When we sold our house the second time, the "buyers" hired an inspector and found problems with our deck. We just had it rebuilt by a couple of fellows, Mickey and Craig, who our realtor told us about. They were not her regular handymen. The deck they constructed looked fine, but we found out it was not up to code. They left some rotting wood and spaced the boards too close together. We asked them to repair it and bring it up to code. They started to, but got about half way before we went to Arizona. Even after repeated phone calls, the lead fellow, Mickey, did not come to finish. His phone was disconnected, so I was about to give up. I found his partner, Craig's, phone number and gave him a call. He immediately said he'd come over to finish. Craig has been hard at work fixing up the deck. Apparently there were several things to change, so it is a fairly big job. The end is in sight now. Craig appears to be doing things up to code and said that he feels bad about the way Mickey left things. They are no longer partnering.
We have had three potential buyers look at our home over two days, which is pretty good. Two of them spent time looking at details, which is a good sign. One of them didn't even want to come down our driveway to look, but the realtor must have convinced them to anyway. Our realtor is having an open house on Sunday. At least there is some interest in our house.
