I heard from my buyer's agent Bob today and things are still going smoothly. They are treating and retesting the well to clear up the bacteria problem. The air conditioner will be serviced this week. The only other thing we asked them to fix was the radon issue. The level was 4.3 which is only .3 above the tolerance. We asked the seller to install a system to reduce the level. They had a previous test which was below the tolerance. They got another quote for the system installation. So we'll see what happens with that. Sean and I weren't that concerned about that so if won't install it, it won't be a deal breaker. So all it all things are looking good to close at the end of July.
One other interesting note.....The large 6.6 acre property behind us is owned by the chief of police! I guess we won't be having any wild and crazy parties! We can't actually see his house from our yard......so maybe only quiet wild parties.

Kate,
Radon is a serious issue. it is persistent and toxic and the only way you can get rid of it is to vent it out. Please don't treat this lightly. if the current home owners don't install the proper ventilation you will need to do it. And test and retest often.
here is a couple links for more research.

you also might need to test your well since radon can occur in water too.
love ya sis!
I had no clue Radon was bad stuff, but I did find this web site that has some info on cancer related to different levels of Radon. http://www.dspinspections.com/radon_facts.htm
Keep up the good work.
