Teatopia

All hell's breaking loose

Well, we are less than a day away from closing and things are going wrong left and right. Everytime my phone rings, I think, WHAT NOW???

First, and this isn't the biggest problem by far, the people were supposed to be out this weekend, but they didn't get their stuff out in time, so now I've had to schedule all the work people (fence, carpet, paint, etc) for later. Now, everything won't be done in time for us to move in.

There's a problem with our old house that already closed. When the buyers had their inspector come through, he found a window that needed to be replaced but wasn't clear which one when he wrote it down, and then the guy we hired to fix it fixed the wrong one. It's one of those things that isn't really anyone's fault because the inspector wrote down the left window and the repair guy thought it was the left one facing the house, and it was the left one if you're inside. You get it. Well, the buyers chose not to have the repairs re-inspected during closing to save money and therefore waived their right to make sure things were fixed before closing, but they want us to pay for the correct window which they didn't catch during their final walk-thru. It was an obvious enough mistake that they noticed it on their own yesterday. NOT MY PROBLEM. I already paid to have one replaced.

The people didn't fix the repairs in our new house that the inspector found. They tried to do the fixes themselves and made them worse. Apparently, they think they are plumbers and electricians. they actually cut tons of wires in the attic instead of repairing them????? And instead of fixing the leaking motor in the jacuzzi, they unplugged it. Idiots. We close tomorrow and the house needs lots of work. Much more than it would've had they hired professionals to begin with.

When I went to get my cashier's check for the closing tomorrow, I withdrew the money from savings since that's where it was being held. The stupid lady withdrew the money from my checking, severely overdrafting my account (and bouncing several things) and now there's a freaking hold on my checking and nothing I can do about it until tomorrow. I need money tonight to pick up the paint. I guess that's what credit cards are for.

GRRRR.........
