CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE .. CLOSING DAY!!!

Closing day is here at last .. we're supposed to be closing on our house AND the villa back to back at 1:30!!!  We're a bit uncertain about things at the villa!! There are several things that are not done yet .. and several repairs

I called Tim yesterday afternoon to see if he could possibly meet us at the house or this morning .. turns out he is at Lake of the Ozarks vacationing with his family.  I told him we would like to have it in writing that the various things that are supposed to be repaired will be repaired before we close.  He said there is a one year warranty on everything in the house .. the man (don't remember his name) who will be at the closing will explain it to us.  He also said an inspector is supposed to be there at 11:00 this morning to check things out before giving us an occupancy permit.  We don't see how he could possibly agree to give us an occupancy permit when the appliances aren't installed and so far there is no running water!!!  Ken and Tim have had a running banter about whether or not the villa would be ready to move into on the 30th and last time we talked to him Ken told him if the place was ready to move  into by the 30th he would take him AND Ashley out to lunch.  Ken took the phone and told him it looked like he would not be taking them out to lunch .. that the house hadn't even been cleaned up yet .. carpet fuzz .. grime on the floors .. stickers still on the windows .. blah blah blah.  Time called back later and said he had gotten hold of his cleaning lady and she would be there at 6:00 and work all night if need be and the place  would be clean.  Later I thought perhaps we should have told him there was no water and the appliances hadn't been hooked up yet but assume he knows that?????? 

Anyway .. not sure what's going to happen at closing .. we may or may not sign the closing papers on the villa.   Also .. there was supposed to be a walk-through inspection on this house before closing .. unless it was done without informing us that hasn't been done.  So .. once again we are in the land of STRESS!!!!
