Tom Raymond Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 It got knocked loose when the window was placed. It was dirty so the mortar didn't stick to it. A teenager ran into it with the lawn tractor. Pick one. If it's just the one half block it doesn't really matter how it got displaced, it's a pretty simple fix.

waynesoper Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 and if you leave it out of the report, the broker will be the first one to point the buyer in your direction to have it fixed after they move in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Come to think of it, the window was new. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
