So I realize I have missed posting about a wealth of interesting subject matter recently, what with the car getting hit, all the changes for me at work, and progress on the new house. I just couldn’t seem to find the time to write anything interesting or edit another video on the house.

So here we are, down to the wire on the house and I get a call from our mortgage broker. Seems the bank wants to stop offering the loan program that we locked into 90 days ago and they will only give us our rate if we close by August 15th (as opposed to the 18th originally). We don’t really have all the details because we have never dealt directly with the bank, but it was not a happy thing to find out about less than a week before the scheduled closing and a mere 2 days from the new proposed closing.

So I scrambled around for an hour trying to make arrangements for things like moving vacation days around and finding out if we’d actually be able to get a moving truck early so we could take advantage of the extra time in the house. Needless to say, we found a way to make it work and are now closing at 2pm tomorrow. It’s been a long last few days.

Now I’m off work for a week and ready to finish packing, start moving, and start enjoying the new house. I will try to come back and post more pictures and videos of the house. We still have so much work to do…
