The plumbing checked out fine today once the house was de-winterized. I cannot say enough good things about the Fox Inspection Group. Excellent service for the original inspection - and they came out and re-inspected the plumbing for us free today. Now, that's what we call customer service! They have a very happy and very satisfied customer.
The funniest thing that happened today (and there were a whole lot of unfunny things that we are just not going to talk about!) was that we learned that the $240 repair to the irrigation system that the seller had to make due to freeze damage was COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE. It turns out that the backflow preventer which froze and blew its top and ruptured the two brass valves near it could have (SHOULD have) been drained. The morons who winterized the house apparently didn't know what they were looking at, and did not drain the system. (But, now we know how to drain it ourselves. Yea!)
We are set to close at 10am across town. We'll go to the bank in the morning, get a cashier's check for closing costs, then head to closing. Hopefully, we'll have keys by the afternoon.
Keep thinking good thoughts. We're almost through with insanity that we have no control over - underwriters, title agents, out-of-state sellers who are businesses rather than individuals, etc. Then in a few weeks (yes, I need some time off), we'll start in on the remodel insanity again, talking to architects...
