Our initial offer was presented in October so this was a long and at times exhausting process.

Bedrooms each have only 1 outlet, using extension cords, should add at least one outlet per BR. exhaust from furnace leaking into basement.

When you replaced the hot water heater, did you opt for a high-efficiency heater with external ventilation and exhaust?  

Your only real tool to a breach is to force liquidation after exhausting mitigation attempts. 

This is not an exhaustive list, there's a lot more.

There is a an exemption available where you (and only you) as the disqualified party can loan monies to your IRA to protect your investment, but this exemption can only be activated after all the other options have been exhausted and you have to document all the options that were attempted and why and how they were exhausted.

This closing was exhausting .

Small amount of asbestos needs to be removed from basement, hot water tanks needs to be exhausted properly.  

The entire process was very exhausting but well worth the headache in the end.

When he called you flipping out, you instead should have sternly defended the fact he failed to execute and you have proof, that you exhausted efforts to reach him.
