final walkthrough

Well, today was the very exciting final walk through!  My PM is awesome and he spent almost 4 1/2 hours with me!

We marked a few areas that needed attention: a crooked faucet, a dented door, dented garage door, and some paint touch ups.  One other area was a piece of tile at the entry of my son's bathroom that was sticking up higher than the others around it and was sharp.

Other than that, he went through every thing he could possibly go through with me.  He even showed me how to use my new appliances and let me tell you, those things are AWESOME!

After our meeting, I got a call that we received final loan approval and will close on Friday as planned...

BUT

the appraisal has to be updated before the loan can be funded...

and no money = no keys

So, while I am very very very happy that our loan is approved and there is nothing that WE have to do, I am sad that now someone else holds the keys to my house in their hands!

My lender and our settlement coordinator left the appraiser a message both on her business line and cell phone line so I am really really really really hoping this gets taken care of and that this person is not out of town or away on vacation.

Turns out the appraisal had wrongly listed us on a public road with a non-vented fireplace, when we are actually on a private road with a vented fireplace...

WHO CARES!!!!!!

Apparently the loan people because they will not send over the money until the appraisal properly lists these things!

So please, send your prayers, thoughts, good vibes our way because we are SO CLOSE to be held up by someone else's mistake!!

THANKS!!!
