One Step Closer
March 01, 2006
Jill's not the only one who's having work done on her home. Oh wait. Technically, she probably is since the work that's being done on my home is not officially mine yet. But it is looking as if I am getting awfully close to closing on my condo in my filing cabinet. The closing date should be Monday or Tuesday next week. But we'll see. I can't help but be skeptical. I've been in this situation before. I've gotten this close to closing before and its fallen through.
The work that is being done is fixing a water leak from the shower in the filing cabinet above mine. It's made its way down between our floors and started coming through the ceiling in my master bath. Small issue, really. The builder has come in and torn out the ceiling already and a plumber is coming today to fix the leak. Tomorrow they'll patch and paint the ceiling. By Friday it'll be good as new.
It's kind of nice in these situations to have a home owners' association because they are responsible for fixing anything wrong that occurs on the other side of my paint. I insisted on having this done before we closed because I didn't want to deal with these people coming in and out while I lived there. I feel lucky I have that liberty.
It is very disruptive having people come in and out of your home while you are trying to live there. Of course, everything about this ordeal has been disruptive. I'm hoping that everything will be resolved in a week or so, but this is one of those things that I just won't count on anything until the work is actually done and the checks are disbursed. You are lucky that you can have the work done before you close.
I'm excited to see photos of your new place and to hear about your trip to Boston.
