A busy day!
As you know, I got my keys at lunch time. I ran over to the house real quick and found that the smoke alarms had not been installed. According to my inspector, the seller has to install smoke alarms in each room before closing. The seller had agreed to install them. Now they are saying that it's not required by law if the house was built before 1992. So, my realtor is going to call the fire department tomorrow and ask. On my paperwork for the request for repairs, the seller had agreed to get it up to code; so I really hope they follow through on this. There is one smoke alarm in a house that is 2050 square feet. My daughter and I spent the last 3 hours cleaning windows, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, etc. There are about 6 windows that are painted shut, so I'll try and tackle those tomorrow. Also, I want to get the windows spray washed from the outside. I am tired, but very very happy that this day finally came. I hope my dad knows how grateful I am. If it weren't for him...
Those old doors are the best! I wish I knew what fool took the original doors out of my old house. I would beat them with a stick.
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few of them painted in this house, but mainly just the outside, not inside. I will need to remove a lot of the hardware to get the paint off. I hate it when people paint the hardware.
