One More Hurdle Cleared (for the most part)

I left my house in NY this morning at 5:00 and arrived in Woodstock, VA at 11:00. The trip usually takes 7 hours so I made good time. Usually NJ has the cheapest gas. Today it was $3.09 per gallon. When I got to Edinburg, VA the gas was only $2.79. That was incredibly cheap compared to $3.40 per gallon in NY.

The "home inspector" checked out the building and didn't find any structural issues. He pointed out electrical and plumbing problems that I had already found when Archie, Judy and I looked at the place a couple of weeks ago. The inspector wasn't able to check the heating system today because there was a gas leak in the propane line. The current owner called in the gas dealer to correct the problem, they it wasn't fixed before the inspection was over. We had to list that as an open issue. The only other issue was that one of the hot water heaters wasn't working. That was listed as the only other open issue.

I hope to leave early tomorrow morning so I can get home by noon. I hate spending time away from Judy. Can't wait to get back home.
