Movement

People still suck, but at least now I can say there’s been some movement forward in this process.
Our banker finally decided to respond to us (after at least 5 attempts to reach him) and let us know that he’s ordered the Title Insurance policy and the Appraisal. We’ve been in touch with the Title [...]

People suck

That’s all I have to say.

Proud parents

I just have to brag about Sam. This weekend was the IC Festival (Immaculate Conception Festival, you know… the good ol’ Catholic church gambling and drinking party). Guy went late on Friday and took Sam with him. Taking him late was good because there weren’t many people, and best of all they [...]

Now, we wait…

Rush, rush, rush…. work, work, work… wait.
We faxed our paperwork to the bank first thing Thursday morning. Conveniently, the banker is MIA, again. He wasn’t in the office Thursday or Friday so our paperwork sits, and we wait. Let’s hope he decides to show up for work Monday.
In the meantime, the guys [...]

POWER!!!

I really should let Guy write this, but WE HAVE POWER!!! After the epic trenching saga, we finally have actual live utility power. The utility guys must have been there yesterday during the day since we didn’t have power as of Tuesday. Unfortunately, along with actual live utility power comes an actual live [...]

Crazy, I say

So yesterday was a crazy day. After finding out that they started digging without our knowledge (they told us they were going to start yesterday, we told them they couldn’t, we assumed they wouldn’t but they did anyway) Guy and I couldn’t stand the thought of not being there to see what was going [...]

So strange

While we’re busy playing games with the bank, the builder seems totally unaffected. He just called me and was with his window supplier. They were placing the order for our windows and had some questions. Obviously they seem pretty sure things are going to work out. I hope they’re right!
UPDATE: Guy [...]

Happy thoughts

While we’re waiting on the bank, I just have to say how happy Sam makes me sometimes. This morning, it was his tail. He has a very big tail. Very hairy. Very destructive at times. But when he’s really, really happy, his tail doesn’t just wag, it goes in full [...]

The games we play

I will freely admit that I have little patience. I will also freely admit that I suck at playing “salesmen games” because, just as in the story of my first appliance purchase, I get to the point where I’m afraid the salesman is going to withdraw his offer, or someone else is going to [...]

Sunday, Muddy Sunday

What a gorgeous weekend! Wow… hard to believe this is July.
I drove up to Cleveland Saturday morning while Guy had to work. Sam and I met him at the land Saturday evening and helped him fill in part of the trench. It was late in the day which meant the work was [...]
