The appraisal is underwritten and everything is good. Now it comes down to paperwork. We're trying to get a preliminary HUD to make sure everything is on there correctly, but if we don't get the prelim, we just have to argue at closing if anything is wrong. It could turn closing into a longer affair than I'd like it to be, but I should have enough time to get to the opening of my play...*crosses fingers*
Now I get the fun of figuring out how to handle my mom. She's recently retired and looking for things to keep her busy. Which is great, she has a lot of experience working on houses, but we are going to butt heads a lot. We both want to be project manager, and while we've already discussed that while I appreciate her contribution and am so grateful that she wants to help me as much as she does, it's still my house and she doesn't get to take over on the decision making. I'm buying a house so I can be the one to make the decisions, darn it.
We're at 23 hours and counting until closing. I'm still trying to remain calm, which is helped by the sheer exhaustion I'm suffering from. I was at the theater until after midnight last night. More things outside my control, but I need to do what I can to help things along. The parts that are under my control seem to be going well, though I say so myself. If I can survive the dress rehearsal tonight, I think it will be okay.
