Do you want the cost of the house reduced because the house resale value could be jeapordized by this problem? 3. Do you want some really nice landscaping done to the back or your lanai to reduce the "green box eyesore" and safety concern? I certainly hope you can collaborate your way into something that would appease you. Maybe it is a combination of reduced price and landscaping. I believe TV will do something to appease you. DO NOT sign the papers at closing until you are appeased. You may need to lawyer up on this but I think that is a last resort and is some money that can be saved right now. Is there something in the house that you wanted but didn't request? Maybe you can trade this problem for some new quartz or granite countertops. Do you want some new hardwood flooring? Don't sign the dotted lines until you are truly satisfied. At the walk through you need to use the simple term that this is not acceptable. Have your plat of survey with you and just tell them that this is not accep  table. |
Oren. I don't think a mistake has been made. When you get here you will be able to see that it looks right. I think the box is in the right location. All of the homes are set back on their lots on that street and the back yards aren't big. It is what it is.
Angie just sent me the plat map and it does look like they all should be on the lots behind Penguins and his neighbors. That would be the public utility's responsibility wouldn't it? Seems like some digging and moving is in order.
I have made the album Penguins castle public in All albums above. Poor Penguin, he isn't here. I can only imagine how nervous he is. I feel so bad for his worrying and I am trying to think what we can do to help him resolve this. We could forward this whole thread to Janet Tutt...
