Closing

The closing on our new property in Oregon has hit a glitch. It seems the underwriter wants a few things done before it can close. They called us yesterday morning - closing was to be tomorrow. The essence of POWER!! The seller was all set to move tomorrow, we were all set to close tomorrow, everything was all set - especially since the closing was like 4 weeks out - so when nothing came back last week - we were sure we were set!!

Now, the realtor (which will also be our neighbor) is whizzing around getting the piddly work done (loose toilet and spongy back door) and a subterranean spray done and get the things signed off for us. She is really having to work for her money!! I'll owe her a big bbq when we finally get there! We know that the house is small, that it is old, that it isn't in the greatest shape - but we know the potential!! That is what we are buying - but try to explain that to a person that has the POWER to stop everything in it's tracks. Why did she wait until the last minute? 'Cause she had POWER, that's why. I so dislike people that use POWER to cause others grief and discomfort!!

I've only had one house purchase go smoothly so I've come to believe that was an exception to the rule...so the purchase is proceeding "normally"! HeHe. It will all get done I'm sure and Jack and I are looking forward to camping out in your new house with you when it does! Keep your chin up!

Glad to hear you are getting a house back in Oregon - it will at least be somewhat closer to S'te - hopefully the repairs will be made and you will be in there before you know it.
I saw 2 skunks in Berger King once. They worked at the Olfactory down the road:):)
Imagine, you saw the Orioles and they actually one for once - amazing:(
