Floor problems

Today would have my home closing day, but I was right with gut feeling and the buyer walked. I think I was more mad that the process took SOOOOOO long (a month!), and had she done the inspection right away, the bad news wouldn't have come so close to the closing date. However, it is what it is!

After that news, we scrambled to see what our next step would be. Yes, we would have to fix the floor... but how much and when could it be done? Luckily over the weekend we were able to find a construction company that knows my BFs family and was in between jobs. They were also happy to have a job inside to avoid the heat (hello heat index of 105!). After doing an assessment, and advising on the cost - which wasn't as bad as what we thought it could be - the work was setup!They were able to start Wednesday (yesterday) and should be finished sometime tonight. We can't lay the carpet down for a week, but that gives us time to find someone to re-tack it all in, and also work on replacing the vinyl that was in my entryway. Silver lining? Yes and no, ha.

I feel like I'm in one of those DIY shows, mainly supervising. The place was all dug up at the end of their day yesterday,  but it will be nice to see the finished product sometime this weekend. I'll have to post some before and after pics.

I'm glad we were able to get it corrected so fast, as then I can get it listed back on the market faster. We had been called back by a few construction companies in town, but they wouldn't even be able to check my place out for a price quote until the end of September. I know they're busy with summer projects, but wow! Thankfully this all worked out.

Also, my realtor contacted the buyers realtor and advised that the floor was being fixed, so if the buyer was still interested they could certainly start up a new contract. So far, we haven't heard anything. Maybe it's just me, but if that was the only thing keeping you from buying this place and now that problem has been fixed (at a way cheaper price than what you had thought it would be)... it would almost be a no brainer to want to purchase it again. If not, hopefully someone else will.
