this afternoon, we had a home inspection on the house we'd bought, only to find it has asbestos in the attic. after talking with the home inspector, he said he would not buy that house in it's current condition, but if it was fixed it would be ok, we decided to ask them to remove the asbestos and install new insulation. seems reasonable, right? but the home owner seems incredibly stubborn and foolish, and is only willing to pay for 1 single test (we were told that even 3 tests couldn't guarantee that it was asbestos free), and even so that insulation needs to be removed because it's not up to code. so it looks like we're back on the house market. what a dummy. no one is going to buy that house. the danger and risk is too serious.
it's sucky because we really liked that house and the timing seemed good for renting this place out in september. a friend had connected me with a new faculty member at queen's who was looking to rent. so that will fall through too. BUT there's always another house. we'll just have to wait.

awwww....that's pretty disappointing and dealing with stubborn sellers extra so. I almost bought another house in 2013 but the deal fell through after some pretty serious issues were found on the home inspection.
