I'm pretty much the most impatient person that I know. Some of my friends tell me that I'm the most impatient person that they know. The fact that I have to wait another 63 days to move into the new house is killing me.

I got the title and CC&Rs for the property. Nothing too scary.

I sent the sellers my list of requests from the inspection... however I haven't got a response yet. Actually I have until tomorrow for them to "receive" them... then they have 3 days to respond.

My agent went on vacation this week. He brought his laptop and cell phone with him. He also located the Windermere office at this vacation site so that he can keep up with the deal. Not sure I'd like to be in his family, but I like having him as an agent! :)

First the house update - did the inspection today. Went OK... found a bunch of minor issues and a couple not-so minor problems. We'll see how the sellers react to my proposal...

I wonder if they are reading my blog?

After talking about 1421 with some coworkers, Greg (no blog) brought in a copy of this weekend's New York Time book review. John Noble Wilford doesn't seem to convinced by Menzies evidence. Wilford brings up a lot of good points. I wasn't completely convinced of Menzies to begin with, but the review brings up even more questions. I still find the book very interesting, and would recommend it.

Note the review requires a subscription to the NYTimes website.

Inspection is scheduled for Wednesday on the new house. Should take 3 or 4 hours to check out the whole house. I talked to the current owners and apparently they used to own a custom audio/video store and did some pretty hi-tech custom wiring. Should be pretty cool.

At this point we just have 2 inspections (one on our current house by the buyers, and then ours on the new house) and we will be ready for the long wait before the move.

I don't know if I can survive without my DirectTivo (DirectTV with a builtin Tivo - it rocks!)... luckily there is a super simple "movers package"... basically I agree to sign up for another year of service and they give me a new dish and install it... Whatever, I'm going to keep DirectTV for longer than a year anyway, might as well get a free installation out of the deal!
