OK ... ebay fund is at $318.01, not bad for a pile of stuff that was going to go to donation. Finalized the mortgage finally today - that was a mind blower - though i had a good rate but turned out to be interest only on the 2nd mortgage (doing 10-10-80) and then another quote was quoted on an in correct credit score so in the end we chose Coldwell Banker Mortgage - the guy there worked hard - not that the others didn't - but he was always very clear and up front with the numbers. So it is good to get that decided.Closing still planned for Feb 24 - only a little over 3 weeks away!
Bob is still in Detroit being driven slowly crazy by the ABC Superbowl crew so it's been tough to chat with him on some stuff but to his credit he has been patient (nost of the time!). Thought we might have to overnight documents to him to sign but he may be able to sign them inbetween getting back from Superbowl and flying out on his next gig 3 days later. Plus it looks like he is getting a job offer - which he couldn't take 'til after we close due to the mortgage thang.
So now I just have to call and get home insurance quotes and then maybe I can breathe a wee sigh of relief. Oh - went over the contract with a stand-in attorney yesterday - ours was out on a family emergency- the stand-in guy was such a friggin' windbag - basically had an hours-long conversatoin with himself, telling tales, implying that he would save the world from mean seller's agents. Thank goodness we are on Bob's company legal benefits coz if that guy was on billable time I think I might have had to been rude to him. Hopefully next time we will have our attorney Karen Nejame back! So I have to drop off some signed stuff and a check for 9% to bring the downpayment monies up to 10% to hand over when we get the contract dialled. Hopefully there won't be too much heave-ho on the contract and the water tests (they didn't turn the water on for the inspection) go OK. And soon we shall have a house! Phew!
