Friday we had been assured our house closing would happen at 5pm Monday, with the needed document making it to the needed party by noon. Well, noon came and went with no word on the paperwork, but we were told to meet at 5 anyway. After juggling childcare (thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Courtney - you are awesome and I owe you big time!) we headed back down to Lexington. It does not inspire confidence when the secretary not only does not know anything of our planned meeting, but also has never heard of the realtor who was representing her office at our closing. Hrm. We ran into the buyers in the lobby and made some small talk with them while we waited. They seem like a great couple...I really hope they love the house. (They did mention they had seen "our" albino robin that made it's nest in a tree behind the house.) Finally we were ushered to a room and papers started to fly. It seemed crazy and unorganized but the job got done. Kind of. Sort of. Almost. We found out several signatures into the process that there would be no handing over of the check. It was to be a dry closing. Man, those realtors whipped out their phones to call people once they learned they weren't getting paid. But seriously, our realtor was great - if you are in need of a realtor I'd totally recommend her! We expect our check to come tomorrow......IT BETTER!
On the home building front - We have a roof!
Our fireplace was removed from the side of the house and placed on the back where it belonged. Today they installed the chimney!
This is inside the garage, looking toward the kitchen....kind of...
The skeleton of the great room!
Libby and I are checking out the dining room.
Anna, meanwhile, was hanging out with the cul-de-sac kids...
