Great to hear H has said those things to you. I know he means them.
You know that you controol that wall. When you are ready it will come down. I'm sure that H's words chipped away at it.
As for checking out ISMH.com, maybe he's as anxious as you for it to sell. Get rid of the monkey on his back. Also, could be admiring his landscaping! (I checked it out also and the landscaping is awesome!) I know it was shallow but I was curious.
Hope it's a good day. I just came back from the mall. Waiting for it to be sunny and dry up the moiature so I can mow the lawn.
Enjoy the day. Give me a call if you can to say hello.
