CHAPTER 4
The next few days passed without incident. Bryan and Bonnie were excited about their new home. They were planning the furniture layout for the game room, showing their friends and family pictures of the place, and were anticipating the closing date.
They then received a call from Courtney, their realtor. Dr. Krueger was at it again. The Elm Street home needed a new survey because the old survey did not include the recently added outdoor kitchen. The contract stated that the seller would be responsible for paying for the new survey if one was needed. The survey is very important because the lending company, Slow Loans, will not finance the house without it.
(At this point, Dr. Krueger and her realtor, Denise, were not on good terms again. Apparently Dr. Krueger had screamed at Denise because she felt that Denise wasn't doing her job. She thought that Denise didn't fight hard enough in the negotiation process, and that it was her fault that she, Dr. Krueger, wasn't getting full price for the house.)
In addition, Dr. Krueger was furious that her old survey didn't suffice. If she did have to have a new survey then she wanted her old surveyor friend to come out and "write-in" the outdoor kitchen. It doesn't work that way. The survey has to be completed by a non-biased third party company, and be ordered by the title company.
Because of the poor relationship between Dr. Krueger and Denise, Denise didn't tell Dr. Krueger about the scheduling of the survey. Denise approved the surveyor to arrive at the Elm Street house at 9 am Monday morning. Dr. Krueger would be at work and wouldn't be able to object. Well, for whatever reason, Dr. Krueger was not at work that morning! She saw the surveyor in the yard, opened the door, and started screaming (this is all according to a neighbor witness). She told him that if he didn't leave that instant she would sic her dog on him and shoot him! (Remember that locked room upstairs that initially wasn't viewable? It turns out it was locked because it was a whole room full of guns.)
What were Bryan and Bonnie going to do? This lady was nuts! They loved the house, but without the survey there was no loan. Without the loan there was no house. Why wouldn't she allow a new survey? It was her responsibility to cover the cost of it, but it wasn't a huge expense. The couple was getting very tired of this lady's shenanigans: the rudeness, the ludicrous accusations, and now this. Bonnie had visions of going over to the lady's house and punching her in the face, but crazy ladies and guns don't mix.
