March 21, 2008: Appraiser at the farm

So I got word today that the appraiser was up at the farm.  He was there to let the bank know how much the house was worth.  Now keep in mind that we have never been interested in the house.  It isn’t worth anything to us.  So we have been hoping that lightning would strike it or perhaps some high winds would huff and puff and blow the house down.  That never happened.

So while I was taking photographs of the flood two days ago, I decided to check on the house.  Well guess what – it flooded.  The finished basement was full of water.  Several inches deep.  I smiled, knowing that this was good news.  It would help get the amount being asked for the property lower.  We already have a low offer on the place.  This will only help us.

Now we are waiting for word.  It will take a few days (and it is the holiday weekend) to find out how much the appraiser thinks the property is worth.  I am certain that it is worth a lot less today than it was a week ago. 

We are one day closer…
