I was searching for the discussion (still am searching for it) where we (several of us) arrived at the best phrase to use, something like "competent" or ??? and found this post.

"all repairs should be made before final settlement of the home."

I read that and thought ... ummmmm ... shouldn't final settlement of the home have taken place a long time ago?

I believe Scott is referring to 'settlement of the transaction'.
