A: 176 pages? Yikes. Sounds like tear down and rebuild is easier. You should discuss this with your Realtor as to how to address these items. Sounds like this buyer wants a Ferrari for the price of Prius, and this may be a sign that this buyer is going to be nothing but trouble for you all around. Certainly you should consult with a local real estate attorney if you cannot resolve this situation. Give the buyer back his deposit and say "Hasta la Vista."
