And no, this REDICULOUSNESS that ALL banks would be whiped out is complete HOG-WASH.

The old clay tile sewer line from 1900 had fallen apart and caused backups in the shower every time I did the laundry. 

(for example, sunken dining room and steps going down to the 2nd bathroom and laundry room)  After a ton of showings the feedback we're getting is that the layout is an issue.

Washing the walls, cleaning any soft surfaces, some people suggest an ozone machine, painting, etc.

I kept the place immaculate and it didn't matter, she had to point out an inch long piece of dust behind the laundry room door. 

Well I could do my own taxes, clean my house, change my  oil and wash my own car but my time is more valuable to me than that.
