Yesterday I gave up and pulled the For Sale sign out of the ground of my listing in Kings Park West. Fortunately the sign that replaced it said SOLD! Actually once an offer came in on the property the transaction went fairly smoothly. They way we like them to go.

Instead of trying to figure out who might be right the settlement company made a call to county building department and found out that the electrician was correct. Had they not been willing to make that call the sellers might ...
