Random Thoughts, Notes, & Incidents

Progress on the house continues. Buying a home, it turns out, is a full-time job. With the loan guy alone I've had to sign and fax him at least 25 pages of documentation. Then with realtor there've been disclosure statements and inspection reports, etc., and I'm just getting started with the insurance. And, they all tell me, just wait till we close - then I'll see the real paperwork.

We passed the termite inspection (no live infestation), we've got loan approval, the appraisers said it's worth at least what we're paying for it, and then yesterday we passed the main property inspection. So, at this point, there's very little that can get in the way of our closing on the 27th of this month!

It may, however, be a little longer than that before we can move in, as the folks who live there now aren't sure when they'll be able to close on their new house. So, we may be renting the house back to them for at least part of April. No big deal, we've waited this long to buy a house, we can wait another few weeks to move into it.
