Don't laugh, it really isn't funny. Well kinda, but not really.
Today was the inspection for the roof.
They also had to inspect the whole house, so I spent all of yesterday completely cleaning and and making everything perfect.
The Man showed up a hour late.
But I didn't say a word, just smiled and acted warm and friendly.
He saw the roof and said that I did indeed need a new roof.
The he came around the other side of the house and saw the apartment.
That was going to be a problem, as they only help one family homes. But he said we might be able to work around that, as my tenant will be moving out soon as he lost his job, and S23 will be moving in to study for the LSAT.
The we went through the rest of the house, and he told me that he had run a Historical fact thingy on my house and that there were some things that they were unable to do as it would affect the integrity fo the home.
Now heres the bad part...........
As we started to go up the stairs, he knocked over a Yankee candle that was burning.
Wax went everywhere........
And all over him.....Blech!
He said I ruined his $50 shirt.
He is a large man.
Things went downhill from there.
He wasn't happy anymore.
He didn't say a word about the wax all over my wall and wood floors.
I apologized profusely, even though he was the one who knocked it over.
He made some comments about the windows, as some of them are old.
He saw the basement, which has a sump pump and alot of dampness.
He told me that there were alot of things that needed to be worked out and then he left.
So, who knows what will happen now.
I think I may send him a check for $50 to cover the cost of his shirt. I don't want it considered a bribe but if it will put him in a good mood, it is an investment.
OY.......
Why the heck do these things always happen to me!!!!!!!
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
