Closing day approacheth. Friday is the scheduled day. There has been much last minute foderol from the prospective mortage underwriters (lots of documentation of income sources, primarily...no, I didn't tell them about the prostitution ring or the meth lab
). We had things rather thoroughly planned around being able to have the PODS container delivered on Friday or Saturday, but alas...can't get it dropped until Monday.
We have a contract for deed on our existing place, and at the price we needed to get, but the term of the contract is six months (secured by promissory note, of course), so it might be Spring before we can contract on the room addition we'll need. Before we move in, now have to forage up enough money to purchase and install a dishwasher in the new house...it is the one thing my wife won't move in without, and the one thing the place doesn't have. Sigh. Should be trivial compared to everything else we've been doing, though. Anyone ever installed one on their own...in a house that never had one before, I mean? All advice earnestly accepted.
We're about done with the major inside painting, and will be starting on the new tile soon here in the old place. That, and moving out, will discharge our final obligations under the terms of the contract for deed. I'll be glad to get started emptying this place out and filling up the new one. My son is eagerly looking forward to his new digs as well. Should be *much* nicer for him, being in a structure of his own and out of the suburban ghetto fourplex.
I can't tell if things are happening too quickly or not quickly enough.
