Hmmm...I don't knwo what to tell ya about the house then. My first inclination was to email him and let him know that your were going to give the realtor the go ahead to sell PK "as is" since he has not replied to any of your e-mails regarding the house and you are taking that to mean you should do what you feel is right. You have no money to affect any of the repairs necessary to get full asking price so you have been advised this is your only other option.

THe thing is...D will probably take an e-mail like that as being either pursuing or pissy that he hasn't answered any of yours. That you are just using the house as an excuse to have SOME form of contact with him since it has been so long and you MUST be jonesing Doesn't matter that he would be WRONG in thinking so...it is just your usual pattern as far as he is concerned.

I think you should have the REALTOR contact him and ask what is going on or perhaps your lawyer (since the sell of the house is court-ordered). You DON'T have to see him or speak to him directly to get this handled. If he doesn't like the check he gets at the end of the deal then oh well...it is HIS problem for not wanting to deal with it.

I think a puppy would be great...but are YOU ready for another dog to add to the mix?? That is what we keep asking ourselves even though we want to get another one desperately (NO MORE TERRIERS!).
