:(

UGH it still doesn't seem real. Still hasn't sunk in. I tried not to get my hopes up and had thought I did a pretty good job. Guess not. I am super sad and upset. I would've posted as soon as I got back from having dinner with Paul, but in all honesty I was hoping for a call saying it was a joke. The kids and I didn't stay long. It was like neither of us (Paul or I) could really muster the energy to pretend everything was ok. Basically where we are at is the house is no longer under contract or sold. The buyers walked away. We've been here before and I really thought if it happened again I would know how to handle it. The home inspection failed with the inspector putting multiple areas of foundation damage. We could have handled and gotten past and probably salvaged our buys over anything else, but not foundation damage. It honestly feels like de ja vu considering this is exactly how it went down last time only it was speculated foundation damage due to a covered up crack in the outside brick. We had the brick work repaired and was told they honestly didn't feel it was foundation damage. That was almost two years ago when we moved here. Now here we are again, only this time the inspector feels there are multiple areas althought he didn't specify which areas. He felt the floors were uneven in quite a few spots. There were cracks in the flooring, doors wouldn't shut properly and the list seemed to go on and on. So here we are now with no buyer, our renters lease up in March, and not having a clue the extent of the foundation problems and all the way here in Az. We were just in Texas and had to fork over quite a bit of money to have trees trimmed, trees trimmed off of power lines and plumbing fixed. It's a never ending battle with this house. Foundation work is not cheap ranging anywhere from 500 to 10,000 and more in costs. I feel like this house is cursed and seriously will be the downfall of my family. As a one income household it always seems as soon as we get ahead a little we take two steps back, only this is like taking a million steps back. We are in limbo as to what to do now and have to wait to hear more from our realtor as well as figure out our next step. I have faith and I know we will be fine by God's grace, but even I must admit it's hard not to get discouraged at this point.
