Phew - I just finished reading *every* post in this blog!
We're first-timers on the market in Alameda and can't even begin to tell you how helpful your writings have been. Some of this stuff took real courage to post (says the anonymous commenter)!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My back is good so I would be happy to lend some muscle (and probably no skill) to your efforts if we have the good fortune of ending up as neighbors!
Hint: the lady recently emailed you regarding a foundation nearby.
Happy Halloween prep!

Hi D,
When I saw that it went pending I wondered if you had pulled the trigger.
Good luck, and I hope your Realtor is actually working for you.
If you haven't already waived youe inspection contingencies I know someone nearby who would do it.
Ah...wasn't us. Someone even crazier!
Nothing active at the moment.

Brian,
There is a link to email me from my profile page.
