Well part one of many more on the financial front...
Heard back from the inspector a few minutes ago. There a couple of floor joists that need a second opinion (a structural engineer for about $200) but most of the items he noted are cosmetic in nature. The inspector was really impressed with the painting crew out there who are also doing some exterior repairs - so I felt good about the validation to go with them.
Next step is another pow-wow with W and the real estate agent to get an action plan together. It needs to happen by the end of next week since W is going out of town with the kids the following week. And I am out of state the following weekend so we'll see where all of this goes...
