Oh The Stress!
I don't think we are going to ever actually move into the new house because I think the stress of it all is going to cause me a nervous breakdown before we ever get there. My new home will be the institution they commit me to when I lose it!
First of all, my buyers... I told them they can send over people to do estimates as long as they give me some sort of advance notice. I'm sorry, calling me at work at 11:30 and telling me you have someone that can be there at 1:00 does NOT constitute advance notice in my book! This is the third time they did that. This time I WILL be there because they gave us the chimney estimate and it my response is ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!? So now today we will talk mold. But I will be the one asking the questions today. I am going to tell my attorney to tell them that we came down so much in our asking price that the chimney repair should be absorbed by that. I am dying to see how much the mold guy is going to tell us we need to spend.
Now my sellers.. I wrote about the setback thing before. Well they responded that they had the PERFECT solution. They were going to purchase an addendum to the title insurance that would cover the property that violates the line. When I pressed as to what this meant I found out that it meant that should anyone ever make me cut off that foot of the house, the expense incurred by doing so would be covered by the insurance. Um, for some reason this doesn't provide me with a heck of a lot of comfort. FIX THE PROBLEM! I then asked - when/if I try to sell the house some day, won't I have the same problem? Yep. My attorney said I can ask them to give me a credit for when I sell and have to cover the same thing - well, then won't my buyers ask for the same thing? It is a never ending cycle.
And finally, my attorney's office. I wrote about the suspect/suspect thing that was forwarded to the buyers. Today that same assistant told the buyer to send his requests to me directly - or cc me in his requests. Well, how uncomfortable am I now telling him that I don't want to cover the cost of the chimney! Isn't that why I hired an attorney? I have an idea! I'll just direct him to my blog. Then he can see how I really feel.
Ugh, I just want this ride to stop! I want to get off.
