the starting block on that road

I should have mentioned that what started the long and winding road yesterday was a call from our attorney. This is an approximation of our conversation:

She: "They found a tank on your property and you didn't disclose that there was a tank."

Me: "Uh, I talked with the buyers about it and even told them that it was insured, and who the oil company was. They were certainly informed. I don't have a copy of the disclosure in front of me, but I remember there was an entire section in it about fuel oil tanks."

She: "Well, they're telling me that you didn't disclose there was a tank."

Me: "It's clearly stated in the MLS listing, for heaven's sake!"

Then nothing for the rest of the day. I finally had to call our real estate agent, and after that, the buyers to find out what was happening. Which is what prompted my outburst about lawyers on the comments board of my favorite radio station, which I subsequently deleted.

And on that note, I'm off to the post office with two very large checks to our fine state and Federal government taxing agencies. You all have a nice day, now, y'heah?
