Soooooo....we had our house on the market on & off for 12 months. In April we listed it with our friend and FINALLY closed on Monday!! WHOO HOOO!!! But not without problems......
It was a single girl buying it and I'm sure she is a really nice person, but MY GOODNESS!!! We went back and forth many times with her. Didn't have to fix too much from the inspection and were scheduled to close on Sept 4th. Well, this sweet sweet girl (insert sarcasm) decided to wait until the Friday before Labor Day to have the septic tank inspected and cleaned. She didn't get the report until the Tuesday before we were to close. We already spent the entire long weekend moving our stuff into a rental (just me and Bryan- MISERABLE!) Well, long story short......
Bryan met the septic guy and the buyer at our house first thing Wednesday morning. They had to dig up a little (which freaked me out).
Then a few hours, a busted water main, and a few thousand dollars later our yard looked like this!
SOOOO- we obviously didn't close.
And I was beginning to think we were going to have to move our stuff back into our house!!!
They fixed the problems, but then we had to get it inspected by the county inspector, who was in NO hurry to do his job. He came Thursday and we were ready to go. Bryan and our fantastic realtor, Porter Mason, laid sod all Friday long while we all thought we were going to close that afternoon.
Then, the girl showed up saying that her lender would not approve her loan without a form dealing with the septic- UGH!!!!!!
So, at this point I had given up all hope. Bryan called me Monday afternoon at 2:51 while I was in carpool to tell me that closing was set for 3:00 - NINE minutes!!! Have you EVER heard of such a thing! The ding bat of realtor thought she had hit reply all to let us know!
Anyway, we finally closed with these two in tow!
I was so happy to do done with all this mess, but then got super sad when we pulled up to take this picture and CC started crying. She said 'This is the only place I've lived. I have so many memories here"
Does anyone else watch Good Luck Charlie with their kiddos?
I had a little "Amy Duncan" moment when she was moving from the house she raised her kids. She kept having flash backs of bringing each one home.
This was CC's room for 7 years.
I still can't believe we won't be living in this house!
But we are super excited about our new house! We are building in Ross Bridge and it should be ready in 4-5 months! We've already had one meeting and meet again next week to make more decisions.
Until then we are renting a house a 1 miles down the road, so CC can stay at her school. The girls love it b/c the ice cream man come by every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to rob us of $2 for a push up pop!
We are living in boxes and eating on paper plates for the next 4 months- no one is invited over- ha!
One last picture of my girls in front of our "old" home!
As my BFF Ellen said..... On to new adventures!
