Remove anything valuable that can be pocketed, then let them tour your house unaccompanied. I have to disagree with graywings on this one. DO NOT let them wander around your house unaccompanied. This is one of the pitfalls of selling FSBO, you dont have the option of not being there yet having someone there for you. Realtors in my area are really thinking twice about open houses these days. During a busy open house, someone literally stuck a lap top computer in their bag and walked out. It wasnt noticed until much later. You can't put everything away and some people will steal anything! I would accompany them again if there is a second visit, but stay back and don't say anything unless they ask you. As far as the home inspector dad, I think thats a jackpot. Their father isnt going to scare them to death. If he sees issues he'll point them out and tell them, this isnt a big deal, this is a big deal etc. Most of the time, its not what the home inspector says, but how he says it. Her dad will present things the right way to her without alarming her.

Our first showing apparently loved everything about the house except that she is afraid of the transmission wires 1/3 of a mile down the road. The electric company has a right of way and there is a line of towers that march from Canada down the state. We can't see them from anywhere on our property, or on the properties between us and the wires, except for the property that butts up on the right of way. The land is hilly and the trees are enormous. We had a second showing yesterday, but we have not heard feedback. The open house is Wednesday. Here's the listing on zillow. If you follow the road going left there are 2 driveways. The right of way is on the left. It actually 1/3 of mile away from us. I guess if this woman loved the house, some else will come along who loves it too and for whom the wires are a non issue. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/129-Schultzville-Rd-Clinton-Corners-NY-12514/30092564_zpid/

We purchased our 4 peice FlexSteel sofa, oversized chair/ ottoman and matching accent chair on 01/25/15. Upon delivery, we experienced many quality issues with unmatched seams, exposed staples, sharp feathers poking us from all the pillows, and fabric grains that were "off grain". We should have returned all the pieces at that point but we trying patiently to resolve them. Less than 12 months later the cushions collapsed and we are not large people and have no pets or children. They were replaced and now less than 12 months later need to be replaced again. We received the supposedly "more redesigned resilient" cushions only to find that they were even more unsupportive than the original ones. We now will call the owner of the company we purchased them from who has done many TV commercials assuring his customers of the FlexSteel "Quality" product. Do yourself a favor and buy a different brand. Rick & Terri Messner, Macedonia, Ohio

Like anoriginal says, the bugs were already there. The female weevil lays eggs in the wheat kernel and it can sometimes survive the milling process. The eggs will hatch if they’re in warm or humid conditions, or have reached their maturity. The flour bugs eat the grain and then seek to mate… while eating more grain. How do these pests get into our food? Occasionally, some may find their way inside from outdoors; however, the majority of these pests are in food products brought into the home. The initial infestation can originate at the processing plant, the warehouse, the delivery vehicle, or the retail store (chances of becoming infested increase the longer a food item is stored at the same location). Beetles and moths have four stages in their development: egg, larva, pupa and adult. All stages may be present in the food, but the eggs are so tiny they are seldom seen. The larval stage is most destructive, but the adult stage is most often seen. DOES FLOUR GO BAD? The short answer: Yes. The long answer: The more processed the flour is, the longer it takes to go bad. Whole grain flours should be kept in a refrigerator for the short term, about 2-5 days. If you need to store whole grain flour for longer than a handful of days, the freezer is the best place. If the flour will be used within a month or two, it should be kept in a sealed container. One to two months is considered “quick” in terms of flour usage, so you can keep your flour in a container that is NOT sealed (i.e. the same thick paper bag, rolled down) but the chances of the flour going rancid increase. If the flour will not be completely consumed within two months, it should be stored in a sealed container. Freeze newly purchased grains and flour for at least three days to kill any eggs. Some sources recommend freezing for up to one week. (Note that freezing will kill the eggs, but not remove them.) As a general guideline, don’t buy more grain than you will use within four months. Store grain in a tightly sealed container, not a bag. Weevils are HUNGRY little devils and can eat through bags. (See my storage recommendations above). Adding whole bay leaves and garlic cloves to the area seems to deter flour bugs from setting up shop in your pantry. Garlic may leave a trace flavor in your baked goods, so if you don’t want that, go for the bay leaves instead. You can also apply tea tree oil to a few cotton balls and place them throughout the pantry. WILL EATING BEETLES HARM ME? Other than give you the heebie jeebies, they’re harmless. In fact, the heat from baking kills the eggs and any beetles that may have made their way into your batter. So while the odds of us eating weevils – or have eaten weevils in the past – are high, the mortality rate is low.
