Update on my home sale:
I met with the structural engineer today. He said three beams need sistering, not six, and that it'll cost under $1000. The other structural issue is, in his opinion, a non-issue; there's evidence of some old water damage that was corrected ages ago, but there's no problem now.
I am greatly relieved. Now, will my buyers feel satisfied with the engineer's report or will they believe the people they brought in, neither of whom is a structural engineer? I know who I believe! All this fuss because their home inspector was out to lunch.
