So it's the invisible things that'll get you, I guess. I got home from work today and the inspector had been back to pick up his radon detector. We failed - a big fail. According to government rates, it has to be below 4 parts per something (great technical language there)...ours was 46!
I pride myself on being aware of health risks and trying to do the right things (well, except for that whole Diet Coke addiction) but radon was not even something I considered. Now it sounds like we've been breathing pretty unhealthy air for a long time. I feel kind of guilty about that.
But now we just have to turn to getting it fixed - no matter what. Poor Jim is worried about what this will do to the sale - but it's a fixable issue. He emailed the buyer but we didn't hear back. Jim requested a quote from some place in Akron and the realtor gave us a couple names too. I'll make calls tomorrow and get a fix going.
Onto happier thoughts, Jim has the other closet door done except for staining so he's making great progress. I spent a lot of time in the library packing up more books and DVDs.
