No house yet.

I was supposed to close today. And in fact I did sign all the documents for closing, and handed over my check for the remaining closing costs. But Pulte sent along an incorrect document for the soil test, and despite being hassled about it for the last two weeks straight, they claimed ignorance at the closing table and then spent the next two hours trying to dig up the correct one. Eventually everyone sent me home and said that they’d bring me the keys as soon as the correct form was faxed over, but at 3:30 today, my realtor called and said that the underwriter didn’t approve whatever Pulte sent, so now I’m waiting until tomorrow to get the keys. I was okay with this earlier, but now I’m actually quite grumpy about it. I was hoping to get a lot of moving done tonight and set-up for painting tomorrow, and now I can’t because of THEIR fuck-up! Not to mention that I’m paying interest for one day on a house I can’t enter. Thanks a lot, jerks!
