Like I said - IT TAKES some time, but these lawyers are on the ball! Branca & Co. have managed to turn a huge negative into the black within such a short time period! No matter what your personal feelings, they've been paying off debts, and taking out the trash!
Mrs. Jackson decided not to sell, & had already pulled the petition. I do believe it was all, ahem, to get some stragglers out who refused to leave. Ergo, why not just move out for a year or two, get all the termite damage fixed, and get some much needed remodeling? Plumbing in Earthquake Country is always messed up, btw. Plus, large trees always growing their feeder roots into the main sewer drains *sigh* Always gotta get a root cutter once a year for that kind of thing.
