The prospective purchasers of our house scheduled an inspection for 8:00am this morning. So I took up residence at the local Starbucks for 3 hours where my iPhone was put to good use (free WIFI just seems to be something that everyone should offer now, and I get very ticked when hotels continue to charge a fee for something that I consider as essential in a guest room as a bed).
It is slightly strange to know that a complete stranger is tramping through your home, inspecting it for faults. And then I thought that it is not much different than when a AAA of Forbes inspector comes to one of our hotels. At least nobody was assessing us for service during the house call.
Anyway, the house passed with flying colors. We know we have to get it painted (we had that planned before my current "situation" presented itself) and there is a little bit of wood and flashing that needs to be replaced, but otherwise it is in good shape. A five star house - phew!
