Random Hump Day!

[shemarie82]

My boss is the coolest. She just sent me a message that she put a bag of toys in my car to make sure that we had enough for the twins this weekend!

[requiressnacks]

I just went on a 30 minute walk. Funny how a little sunshine and fresh air can change my attitude.

I considered doing the same as I drove from one site to the other. But, I have too much shit to do, so I will suffer in my windowless office.

That's awesome!

Although I am wondering how your boss has access to get in your car lol

We have about 15 people that park in the parking lot in front of this building. And, the only time I lock my car is when there is a cooler full of booze in it like last Friday.

rablissful, good luck with your interview, I love all the Bones gifs!

Back from my eye appointment. Super cool eye doctor (who is apparently not in network) but I can no longer drive legally without glasses. Stupid near-sightedness. He doesn't think I'm a true nearsighted person but all the studying I've done (and how I like to study) has trained my eyes to focus on the close and not the far stuff. Ordered cool new glasses (because I lost my fave pair in the move) to wear mostly while driving or at the movies.

cheshie6, we can't be BFFs, because I think we were separated at birth.  SO many similarities!

starbuck27, was their name Lovesmesomecake? because I could totally do that right about now. food coma.

[teraiin]

I'm feeling unhappy, distressed, and just blah today. No real reason. Nothing's going wrong. I'm just not happy. Bleh.

[nuggetrn]

I AM SO HAPPY!

So, we have been dealing with a super obnoxious seller on this house we are trying to buy. He thinks he knows everything. Apparently as well as being a contractor and doing wiring work he is also a professional roofer and a licensed realtor (sarcasm).

He has been nothing but a huge pain.

We originally agreed on a higher price anticipating some renogiating when it came to the roof... he was a pain and that basically didn't happen. During the whole negotiating process our realtor is like, this house is not going to appraise for the sale price, I'm concerned. He's all like, I sell houses all the time, this is a fair price. Blah blah blah.

We decided to go forward with the appraisal and it came in wayyyyyyyyyy low!

IN YOUR STUPID FACE! I am excited for the gloat factor on this one, but now we have to go back and negotiate with this stupid butt. Soooooo, should be interesting.

But for the moment, HAHAHAHA. Happy

[nuggetrn]

teraiin I feel like my post was ill timed!

I feel your pain though! It sucks to be unhappy when you feel like you don't have a reason!! Because then you feel bad for feeling bad!!

((Hugs)) I hope you start feeling better

Yes! I love when people get their commeuppance (sp?)

We had something similar happen when we bought our house. The sellers were dead set on getting $240k (and they wanted to take all their appliances with them and swap them for the appliances in their new house). We offered $220k, because that's what our realtor suggested was the actual value it would appraise for. They pushed us up to $231k, and only accepted that after our realtor AND their realtor agreed to lower the fees AND our realtor threw in a free cruise that her company was offering as a promotional thing to people who sold their houses through them (even though they were using a different company). They dragged their feet for days and finally (right around the time their first mortgage payment on their new house should have been coming due) they accepted the offer.

Three weeks later the appraisal came back. At $220k. And we had to go through all that bullshit again. We seriously almost walked away.

I hope you stick it to him.

We plan to! It is very possible we are going to walk away from the house because of this. With the hope that they chase us begging us to buy their house. Hahaha. We shall see.

Thanks! If it helps your post made me smile. I'm glad you get a chance to stick it to him. Or at least make his life more miserable since he's been such a know-it-all.

Thanks! I think it might just be displaced stress/anxiety. Between family staying two weeks ago, more family coming in a week or so, a wedding out of state, a mini vacation that seemed like a great idea at the time, I think I'm just feeling overwhelmed.

OMG they sound awful!

The appraisal came in 2k lower than what we originally offered them. Tee hee. I can't wait to see what happens!!

What ended up being your final deal?

You sound busy!! I definitely get that overwhelmed feeling. It is easy to shut down when you feel like you have too much on your plate! Is there any way to make any of these obligations easier on you?

To be COMPLETELY honest. Cancelling the vacation would feel like a load off because I wouldn't need to worry about dog-sitters and all that stuff. But I'm worried that I only feel that way because of my stress and when the time comes I'll love being able to RELAX for a couple days.

requiressnacks, LOL I'll tell MH it's all his fault when I get home. JK. 

[nuggetrn]

teraiin, staycation!! Pjs and netflix all day. Lol. That sounds relaxing to me.

What ended up being your final deal?

They were crazy aggravating to deal with. We expressed concerns about the roof. They presented a "report" from a roofer friend saying the roof had at least 10 more years left in its lifespan. Um... no. The house was 15 years old at that point, and it was a 15 year roof... so, no.

They threw a huge fit over the appliances. They absolutely, positively HAD to take their appliances. The sad part is, if they'd just TAKEN THE APPLIANCES when they moved out we'd never have even noticed. But because they kept pushing it (it was in the listing, it was in every piece of paperwork and every communication) we were concerned they were either trying to stiff us with shittier appliances or they were going to fuck something up taking the appliances out and moving them. In the end we settled on them taking the fridge because the one they wanted to trade it for was stainless steel instead of black.

They finally agreed to the $220k, because we flat out told them that we could not possibly sign a deal for higher than appraisal value because all our extra cash was going to the down payment and we didn't have an extra $11k hanging around to make up the difference in what the mortgage company would give us and what they wanted.

For a year we kept finding things wrong with the house that the inspector somehow missed. And random things that he wouldn't have checked for that were clearly done by the owners. Like, the toilet paper holders aren't level. And not in a deliberately-put-them-at-an-angle kind of way. Like, just slightly off from level. One of the toilets upstairs had been replaced and it's tilted.

It didn't really matter in the end because the market crashed a little more after we bought and we were under water on the house about 9 months after we moved in. So they definitely got out at a good time.

This is pretty much where we are at. We are going to get smacked with PMI if we pay much higher than appraised value for the home, AND/OR we have to come up with a crap ton more money. We are already putting 20% down and paying our own closing costs, we don't have a ton more money to part with. And even if we did I wouldn't want to be ending this whole process with $11 in my bank accounts.

They sound absolutely miserable, good for you for sticking to your guns!!
