Our trip to Cancun went well, and we had a great time. Like most all-inclusive places, the food was generally mediocre, but the resort was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was excellent, particularly the poolside service staff.
Things took a turn for the worse when we got home, however. We had our house inspection on Thursday afternoon, and the inspector started filling the jacuzzi tub in our master bathroom, which we have never used in the 20 years we've owned the house. The tub immediately began leaking into our kitchen, ruining about half of our kitchen ceiling.
The next day, we had a meeting with our HOA, which is required before selling, and we were told they want us to completely replace our concrete driveway before the sale because it has cracks in various places. The total cost will be about $25,000.
Our initial buyer backed out of the transaction after all of this. Our back-up buyers are fine with the status and steps we're discussing, so the house is still under contract.
We finally got a plumber out this morning and found out that the tub was apparently never installed correctly, so it would never have worked / always have leaked. We're going back to our new buyers now with an offer to replace it with a soaking tub. If they have their heart set on a jacuzzi tub, we'll provide them with a credit so they can buy a new one and have it installed themselves. We expect the drywall repair to be completed by the end of this week, at which point the new buyers can have their inspector come out.
On the World of Warcraft front, between vacation and this nonsense, I'm still not at max level. I just finished Zul'Aman, which I enjoyed a lot. One of the better zones in a long time from my perspective. Now I'm babysitting Arator as he runs around doing paladin things. As an undead warlock, I apparently provide a lot of comfort to him. Go figure.
I'm at level 87 now. The scaling so far has been slow; it took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to go from 86 to 87, but we'll see how it all comes out in the end.
That's the update for now.
Cheers,
Joar
Homeownership is always one adventure after another. And not the fun kind of adventure as you'd find in an out of the way sidequest.
