HELLS FUCKING YEAH!
Congrats to us! We are the proud owners of a ZERO BEDROOM DUPLEX! We finally signed today...not that there wasn't a fun new hitch today. FNH all of the sudden couldn't give us the $25000 loan as long as there were doors on the master suite. It was a fire hazard to have a door there, so this morning the fire marshal and Wes went to take the french doors off of our bedroom. Than the marshal wrote up a little letter, which we had to sign, stating that the door was off. Than we were ready to sign. It happened! It's done! The house is ours! Well, not technically until it is recorded tomorrow morning at 8am. FUCK YEAH!
"You just barely make too much money to qualify for this grant. Oh wait, I was wrong, here's a sticky note saying you do qualify." *two days later* "You make too much money to qualify" "You already told us we qualify, remember the sticky note? Here it is!" "oh right, you do qualify"
{We need you to bring those bank statements again because we forgot to copy the back side. We need you to bring those in a third time because we accidentally copied the front side twice.}
[We need a letter from your parents stating that you've lived with them since you rented that apartment.(letter says since nov 06) We need a letter saying you've lived with your parents since birth. Wait...what apartment? We need rental verification from your landlord by today and the bank closes in 30 minutes.]
{I need Matt to stop by on his lunch break and pick up these blank papers. Sign them and give them back. I'll fill in the information later.}
*original closing date* We can't close today because we need verification that Amanda worked at Value Village even though we already have paystubs and her W-2 from there. It's ok, they should be here soon. We sent them to Seattle.
*second closing date* Sorry, I've had almost all of this paperwork for 2 months but I forgot to assemble it into a binder and submit it to the money company.
*third closing date, 2 hours before supposed close* Oh, btw, our money company decided that your house is a duplex so they won't lend us $112,000. Let's try a different one, but first, sign a shit ton of papers so we can try this other company.
*final closing date, 1 hour before closing* Oh wait! We can't give you $25000 because the master suite doesn't have a window to the outside. "It's in the middle of the house with no exterior walls." Your house has zero bedrooms, and to ensure you don't use the master suite as a bedroom, you have to take the doors off and have the fire marshal write us a letter saying it's done.
Well, this means Crunk Extravaganza is totally on this weekend! Saturday (dec 22) 6pm-?? Crash at our house if you don't have a DD. Come celebrate housewarming, Matt, Ingrid, Criag & Dagan's birthdays (even though Dagan may not know it) plus Leif's return and Christmas!
Then on New Years we will be having a party as well. Eli and Patricia will be up for the holidays and would like to see people, so don't disappoint them!
