We had the inspection meeting yesterday around 3. Us and the realtors went over all of the issues in the document. With the exception of the basement issue and one other thing, everything we all agreed is cosmetic and can be checked off. The other thing besides the basement is a problem with the sliding glass door. It doesn't open smoothly and the concern is that the frame is warped or there's buckling around the sill. We are going back to them to see if the door can be adjusted or if it's a bigger problem. The bigger issue though is the basement and the external grading around the basement. Worse case scenario we would have to rip out the drywall and brace the wall. That's about a $4000 job. Therefore, we are going back to the seller today and asking for additional concessions or price reductions. We shall see what happens.

We also started the process of executing a power of attorney to allow B to do all the signing and handle the entire process in my absence. We are waiting to hear back from the loan underwriters if this is acceptable. We should know more later today or tomorrow.

Big stuff happening. If all goes according to plan (ha!) then B will take care of signing on 11/2, come home, I leave on 11/5 for a work trip, back on 11/9, we have the movers come 11/12, we leave 11/13 and arrive 11/16. The movers can arrive 11/17 or 11/18. We then have the next week to unpack and get situated. One thing I am worried about is internet being on and available. It looks like we will have to go with AT&T there. Not happy about that situation, let me tell you. But if I look at the positive, it will be fiber and I will have a 1gb connection. Only silver lining.

Got through day two of my class. Same one person was a problem. It got so bad I sent the sponsors a message about her. Mostly because she was talking about going to an Expert class. Um no. You are asking questions that clearly show me you aren't using the product and practicing so no way in hell am I letting you into an Expert class. They promised to look into the issue.

Made more cookies last night to use stuff up. Worked out pretty well. I now have like 3 dozen more cookies, but I used up a few things in the pantry. For dinner I had a burger out as I needed to hit the pet store and didn't feel like cooking food.

B is finally a bit relaxed since she sees an end in sight. I am being a bit more cautious. We shall see how the next few days go.
