of course.  Murphy's law, right?

I saw some water seepage in my basement tonight, so I went to check it out outside (I have a diverter on the end of a down spout so the area right near the house doesn't get saturated...that's what causes the seeping).  The diverter is on fine.   I look up, and the gutter is hanging a good foot from where it's supposed to be attached.  Great, just GREAT.  Of course, I find this out at 10:30 at night, so it's not like there's anything I can do about it.  I have an email out to my brother to see if he can swing by and help me out.  This is so not helping my anxiety.

Having just put my townhouse on the market, I completely sympathize with you on this!  Every time I turned around I discovered something else that had to be fixed/upgraded/changed/etc.

The day we had the inspection on our house, after it went under contract, the kitchen sink drain broke and flooded the cupboard.  Hubby was OOT, I didn't know how to fix it and only had 1 hour, so I stuck a bucket under it with a note saying we know it's broken, but I didn't know how to fix it.

 They bought the house anyways.

I heard on the radio its good to get your house inspected before you sell so you already know all the problems before you even try to sell it.

Just be sure to properly disclose things.  Fixing a loose gutter is a pretty minor annoyance compared to some of the things that can go wrong.
