is this coherent?

we went on the walkthru last night.  ya know the final walk-thru on the hosue where you make sure everything is in tact.  Yeah, well all their crap was there.  They haven't moved out yet.  So we did a walk-thru to pretty much just look at all their dirt and nastiness.  and the only thing we realized was that the house needs a lot more work than we originally thought. 

they're apparently moving out tomorrow.  lovely.  we'll be in PA.  can't do another final walkthru until monday.  so we go to closing today, sign all the papers, hand over a huge amount of money.. and don't even get a freaking key.  

they're such assholes.  granted its in the contract that they have 3 days.. but who actually stays those days?  and if you're gonna do that, you tell someone.  of course their real estate agent was conveniently sick yesteray so didn't show up to the walkthru and didn't tell our agent that they weren't moving out.  so we stood out in the cold for like 20 minutes until Zach got up the courage to call their agent who says she's sick and the homeowners are there.  Uhm, nope they're not.  BUt they had a lock box on the door, so we got in and we're instantly annoyed.  And Zach in his ever annoyingness is just like "guys you don't look happy.  what's wrong?"  

open your eyes moron.  perhaps its cause theres mounds of shit piled up everywhere so we can't even check and see if the filthy stove and dishwasher work.    now granted, i dont clean my stove and fridge in apartments - thats cause my whole thing is, i dont own it i don't care.  so i haven't fully cleaned either of them out in 2 years.. mine look shiny and sparkling in comparison to what they're living in.  how can you let a kid live in such nastiness?  ugh. 

so yeah, we have the closing at 11.  and i'm missing work for this.  and i'm annoyed.  and i want money back.  and we have pictures.

oh and i'm pmsing so you know i'm either gonna break down crying or punch the woman today.  she's pregnant - that'd be really bad.  

wish us luck ... we're gonna need it :(

so we closed

so we closed. took like 2 1/2 hours.. but we closed. they give up possession on monday. the place has to be professionally cleaned and obviously all their stuff out by then. we get the keys then and get to do a final final walk-thru.

theres a few thousand in escrow in case we find any damages and they took off a few hundred for the damages we already found - like the big hole in the closet.

best part was after we're all done. our lawyer turns to us right in front of the lady and is just like "the FIRST thing i want the two of you to do is change the locks! because you just never know!" it was hysterical.

it was hard to be mad at lynn (the seller) because she just really is a nice girl. i think under different circumstances i would like her much better. the whole reason they arent out yet is cause they close on their new house on monday and those people are closing on their house on like wednesday so they couldn't get out. crazy how our one sale sets off so many.. you just don't realize that.

so yeah it'll all work out. mark and i will get to eat pizza on the empty floor of our condo soon enough.
