The appraisal has been ordered and I hope to see it by the end of the week or the beginning of next week. I'll be on a cruise ship next week so if there is anything I have to sign I'm going to really have to work the logistics from the ship. I have been letting everyone know that I will be more or less out of touch next week. My schedule for the summer is getting more compressed as the weeks go on.
I'm not surprised that the closing date has slipped to June: I was anticipating it. In some ways that's a good thing because this house hasn't sold yet. At the same time it's frustrating because I can't plan my move with any surety. I'm beginning to think that moving is going to happen the last week of July. I'll probably know that for sure the same week I close on the house.
If I don't move into the house until the end of July that will give the contractor almost 2 months to get the major part of the remodel done. I really don't want to move into it while flooring is being put down, etc.
Meanwhile this house is getting a new roof. There was enough wind damage to the roof in April that insurance will cover the roof so I'm not out of pocket for more than the 1K deductible. I'd figured that the roof would be a negotiating point for the sale. Now it should be an asset for a new owner. Hopefully this will be a good thing. There is a showing tomorrow. Every time there is a showing it's one more chance to find a buyer.
I leave on a cruise on Sunday. I really want to forget about this for awhile. Even if it only a week.
