Busted!

Our real-estate agent called me yesterday at about 1pm and was like, "The pool man called the selling agent and said he saw a piano in the house, that you guys were moving in, and that you were doing a bunch of work to the house."

Okay first of all... this is a pool man. A POOL MAN! He needs to get a life. He had the audacity to give me his card, trying to maintain me as a customer after we take over the house... and then tattle taled on me. That is ridiculous. The dude needs to find something better to do with his time. This is really a victimless crime. Nobody is hurt by it. Loan documents are being prepared as we speak and we are going to be closing escrow by the end of the week. This guy really found it necessary to tattle tale on us even though he has nothing to do with any of it. What a loser!

So anyway, I told my agent that we had not moved in, that we had only moved our stuff into the garage, and that my dad was doing some painting in the house. She said that we needed to move the piano out of the house and to stop doing work on the house until escrow closed. She said that a lot of selling agents are not as bothered by this kind of thing but that this one had a bad experience recently so she's "gun shy." I get that it was not technically our house yet but come on... it's only a few days and it worked out with my dad's schedule. We couldn't just keep extending our rent at our apartment so we had to do something. It kind of works out just because my dad's back is in so much pain. It will give him at least a day off. It's not worth painting the house if it break's my dad's back in the process.

Well, as I had mentioned before, my loan guy called me this morning with news that the loan had been approved and that his docs department was going to prepare loan documents and send them over to the escrow company, at which time I will go over there, sign the documents, and we should close within 2 days from then. Hopefully it will be this week.
