Sounds like you have this at your place, and still an issue.

Sounds good to me.  

I know this may sound like a stupid question but I really have to ask.

(This was a concession I made in order to get the closing date moved from 9/1).Does this sound reasonable and doable?  

Showing how repairs replaced the sub-floor and removed a wall will increase value - I agree with @Roger Poulin having the appraiser look at an "open kitchen area" will have no impact on value at all.

If it has to be replaced, you take it out when you have good access and there's nothing more than incremental charges.As far as powering their tools, that depends.

The exterior of the house is sound, and the only big expense I foresee to come my way in the next 7 years is replacing all of the windows in the house.

Sounds like you presented things very clearly to the credit union, also.

Hi @Lyuba Barrington this sounds like a highly motivated seller.  

"[previously asked details of the house] Wow, your house sounds amazing!
