Hope contractor is willing to chip in and help because hard to prove they left open.

Is this clear now or is there an angle they can chip at? 

I am looking to have a big oak tree planted in the front.

Once I close next week, i plan on getting oaks professionally trimmed up, new drive way poured, and landscape done.

They’ve suggested they would be willing to chip in some.

You could be chipping away at that requirement, too, during this time.

Basically, they hate carpet and a lot of people don't like tile and linoleum can chip and not be a color that people like, etc.  

What you got is 70's oak.

Undoubtably in my mind, the goon't will have to make some tough decision, unpopular ones such as bailing out the airlines and other leisure conglomerates such as Hilton Global - reminiscence of the '08/'09 bailout of Wall Street, though different to some extent as the airline / hotel type of "blue chip" stocks are majority owned by Fidelity and Blackrocks of the world, which in turn is own by major pension funds, and guess who's the largest holders or contributors of pensions funds, your everyday teachers, fire fighters, police officers and etc., so I would imagine the govern't won't have much of choice...
