Hazards

We are moving forward with some of our concerns with the home conditions. I faxed a list of questions this morning to our broker for the sellers to answer. I also faxed some conditions we want addressed before the closing to the attorney. We get attorney services through a benefit we subscribed to from Beth Israel. I called an attorney in Wakefield yesterday who is part of the service. He is a graduate of BU's School of Law and passed the bar in 1960. Seemed like a genial fellow - not at all curmudgeon-ly.


We also decided we wanted to have the ceiling tile in the basement tested for asbestos. Joni called our broker this morning to see if we could make arrangements for testing. The ceiling tiles are those inter-locking 12x12 acoustic tiles that I think are stapled to the joists. Our P&S is supposed to be completed and signed Sunday - we will probably need an extension. We did not get our copy of the draft until Wednesday evening so we have not had much time to read it over and work with it.

Both of us are working again today so Henry is with Jim and Ellie. Their van is still in the shop so hopefully they will be able to put the car seat in Steven & Kim's vehicle and go over to their house instead of hanging around Melrose for 2 days. Nice day to take a dip in the pool, too.

This weekend we will try to get the condo cleaned up for sale. I hope we can get it done and sign the listing agreement Sunday.

Update at 4:40 PM - I spoke to the attorney and !surprise! he has other issues with the purchase and sale agreement. He should have it ready on Monday. We are getting an extension on the P&S until Wednesday.
