So it’s been almost a month since closing and the place still hasn’t been hooked up to ConEds gas service. The previous owner’s plumber says everything is all set, but the architect says there’s a signoff from a inspector that has to happen before anything can proceed. Called the previous owner with all this and made sure he understood what I was saying and that the repurcussions for his inaction were very, very clear. He said he needed one more week as of tomorrow to get things set up — after that, he’s fired, his crew is fired and the money in escrow will pay for the crew I have to bring in to correct his screw up.<\/p>\n

Yeah.. so the basement retains water like a creatine junky (at least in the back corner of the house). Three+ hours of rain amounted to a puddle in my basement roughly a quarter inch deep and ~5 feet in diameter. <\/p>\n
