Moving Day...

Well I must say it was a long day, but it went well. The movers had to make two trips with the truck...they didn't even bring boxes...just the big stuff....no fabric. They were a very nice crew that were very efficient and hard workers. I would definitely recommend the men we had. They were from Buckhead Movers. The first truck had problems so they used the Bulldog one. I think they work for either one.

The plumber is supposed to come over later and turn on our water...kind of need that for the toilets ;o).

It was interesting to watch the gutter people custom make them and then put them up in a downpour. It was a good thing since it was a really dirty job taking them down! They got a "natural" shower. Though they did take cover when the lightning came about.

Now to get the "old" house ready to sell and the new one situated before Stitch In. Yeah right...here's to wishing ;o)

You just have to laugh...

Well the closing on the house yesterday went well...just have a hand cramp from signing all those papers! Just kidding. It was all the way in Roswell and I am glad we have been through it a few times before. It was very easy! Our real estate agent was there as well as our "loan man". They were both great through the whole process.

When we were waiting for the A-Okay that they received the funds, we were just making small talk and found out something that just makes you wonder about the world we live in. Our "loan man" said that we did not pass the "fraud test" when qualifying for the loan...Well I must say we have an extremely high credit rating (DH is an accountant and I a former one) and were putting over 1/2 of the sales price down so we wondered about this. What it was is that with the amount of our income, we were not buying a high enough priced house...so we failed the fraud test on that. Crazy or what! Hmmm...I would like to retire some time and so would DH. Also we are good with our financing...just ridiculous! We said that we were fine with failing that!

The roofers are there today putting on the new top...glad I am not there hearing the bang, bang boom or seeing the mess. Right Pat?

Going over tonight to bring a few more things.

Happy Fourth!

Kevin (youngest son) will be giving us and DH's mom and dad a fireworks "show" this evening. He is so excited! DH and him were already "playing" with the noise makers when they should have been packing ;o)

Count down is on until closing on Wednesday. Then we get to start moving items over. Movers are taking the large heavy things...making progress. Yippy. k
