FarmerJamie - A new beginning

[FarmerJamie]

I am beginning to second guess this whole house buying adventure.
It appears radon mitigation is needed. Underwriting is waiting on the appraisal (wife is worried about that coming in low messing up the out of pocket payment for the loan). With the minor things (in my opinion), the wife is completely stressed out that the financial deal will fall through.

I made the mistake of trying to knock out some quick packing wins last night, but was told no because that particular stuff was later in the sequence and timeline. (My "tasks" start Saturday. I lost the argument if knocking out what I can whenever I can.

And....she is getting sick again with something respiratory.

She also asked me last night if I decided on where to put the garden. Ugh

My house needed radon mitigation too. DH thought I was **Cr@zY** for wanting to test. He said we didn't have the type of geology for radon. But I had a gut feeling about it. Turned out I was tight. We had high radon and had a mitigation system put in.

It's the $500 here, $1000 here things she hadn't considered

Going to chat with our realtor at 6pm today. Hopefully, he can lay out the path forward

Heard of the element/gas, but not a problem with housing. Guess I need to educate myself.

Good discussion with our realtor. He agreed nothing to date should be a deal breaker for us or the underwriter. Asking for a slight price reduction to cover the radon mitigation and some other small stuff. He talked the wife off of the ledge.

I boxed up two boxes of stuff last night.

Sellers agreed to the price reduction

I had no idea. Having bought and sold many homes in my lifetime, I wonder how many were affected by Radon? All west coast tho. I see that WA state has levels of radon detected, by county and degree of impact. Yup, this house is in the moderately high area. Should I get a radon detector? I'm on a hill, which the neighbor says is rock.

YEA on the price reduction!! Every dime helps!!

Have gone through the bedroom dresser, the closet, and a mixed tote. Box of emptied hangers started, keeper box filled, two clothes donation trash bags dropped off , one trash trash bag in the garage, suit needed for events in October dropped off at the dry cleaners.

Just need to go through the night stand one last time and make a landing spot in the garage for next week's planned activities.
