Moved (but not moved in)

She started off the day by telling our broker at 10:20, "Oh, yeah ( Read more... ) -
Graaaaar!
So, we were supposed to settle on the new house today.
And we would have, were it not for that meddling underwriter (and their dog, too!).
You see, our original underwriter went on vacation. But they seem to have terrible handwriting, as the replacement underwriter couldn't read most of it. As a result, when we came to closing, it turned out ( Read more... )
