Radon

Radon Testing was done at the new house last week and on Monday we got te results from that test. It was high. I guess safe levels are 4 and below, the results from ours was a 6, so not terribly higher but high enough to be concerned. In order to get it lowered you need to have a fan installed. (I really know nothing about this whole fan thing realy). The fan tends to take levels down to 2 or lower, definately safe anyway! But the fan costs a nice chunk of money to install. So we wanted the bank (owners of the house) to pay for it, but the problem with that was the house was listed "as is", so we weren't sure what would happen, but didn't have high hopes of them covering the cost. We've been waiting ALL week for answers and today we finally heard... they ARE going to cover it! How great is that??? Were happy anyway!

So you want to see pictures... I hesitate to show you, b/c it is TERRIBLY UGLY! But keep in mind that it will all be redone and nice at some point!



Yeah... so that's all you get, what do you think of the charlie brown mural? Think we should keep it???? Tempting as it is I don't think it goes with the whole decor (don't tell anyone we don't really know what the "decor" will be yet though!)

Great news that the bank is covering the fan! I like the charlie brown motif, but yeah - if it doesn't go it doesn't go!

That is good news! And your house is NOT terribly ugly- I still am going to try and persuade you to keep the brick wall.

Yes this house is very ugly---it has tons of potential and I am positive that you and Matt will pull through with lots of great ideas.......I pray that it all goes very smoothly for you and that you are in the house in record time.....:)

Looks like a project to me! Can't wait to see progress. Contrats on the house though. Not so much on the charlie brown!
