wait, what happened with the roof?
The roof was finally fixed in spite of them yelling about the cost. If they wanted to sell, it had to be fixed and it wasn’t our fault it was slate, it was their dad’s doing. It made sense in 1937. But at today’s cost, esp the copper flashing, it probably would have been cheaper to completely replace it. They spent well over 10k to replace 7 tiles, already on the property and reflash. That’s a huge chunk of change for such a small amount of materials.
We talked to the home warranty people, case was opened but because they haven’t yet received payment, nothing much else can be done. In the meantime, we will rent one and return it when that is decided. So off we go to Aaron’s (we’ve used them before decades ago). And yes, I know it’s not ideal but it will get us going til we get things resolved. In the meantime our new chest freezer in the basement is working wonderfully. I stuck an ice pack in there and in less than 2 hours it was frozen. So my now cooked crockpot chicken got deboned, deskined, and then into a freezer bag to freeze for future use.
Today, we have to go down to the rig, empty the basement bay, get the stuff out of the outdoor kitchen we used as storage, vacuum, then winterize, pulling the slides in. We head to Goshen on Sunday as it’s due in at Affinity RV Repair on Mon morning. We will just stay in hotels this trip and only the dogs are going. We’ve arranged for a cat sitter.
I need a months vacation from moving! I’m just glad the rest of our stuff is being handle by a moving company. All I have to do is decide where it goes and then unpack boxes. And since closing was delayed several times, that got delayed and I haven’t even scheduled it.
The cool thing about this house is the built ins…there are dressers in two closets. And as soon as get them lined, we can unpack clothes.
