An Email to Joe on August 11, 2015

Hey,

  

 I jogged over to the condo around 2pm this afternoon and talked to Ernie while he was painting. He said that you were over around 11am to do a 'walk thru'. Did you make it down to the basement to see the leak? That might cause a real problem because I don't think that we can convince anyone that the leak will 'go away' once they hook up their washer and dryer. However, maybe someone can make those 'caps' hold back the tide. That leak has to have been my blackest moment since I closed on the house.

I really wish that I had just left the old appliances in the condo, and I know I wouldn't have gotten the full value back, but at least I wouldn't be paying for plumbing issues that are going to be like throwing money out the window. I could have left the old stuff in place, and then upgraded. And, I'm sure that you read the email that I sent to Janny about the issues that I have with the shutoff valve in my unit and the problems with our building shutoff in unit #33.

 If you feel that the carpet in the upstairs bedrooms, hallway, and staircase are salvageable, I think I will schedule Stanley Steemer to do the job. There's no way that I could do an adequate job, and it would only be about $150, and I think that the professionals would make it look as good as can be expected.  

I won't have phone service until early afternoon on Thursday, but shoot me an email as to what you think about where we are about putting #43 on the market. 

And, I would like to just paint over the 'anchor damage' caused by the hanging cassette cases in the downstairs at the condo. I spoke to Ernie about it, but I think he wants to put too much effort and time into it (MONEY!!). I just want to gloss it over because most people don't relate to the '70's popcorn/stucco' anyway, but I think that Ernie will do a great job on the living room/kitchen areas.

Ernie might not be up to Lloyd's standards of meticulousness, but he's certainly in the ballpark..

Send me a note because I won't have phone service until Thursday, and  I'd like to contract the job with Stanley Steemer if you feel that this is the way to go.
