dancerjodiWe were wondering how the smoke detectors got inspected, and how the water meter got its last reading. Ken neglected to tell us that WE were supposed to arrange these things. So today Brian and I went nuts to get them planned (arrangements that are usually made a week or two in advance). We can't sell our house unless these things happen.
Luckily the town is able to pull these things off tomorrow, phew! I had to go to the Fire Dept. and give them $25. Tomorrow after the water meter is read and the bill is drawn up we have to go to town hall and pay that in cash (usually bills are around $125 or so per quarter, I've got the cash in hand).
Today is final packing, patching, painting and that fun stuff. The movers arrive at 9:00 tomorrow. This will be our last night sleeping in this house, and its very, very strange.
I'll be much happier when all of this is over :) My nails are in desperate need of a manicure, my body is in desperate need of a shower, and my soul is in desperate need of a night out dancing or rocking out at a show . . .
IF YOU NEED US, our phone and internet connection is shut off tomorrow morning. The only way you'll be able to get us will be Brian's cell phone. If you don't have this number and think you'll need it let me know before the end of today. Otherwise, you'll have to get it from someone else that has it.

Good thing you were able to schedule that!

But he seems to have been less communicative during most of the process than he should have, so perhaps a delicate post-mortem may help him (and his future clients), while helping you get things off your chest.
