Return from the Underground
I'm back in black, I hit the sack, been gone too long, I'm glad to be back. Okay, somebody should shoot me for 2 reasons. First off, I just started this post with lyrics from an AC/DC song; secondly, I
know the lyrics. Well, things are going...
much better now, methinks. The house inspections (pest and home) went well, and our realtor faxed our response to the inspections to the sellers. This is evidently the way these things work. We now tell the sellers things like "I told you that you were gonna have to fix that," and they'll probably reply with, "Okay, now that a professional has bitched about said problem(s) in writing, we'll fix them." After they agree to fix up the few minor problems, we'll be set to close. The few minor problems being
- Disconnected condensation hose on the air conditioner, causing small amounts of water to run under the house
- Moving an uncompliant electrical tap from one hookup spot to another
- Unclogging the bathroom sink, so that it drains faster
- Providing proof of a recent pest (termite) treatment, or treating it
- Installing a gas shutoff valve to the stove hookup
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the progress of this house-purchasing transaction an 8 (almost finished). This means that most paperwork has been filed, all that remain are the above mentioned minor reparations, a home appraisal, a HOPE approval, and presumably a final signature. It sounds like a lot, but given all the other crap that had to be done first, it really is almost finished. We have now ordered our wedding bands from Helzberg in the mall. My ring is a 10.5 in size, and they are
matching bands. Things really are moving along, I just hope that all of the groomsmen and bridesmaids have gotten their outfits selected. Invitations are being printed at the moment, and will either be mailed or hand-delivered depending on the frequency with which we see you. Kristina will be working until close tonight, so my 4th of July is kinda shot as far as plans go. :-( Oh well, I'm not very patriotic anyways. See last year's
Independence Day events for some ideas of why... How can I forget, here are the results from the newest quiz:
