Here’s the picture of our new neighbor as taken from the living room window. Mount Rainier.

We have arrived safe and sound and are staying in our new house.  Originally we intended to stay in Dana’s hell hole apartment but upon further consideration…. I flat out refused. It’s small.  It’s tiny.  It hasn’t been cleaned since he moved in the joint.  Yep, that guy was totally enjoying the bachelor life.  So […]

When Dana gets internet access in a few days… or weeks… and checks out this post… I’m gonna die.  So…. nice knowin’ ya…. On with the post! The remainder of the items from our house were packed and they’re off for parts unknown.  There were a few times when Dana and the driver man were […]

Packers arrived this morning and started packing.  Things going fine.  Our little truck driver man starts calling around to the other subcontractors, attempting to bypass United movers, and telling everyone his schedule is messed up and he needs to pack us up today.  HAH!  We’re not even packed.  This guy did show up around noon […]

Friday the movers came and the chaos hit full speed.  The movers that showed up thought they were packing our entire house and putting it all on the truck on Friday.  We were told that some packing would occur on Friday, some crating of things on Friday, more packing on Monday and then load the […]

I’ve been slacking when it comes to posting.  In the past few months I have posted several times in one day.  The reason?  Mental disorganization.  I was going days and days between posts because I couldn’t keep my thoughts straight, couldn’t get around to writing that long narrative, etc.  I found one day that if […]

I am being very cautious about even posting this because, although I don’t believe in jinxing things…I don’t want to jinx it. Our buyer has secured 100% financing without selling her house.  Today she signed an ammendment to our contract stating that she was removing the contingency on selling her house, she is removing her […]

So here’s the latest. The buyer still hasn’t decreased the price on her house and, shock of shocks, it still hasn’t sold.  (Imagine that!).  There is no way she’ll be able to close on our house on the 10th but if she had a firm sales contract on her home by then I would, of […]

The buyer has had some people look at her house but no buyers.  She has one lady who really likes the house but wants a bigger yard. C’mon lady… bigger yard = more yard work in 98 degree heat with a heat index of 107 = heat stroke = life as a vegetable living at […]

The buyer decided (finally!) to lower the price of her house and she cut it by 20 grand.  I would’ve preferred if she had dropped it by thirty grand but this is a start.  The buyer also states if her house doesn’t sell this week she’ll lower the price again. I think the "lack of […]
