Will do, Lee. We can discuss Velikovsky and Zoroastrianism over a couple of La Luna Natural Fuertes.

Congrats JReddoch...

Better stock on on 'gars now before the mortgage payments start!!!

It actually looks like my mortgage payment is about the same as my rent. God bless 6% interest!

Congrats JReddoch!!!!

Now you get to get moved in and find all the things that were just makeshift fixed... remember the Movie the "Money Pit"?? LMAO!!!!! I bought my house 2 years ago after the first 6 weeks I wanted to go find the other Owner and stomp his A$$... things I found in that length of time were Amazing... I think the person who did the Inspection on the place for me was Related to him LOL... One instance I had two different hook-ups for my dryer.. and that was another option on why I liked this place, when I got moved in and set up to do some laundry I washed a load of Clothes, when I went to dry them... the Electric Dryer I had owened previous wouldn't work... I thought Well ****, so I played around with the cord.. traced it back to the breaker box and there it was... the damn end of the cable was wrapped up and stuffed in the rafter around a bunch of other cables... the Electricion told me the breaker box couldn't hold the amps for the dryer so I had to go buy a new gas dryer... anyone know anybody needing an Electric Dryer BTW??? LMAO!!!!

another thing the Toilet was not bolted down correctly... thats another story I wont go into...

Congrats Again and welcome to the Home Owner Syndrom...

Hog, you're going to give me nightmares! I was perfectly happy to go on renting, but my wife has to have a "place of her own" whatever that means. She grew up and the Philippines, but managed to get an education, came to the US, got a great job, married a blond whiteboy, all she needs to complete HER American dream is home ownership.

Hey JReddoch thats Great to be a Home Owner... and all the Honey Do's will get worked out with Time.. it doesn't matter how perfect or Imperfect it may be... the thing is

It's Yours!!! And Her's or It's Her's and you can live with her LMAO!!!!!

When I married my second Wife last year.. I gave her the key's and left for 3 months so she could get adjusted to Her House LoL...She has done a Fantastic Job with it... and the Honey Do's keep Coming in...

You will see how much Different it is from Renting....

I think they Call it a Feeling of "HOME" and that makes it the Greatest... Your Wife is right JReddoch...

Hats Off Mrs.JReddoch!!!! Goals are Great when they become reality!!!

Enjoy

Guys, this is killing me! Every time I think things are all repaired and we're ready to close, something else happens. First there was a dispute over which moisture damaged walls had to be replaced. Then plumbers recaulked a leaking shower, which still leaks. Now, a marble company has to custom fit new trim to take care of the problem. If these things all get fixed it should be a great house, but right now it's driving me batty!

Sorry to talk about something besides the war on the Misc forum, but I have to vent about this!

Hang in there JR. It's just the nature of the beast. Hog is right, you will get ahead of the game eventually allthough there will always be something that needs repair. ( I also spit on the groud every time the previous owner's name is mentioned. outside of course.)

When we were trying to close, I remember getting the umpteenth call from the realtor telling us about the lastest snafu. My wife took it and when she said he wanted to talk to me, I instructed her to tell him to go #%*@ himself. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed or we would still be in an apartment.

and a great time to buy!...I just refinanced at 5.125%.

Looks like the closing will be on Wed. Wish me luck, everybody (and patience to avoid strangling someone).

Good Luck, smoke that Hoyo as a celebration!!

Good luck JR... hope all goes smooth...

Low

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Thank you, I feel better now.

Tomorrow is the closing?

If I don't end up in jail or jump off the Harbor Bridge.

That's what cigars are for. to assist in refraining from violent acts.

I've had four today! I believe I'll have a Camacho 11/18 tomorrow and if we actually get through the closing I'll smoke a gorgeous ISOM HdM double corona given to me be the great cwilhelmi.

The seller still has her car in the garage and a storage shed full of junk. I'm not signing off on the closing till they clear everything out. They claim to understand that, but the stuff's still there. Maybe not getting their money tomorrow will motivate them to get crackin'.
