The Slippery Slope Down

After 2 weeks of insane ups and downs things are finally slowing down to the wait and see crawl. Everything with the house that we are buying is yet again up in the air.  We were suppose to close originally June 24th. Then we learned that there was a small problem with the title, but that it would be cleared up relatively quickly and that the banks Lawyer should have the corrected title to our Lawyer around the 4th of July.  So we rescheduled the closing for today.  Well now that's not happening. Our Lawyer still doesn't have the title and we have no idea why. The Banks Lawyer doesn't seem willing to let us know what the problem is, but if we can't close in the next week or so we can'r move at the end of the month as planned.  This means having to inform our management company that we need another month, paying another months rent that we had already budgeted elsewhere, and reschedule movers, truck and all.

So right now we are living in a disaster zone with boxes everywhere, making it hard to clean. and no idea when this is going to change.  We had wanted a month to get some small problems with the house fixed and do the painting.  So now if we do close in the next we I will only have one week to see to all the things I needed to. Like switching all the utilities, painting, fixing some non-working electrical outlets, repairing a damaged roof vent  that a raccoon ripped open, and a sump pump line that the maintenance crew ran over when mowing the grass the tried to move out of the way resulting in them shattering the pvc line that runs along the east wall of the house. Oh and did I mention that these last two the real-estate companies maintenance team where suppose to fix before closing and still haven't.

Property Virgins, and House hunters make it look so much simpler.  Like the search is the hard part and that everything else after that is a piece of cake. And I guess for most people it is. It just seems like anything that can go wrong with us buying a house has, and I'm really getting tired of it. I just want it to be done and for us to be in our new home.

Please anyone with any extra  positive energy to spare, prayers, what ever that can help resolve this situation in a positive manor, please send it our way.  I've run out of positive and find myself on the slippery slope of a depression setting in.
