Whoah, slow down!

So the last few days (since Thursday) have flown by. We need time... And lots of it. When you buy a house, you look quickly and make a surface evaluation of what it is going to need to be up to your own personal tastes and standards. It isn't until you get in and start looking under the hood that you realize just what you bought.

Let's go back to closing day which was Thursday. Think they got out then? No. Actually, they weren't out until 8PM Friday night. The movers had to take all their stuff down to "South Jersey" 2 times because the truck was too small. Now it is important to note that the sellers were convinced they were moving to south Jersey. Everyone else said they were moving to Riverdale, which is 5 minutes from here. I admit it IS south of here, but not what one would call south Jersey. And they kept lying about it all day. We believe the whole moving truck breaking down and south Jersey thing was their plan all along. We lost 1.5 good working days in that house because of their crap! They are out now and hope we don't run into them down the road someday.

So back to the house for a second... Yes the house needs a ton of work, but this is something that we are not afraid of. Juggling what gets done when is tricky considering I only have evenings and weekends to work on the place and we are moving our stuff in soon. December 9th, we have a team of close friends helping us move in our boxes and yard equipment, lawn furniture etc... We are having pro movers do the furniture on December 13th, at which time our focus switches to making our soon to be "old house" ready for the people buying it from us.
