So we actually did make a valiant effort to burn the rat - house down before the new closing date . And by " valiant effort , " I mean that we flipped the breakers back on out of curiosity after the a / c and lights conked out half - way through our measurement - taking for baseboards and paint estimates . Enter sparks , flames , and a realtor whose vocabulary was pretty much reduced to " Really ? "

Question: What will be done in the house after we come back to it ?
Answer: None of the above choices .We will flip the breakers again to fix the problem .We will watch flames and sparks fly everywhere .We will need to clean up the damage done to the house .
