And the wait continues...........

I had a day of ups and downs yesterday, as I was told that I could close on the house this Friday (2/10/06) and then later in the day I was informed that the closing would have to wait a week due to unforseen issues with the seller needing to make some improvements such as fixing a gutter, some piping, etc. Don't they understand I am going to fix the house up. I will be tearing down all the gutters anyway. From the banks end I think I am working with idiots. I wish I would have had more time to shop around.

The closing date of this Friday 2/17 is very frustrating from my end since I am heading over to Europe here from 2/16 till 2/26 on vacation. Unless I give power of attorney to my old man or sister, I will have to wait until I get back to get this deal finalized. I know what you are thinking, it is such a rough life getting a trip to Ireland with all my lodging and airfare paid for. Don't feel too sorry for me. It is great having a mother who gets these trips in appreciation for her placing exchange students in homes, and it is even better that she is taking me along.

Back to the closing time, it looks like I will probably not be getting the house until I return so that would make the closing on February 27th. I am still holding onto the outside possibility that I can get it within this week, but I think that is a long shot. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.

Unless if something changes I will catch up with you all at the end of the month.
