Things are better, I suppose. I feel like I still haven't quite come out of my funk from all the stress, but I'm trying to be positive.
We closed on the house this morning. That's the important part. The people had the jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom fixed last night, and the airconditioning people were out fixing the AC this morning, and were finishing as we closed. Things with the house are good as far as we can tell.
Our realtor handled the issue with the window at our old house. I don't know how it was resolved, and I'm not going to ask. All I know is that we didn't get stuck with it. Chas is right, they'll learn. Sometimes it's not cheaper to cut corners. They should have brought their inspector to the final walk-thru. I really liked the girl that moved in, and although all the trouble occured between our realtors, I doubt we'll be mixing business with pleasure. Too akward.
The bank people are idiots. The bank manager actually sided with the teller, saying that I had given her my checking account number instead of my savings. That's possible, but I verbally said that it was from my savings account. Besides, why would she withdraw thousands of dollars from an account with insufficient funds? That doesn't sound right. I've argued with them several times today, and they finally said they'd remove all of the overdraft fees as a courtesy. Courtesy? HA! I'm glad they are, but I made sure I told them that they would've been doing that anyway since they had a large part in the error, if not sole responsibility for it. Jerks. The next time I check my account, it had better be right! I'm not one to be messed with today because I've had just about enough of dealing with idiots.
The people are going to be out of the house Friday. I would've liked for them to be out earlier, but at least I have a date. They already set up for the utilities to be removed that morning, so I'm confident they'll really be out.
And that's it for updates. I wish I was jumping for joy right now since we have a gorgeous house that's only 3 years old and has everything we wanted, but for some reason, I feel like a total grump. I think I'm waiting for something else to go wrong. At least our house payment is nearly $150 less than we thought it would be. That's certainly something to smile about. :-)
