It may be different in Utah.Ann, thank you, I could have sworn I said check with your state law, but obviously the thought didn't get to my fingers.

When I went to the house, there was so much water in the wall that when I poked my finger through the drywall, water shot out about five feet.

Fingers crossed hopefully all goes well. ; )

(Meaning: finger across the neck, it's out of there!)

My fingers get cramped just thinking about it ... let's see 19,000 Bill posts let's see at an average of 1500 words per post .... not quite War and Peace (yet) but getting there. 

Fat fingers.

Fingers crossed. 

If all goes well, I hope to purchase in Los Angeles on my 3rd or 4th deal (fingers crossed… again & again).

@Jackie Lange Thank you so much for the rundown on the foundation issue and to @Joseph Weisenbloom for the reality check.I didn't do a good job of communicating that as I'm abroad for the time being, I'm just using the data at my finger tips to do simulations and practice the math.

In my opinion if you have mold below grade it often requires a lot of water remediation, gutting of all material and then still crossing your fingers.
