The walkthrough

[dancerjodi]

It went as expected, they didn't have everything out (most of the stuff on the 1st and 2nd floor was out but the basement had A LOT of stuff). They also haven't cut the grass (which violates our P&S) and they didn't replace the fixtures that they said they were going to remove (antique family heirlooms) with other ones.

We're still closing tomorrow morning and as of that time its ours and we have keys. He's offered us $500 in cash and $500 off of the price of the house for the inconvenience and we are doing a holdback of some amount of $ TBD tomorrow once everyone's lawyers are around (basically, a portion of money that the seller gets will go into an escrow account and if they haven't cleaned the place to our satisfaction by 5:00 PM all of that money AND the stuff in the house is ours and they have to get out).

Oh joy. I really wanted to go to netgoth coffee tomorrow night but it looks like we won't be able to start moving our fragile things in until around 5:30 or 6:00 PM (versus the 10:30 AM that we had planned on).

I had forgotten how funky (and not in a good way) their decoration sense is . . . the place will require much cosmetic updates which will be fun :)

I'll be ready to help by 3pm and I'll actually already be in Natick. What can I do around then? Will you already be at the new house ready to unload?

so will you still be good to go friday? I should be able to get there around 6 or 7, I'll call to figure out where you are.

And I think not getting out in time is standard practice, my friend Larry charged the previous owners 2.5k a week (rounded up) for staying over....they made 20k back. They were annoyed, but the living room furniture is awesome
