Savvycat, I'm glad you fixed the leak under the sink.
Wasvilla, congratulations on the house sale!
Ron Van, I'm glad you were able to get a good deal on your house.
Eddie, I don't think I've ever had black walnuts.
Spicoli, you're right about some places being good for selling and others not. Houses in my area were selling dirt cheap. My late friend's property- which was 4 lots with two houses, a workshop, greenhouse, garden, etc sold for less than $25k. A house down the street sold for $3k. My friend's ex bought a house on his street for $11k more recently. That was after prices went up more. Granted, the house needs a lot of work and they had to clear out the former tenant's massive porn collection and the place needs to be re-wired.
We sold our house in California back in the 80s. Or, I suppose I should say, we had a real estate sell it and somehow they skipped the part of getting my parents' permission on the final sale price. To this day my mother gripes that the agent sold the house for waaaay less than my parents said they would sell the house for-- less than they had paid for it. We moved and when we arrived here we were told the house had sold but they had not been asked to sign off on it and the deal was done. I don't know if that was legal or not.
Meanwhile, we are still sitting in the heat. Can't get the fan on the outside unit to keep turning so the compressor won't stay on. Not sure if the fan is bad or if its an electrical problem.
