    Building inspection

    jwhcars, I have sent the buyer everything I have concerning this. I have even done a lot of the leg work trying to find out what needs to be done. No one in Kentucky can or will tell me anything.

    Pit Pal

    Agree with TFRO.. Work great in the trailer as they are made for holding stuff while going down the road.. But I would think it would be less expensive and have better use to either build something or buy garage specific storage items.. JMHO Dave

    Building inspection

    bry@n, No lawyer..Only the buyer, his realtor, myself/wife, and my realtor plus the lawyer from BOA who processed the paperwork. I think they only represent the financial end of it not either the seller or buyer. I have talked to my realtor here in Texas that I used to buy our new home. She...
