've been trying to sell my house in Olustee for 6 or 7 months. Finally goes under contract last week. Yay! Day after it goes under contract I get a call from the town maintenance guy..."You've got a bad water leak under your house somewhere. Your front yard is flooded...22,000 gals according to the meter. I shut the water off." Well damn... Can't find a plumber that wants to work. Double damn... Real estate agent calls in a favor with her plumber and he comes out to inspect the broken line situation. Yay! Line is broken in several spots. Can't access it to give a good estimate until it dries out. Triple damn... I drive over there to inspect the damage inside the house. There is none. All the water went underneath. Yay! Buyer has inspection scheduled for this coming Friday. Oh, hell no... I'm hoping the bulk of the damage and plumbing costs are covered by insurance. The realtor and I decided this could actually be a good thing for the buyer...getting all new plumbing underneath and new insulation to boot. We'll see. I hate those periods of life where it's one crisis after another. I try to keep it in perspective...we're both relatively healthy and have a good life all things considered. These types of problems aren't insurmountable, they're mostly just an inconvenience. I try to remember that I'm very blessed and some folks have much bigger issues that are impacting their lives far more than bad plumbing impacts mine. Even with the "bad" stuff we're quite fortunate. I just need to be thankful for all the good in my life. [/QUOTE]
