4 Days!!!

4 more days till settlement.

We still have a little more packing to do.
Everything else should be in order for settlement.

5 Days!!!

Today the wife will be making sure where the bank has all the documents they need.

We still have a little bit of packing to do.

Friday is settlement and Saturday is move day.

Days 6 & 7!!!

This weekend has been about, packing, packing and more packing.

I have to say, my wife has been on top of packing the most.  Without her we would be really behind.  She has been amazing through this process.

We are all looking forward to move day.  Can't wait for settlement on Friday.

8 Days!!

This time next Friday we should be at settlement.  Hurray!!!

Sorry, I need to get some more pictures.

9 Days!

The Banks appraisal came back with no building issues.  It appraised for the same price we offered for the house a year ago.  Marty needs to become an appraiser.

We also had a mold test done and that came back with no harmful molds.

10 DAYS!!!

Ten days from now we will be settling on our house.  We are VERY excited to say the least.

No, the Deer heads do not come with the house.

Two Weeks till Settlement

October 3rd will be here soon.

It's crunch time to get things packed this weekend and next week.  We want to be as prepared as we can to load the truck after settlement.

As my wife mentioned, I sprained my ankle on Monday and have been resting it all week so that it won't interfere with the move.  This move is very important and I don't want to be the cause of any delays.

As for the banks, I believe we are in a good place and they have all the documents needed.  My wife has done an amazing job of staying on top of that.  Thank you sweetheart.

Hopefully we get a lot done this weekend.

A Wife's Worries

Maybe "This Wife's Worries" is a more accurate title.  Because I tend to be a worrier and not all wives or women are.

Worry:  That loft area(pictured in the last post) is going to be our homeschooling area at first.  I'm worried it won't be big enough.
Response:  We have the whole house at our disposal to use as a school room.


Worry:  We don't have a dining room table.
Response:  A good friend has a bunch of old barn wood that he wants to get rid of and has offered it to us.  My husband will make us a table.  And maybe a bench.  Hint?


Worry:  I haven't rented the moving truck yet.
Response:  Oops, better do that.


Worry:  Husband sprained his ankle Monday.
Response:  Oh my gosh, God, please heal his ankle.


I could go on, but don't want to bore you.

We're continuing to get paperwork in to our lender.  That all seems to be going alright except our bank statement for our checking account is about ten days late coming.  And I can't find the statements for the 401k.  I know I've seen one in the last 6 months but I can't figure out what I've done with it.

Marty

Package Delivered

This morning I had to take a detour to work.  I have to swing by the back to drop off the loan papers for the Loan Officer.  She will be in the office tomorrow but hopefully this way, it will be on her desk for her first think tomorrow morning.

I hope everything is in order and that we hear back in a day or two.

We are also having an air born mold test done today for our records.  A swab test was done months ago by the previous potential buyer, but we have come to learn that swab tests are not reliable.  Hopefully the air test comes back negative.

Waiting on Inspections

Apparently the Loan Officer is out till Tuesday.  However, this will give us a little time to get the inspection reports back from Amerispec.  These need to go to our Bank ASAP.

I know, it seems endless.

Inspections Completed

So yesterday I spent most of the morning at the house with the home, water, septic and termite inspectors.

The water, septic and termite went rather quickly.  The home inspector was VERY thorough, which was great.  It gave me an idea of what I needed to work on once we get into the house.

It is bit of a laundry list, but all things that I can do over time.  There were only a few items that I need to hit before the cool weather sets in.

Anyhow, we will give the bank what was requested and see where we go from here.

I am praying that there will be no more hangups, and that we can stick to the 10/3 settlement date.

Next Steps

Now we start down the path of making this Dream a Reality.

First on the books is to get the inspection scheduled.  My beautiful wife has already made arrangements for an inspection for next Tuesday.
The home was recently inspected, but we just want to be on the safe side.

Next is a water test, which is also in the process of being scheduled.

This all has to be done in the next 14 days. (Shouldn't be a problem.)

Then we have to get all the financials together, which is mostly just basic stuff at this point since we already placed a contract on this house almost a year ago.

The Bank has put a 10/3 settlement day out there and as long as there are no hangups, then we should have no problem meeting it.

APPROVED!!!!

Contract has been approved.  Now for inspections and settlement.
