Sep. 19, 2007 - A home-buying problem
We are in the middle of buying a house out in the country. Not way out, just a few miles out of town. It is only 1 acre but that's good enough for me.
The seller's realtor had been dragging his feet on getting the well inspected. The inspection was finally done and there is a problem. The well needs some repair. The water is fine but some pump wiring and the bladder (yep, wells have bladders) needs replacing. So the sellers have to pay to have these things fixed. Our escrow cannot close until it does because our lenders will not fund our loan until the repairs are done.
The sellers have already moved out and it bugs me to know our future home is empty and we can't start moving in yet! Oh well, we must be patient.
I am a "budding herbalist" (at least that is what my hubby calls me
). So I will leave a tip.
Lemon Tea - is good for sore and scratchy throats. Just squeeze the juice out of a half of a lemon (watch out for seeds!) into a mug. Add a good squirt of honey (raw is best) then fill the rest with hot water. It really works. You can drink as many cups as you want to. Like many remedies, you may have to repeat. That's OK, the vitamin C boost will do you good!
Be well~
